不斷打電話罪和硬幣條例

Question

https://hk.news.yahoo.com/%E5%85%A9%E7%94%B7%E5%A5...

(1)請問不斷打電話罪是否屬於簡易程序治罪條例?

(2) 如果屬於該條例,條例中說的極為令人厭惡的訊息,如何才屬於極為令人厭惡的訊息? 每人的標準亦不同? 何謂叫做不斷,要幾多次先叫做不斷?咁收數佬都經常打電話比債仔,是否也犯了此罪?

(3) 咁d廣告電話都令我極為厭惡,為什麼政府又唔用呢條法例告打電話d人或禁止該行為

(4)條例中提到無合理因由及旨在達致任何上述目的,什麼是合理因由? 推銷算不算是合理因由?

(5)根據硬幣條例,付款時如用少於$1的硬幣,總額不可超過$2,請問如果超過$2又是不是會犯了刑事條例? 罰則是多少? 如果有商店肯收超過$2的毫子,請問買方和賣方是否已經犯了法?

在此請教各位,謝謝!

1. Yes. Under Section 20(c):

(By the way, the case number for this case is TWCC1424/2015.)

2. There is no definite answer. However, when evaluating the action and the speech involved, the court will determine if this is offensive enough to a reasonable person.

Calls regarding collection usually does not fall under this as its call is legitimate in nature. At the least, if a debtor does not owe money, no call will be ever made.

3. Unfortunately:

a. The offender must persistently, not occasionally, contact the victims. Most advertisement are occasional.

b. You must report to the police to initiate the criminal proceedings.

4. A cause or reason that a ordinary person can accept. Not necessary, as some of these calls may be consented based on your privacy preference.

5. No. Coinage Ordinance is a civil law. In short, the law simply allows any merchants to refuse as a right. It does not stop any merchants from accepting more than $2 in coins less than $1.

你打滋擾電話，當然可以唔聽，唔接，BLOCK你，或者告你，你俾錢用大量神沙，人地同樣可以唔收你，唔做你生意唔犯法。
