香港截取通讯及监察活动规管机制研究

Study on the Development History and Mechanism of Covert Investigation in Hong Kong

截取通讯及秘密监察活动具有双刃性特征,应对其予以有效规管,以求平衡打击犯罪与保障人权。香港政府一贯重视对以截取通讯和秘密监察为主要方式的侦查活动的规管,在经历了三个主要发展阶段后,最终形成了堪称典范的规管机制。香港现行秘密侦查规管机制主要体现在四个方面,即明确的授权制度,独立的监督机构,完善的材料处理机制,完备的保障制度,其对我国内地秘密侦查的规范化有重要借鉴作用。

Covert investigation activity is a double-edged sword. In order to strike a balance between fight against crime and protecting human rights, effective regulation must be implemented. The Hong Kong government has always attached great importance to the regulation of such activities. After three stages of development, it is exemplary in developing an effective regulatory mechanism finally. There are four major characteristics of the current regulatory mechanism： a clear authorization system, independent monitor bodies, a thorough material processing mechanism and a complete security system, which all suggest important reference for the standardization of covert investigation in the Chinese Mainland.
