警察和你的权利

新西兰有一支可靠、值得信赖和平易近人的警察部队。新西兰警方解决了相对较多的罪行。新西兰的警察必须遵守严格的规定。他们在日常生活中不骚扰你,通常也不携带个人枪支。

责任

新西兰警方通过将违法者绳之以法,努力防止犯罪和执法。他们还负责交通管理、在道路上巡逻因交通违法行为以及发出违反道路规则的门票和违规通知。

其他职责包括

  • 维持和平和维护公共安全
  • 提供社区支持和保障
  • 协助国家安全和应急管理。

新西兰警方将他们的工作视为共同的责任。他们的口号是 “在一起更安全的社区”,因此他们与当地社区和组织密切合作。

行为守则和对警察权力的限制

新西兰警察必须遵守行为守则,要求他们始终遵守道德和职业行为。以下是不当行为和严重不当行为的一些例子:

不当

  • 违反警方政策或程序
  • 严厉对待一个人
  • 使用辱骂性或冒犯性语言
  • 滥用警察互联网或电子邮件系统
  • 将任何警察数据库用于任何未经授权或个人目的
  • 没有正当理由缺勤或迟到
  • 未能宣布利益冲突
  • 滥用、虐待或不合理照顾警方财产

  • 过度不合理的暴力

如果你碰巧与警方有互动,那么了解自己的权利很重要:

进入权力:警察何时可以进入你的家

警方没有任何自动进入你家的权利。如果你不同意,警察只有在有法律权力这样做的情况下才能进来,因为:

  • 他们从法院获得了逮捕令(书面授权)—— 例如搜查令或逮捕令
  • 他们正在防止或调查犯罪,或者他们正在执法。

注意:如果你同意让警察进入家里,你可以随时改变主意,然后警察必须立即离开(除非有事情给他们留下来的法律权力-例如,如果他们看到了大麻植物或其他非法药物)。

搜索权力:警察何时可以搜索你、你的家或你的东西

对于警察何时可以搜索你的家、你的车、你的行李和其他物品,以及你个人,都有重要的限制。他们只有在获得你的许可(“同意”)或者拥有特定的法律权力的情况下,他们才能做到这一点,要么是因为他们得到了法官的逮捕证(书面授权),或者是议会法案授权他们在没有逮捕证的情况下这样做。

但是,即使你同意搜查,在某些情况下搜查可能仍然是非法的 —— 这意味着,例如,如果警方在法庭上提起刑事指控,可能无法将他们发现的东西用作不利于你的证据。

被警察讯问:

例如,如果你在街上走路时遇到警察,他们可以向你提出问题,如果他们认为你可能有关于他们正在调查的犯罪的有用信息。

但是警察不能告诉你或向你建议你必须回答问题。

如果警察拘留你(无论你是否被捕)他们想询问你,他们首先必须告诉你这些基本权利:

  • 你可以保持安静!-警方必须告诉你,你不必回答他们的任何问题或说任何事情。你可以保持沉默。
  • 你可以和律师谈谈 —— 他们必须告诉你,在你决定是否回答警方的问题之前,你有权私下和律师谈话,不会有任何不合理的拖延。他们还必须告诉你,你可以根据警察拘留法律援助计划免费与律师谈话。
  • 你说的话可能会被用来对付你 —— 警方必须告诉你,你对他们说的任何话都会被记录下来,并可以在以后在法庭上作为证据提供。

虽然这取决于你,但几乎总是最好在你有机会和律师谈话之前不要向警方说任何事情。

被捕:你的权利

如果警察逮捕了你,或者如果你没有被捕但警察拘留了你(例如,搜寻非法毒品或武器),你有以下权利:

  • 他们必须以人道和尊重的态度对待你。
  • 他们必须在逮捕时告诉你,逮捕的原因(除非这不切实际或者情况下的原因很明显)。
  • 如果警察有逮捕令,如果你要求看,他们必须在逮捕后尽快向你出示逮捕令。
  • 你有权保持沉默。
  • 你有权私下和律师谈话,不受任何不合理的拖延,警方还必须告诉你你你有这项权利,包括你可以根据警察拘留法律援助计划 “法律援助” 免费与律师谈话
  • 警方必须立即向你提出指控,否则将你释放。
  • 如果他们不释放你,他们必须尽快把你带到法庭。

如果警方负责你,你有权:

  • 被告知收费是什么
  • 和律师谈谈
  • 由独立和公正的法院进行公正和公开的审讯
  • 除非和直到你被证明有罪,否则被推定为无罪。

监控权力

警方无权在私人财产上放置监视或拦截装置(未经占用者同意),除非这样做是为了获取与犯罪有关的证据:

  • 可处以至少七年监禁,或
  • 根据 1983 年《武器法》,这是一项具体罪行,主要是与非法拥有特定武器有关的罪行。

如果警方是以下情况,警方不需要逮捕令即可记录(秘密或其他方式):

  • 合法处理私人财产并记录他们观察到的内容
  • 录制自愿对话的音频材料,只要参与对话的一个人同意这一点(如果警官是谈话的一部分,他们可以是同意的人)。

警方需要法官签发的逮捕令才能开展以下监视活动:

  • 使用拦截装置拦截私人通信
  • 使用跟踪设备(除非它只是为了了了解某些东西是打开还是被篡改,安装设备不涉及侵入)
  • 观察私人活动并通过视觉监控进行记录
  • 使用涉及侵入的监控设备
  • 观察和记录私人房地,即使它不涉及侵入,除非监视在任何 24 小时内不到三个小时,或总共不到八个小时。

如果刑事诉讼已经启动,警察可以保存原始监视数据(包括视频录像、录音等),直至:

  • 与监视所针对的罪行有关的刑事诉讼(包括上诉)已经结束,
  • 这些刑事诉讼的任何上诉期已过期(以最晚者为准)。

如果没有启动刑事诉讼,警方可以保留以下原始监视数据:

  • 三年,如果正在进行的调查需要数据,或
  • 如果按订单指定,可再延长两年(以最新者为准)。

DNA 样本:当你必须提供样本时

警方可以合法地让你给他们一个 DNA 样本有两种情况:

  • 你正在被捕或即将被起诉 —— 如果警察因犯罪而逮捕了你,或者他们打算起诉你,他们可以依法要求你提供 DNA 样本
  • 警方有法院命令 — 如果警察怀疑你犯了可以越狱的罪行,而你在他们要求你后拒绝给他们提供 DNA 样本,警方可以去地区法院要求法官命令你提供样本

警方持有的关于你的信息以及如何获取信息:

无论是私人企业还是像警方这样的政府机构,您都有权访问任何组织所掌握的有关您的信息。你可以问警察他们是否有关于你的任何信息,然后他们必须确认他们是否有关于你的任何信息。如果他们这样做,他们必须为您提供访问权限,但有些例外。

进行投诉:

如果你认为警方虐待你或不公平地对待你,你可以直接向警方投诉,或者你可以向独立警察行为管理局、监察员或地区法院投诉。(警方、监察员或地区法院必须尽快将投诉转交独立警察行为管理局)。

你可以口头或书面投诉。如果你确实提出口头投诉,你必须尽快以书面形式把它放下来。

你的投诉需要说:

  • 发生了什么
  • 它发生的时间和地点
  • 所涉警官的姓名或号码
  • 亲眼目睹所发生事件的人的任何陈述
  • 医生的报告或任何伤害的照片
  • 任何其他相关信息。

独立警察行为管理局收到您的投诉后,它将决定是否进行调查,如果是,进行何种类型的调查。
