第47集 － 圍剿？禁錮？
Loewenstein有人問到，畀警方包抄，好似6月9日夜晚幾百人被警方圍住走唔到，係唔係非法禁錮。
其實問題真係好好，喱種方法叫Kettling，而最終喺2012年，歐洲人權法庭（European Court of Human Rights，ECtHR）裁定係合法行動。
原因：
In March 2012 the Court ruled that kettling was lawful and that the Metropolitan Police were entitled to detain groups of people as "the least intrusive and most effective means to protect the public from violence".
On the issues related to the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), the court ruled: "Article 5 did not have to be construed in such a way as to make it impracticable for the police to fulfil their duties of maintaining order and protecting the public." — Grand Chamber, European Court of Human Rights, Ruling, March 2012
簡單講，係法庭認為冇必要去將歐洲人權公約第5條，解讀到令警察無辦法去執行公務以維持治安。
當然，喱個係以歐洲情況去睇，英國喺1998年將歐洲人權公約（European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR)）在本地立法成為Human Rights Act 1998，以人權保障嚟講比香港嘅人權法案更大，大家可以比較Article 5 of ECHR同Article 5 of BORO，大同小異。
以我不專業記憶，喺香港「好似」未有人就喱種防暴戰術提出司法覆核，但又以不專業意見，搞JR成功機會不大。
