FT 金融時報 | So much for parliamentary privilege: Damian Green, the frontbench Conservative MP for Ashford, was arrested this week and held for nine hours for his part in leaking official documents to the press. |這麼多議員的特權:達米安綠色的frontbench保守黨議員的阿什福德,被逮捕,並在本週舉行的9個小時,他參加正式文件洩露給新聞界。 The police’s absurd over-reaction shows a lack of understanding of political sensitivities in relation to freedom of information.警方荒謬的過度反應顯示出缺乏了解政治敏感性與信息自由。 The government is right to investigate leaks.政府有權調查洩漏。 Given the sensitivity of materials in the Home Office, police involvement can be appropriate.鑑於敏感材料的家庭辦公室,警察參與可以是適當的。 In this case, however, there were no security implications.在這種情況下,然而,沒有安全問題。 The mole should simply have been subject to internal disciplinary procedures.鼴鼠只應受到內部紀律處分程序。 But the police force has, not for the first time, used political offences as a pretext for showing off.但是,警察部隊,而不是第一次,使用政治罪行為藉口來炫耀。 As with the “cash for honours” investigation into whether parties sold positions in the House of Lords to donors, the police have delighted in dramatic, empty gestures.至於“現金換爵位”的調查是否出售方的立場在上議院向捐助者,警方已戲劇性高興的,空洞的姿態。 Mr Green was arrested on the common-law offence of suspicion of conspiracy to commit misconduct in public office; among other things, this would require proving that the leaks he was involved with were damaging to the commonweal.格林先生被逮捕的普通法罪行,涉嫌串謀犯失當行為的公職;除其他事項外,這將需要證明他是漏水參與了有損於公益。 Some of the exposés were trivial, some showed up ministerial incompetence.一些暴露了瑣碎,有些出現部長級無能。 None was against the public interest.沒有人對公共利益。 Revelations like Mr Green’s are what we demand of our official opposition politicians; they are self-evidently a public good.啟示格林先生一樣的是我們的要求我們的官方反對派政治家,他們是自我顯然是公共利益。 Ministers adamantly deny knowing that Mr Green was going to be arrested for doing his job.部長們堅決否認知道格林先生會被逮捕做他的工作。 Maybe so, but they must explain how an internal leak inquiry ended with arresting an MP for such a ridiculous offence.或許如此,但他們必須解釋如何洩漏的內部調查結束時逮捕一名議員這樣一個可笑的罪行。 The Metropolitan Police Authority, the body to which the London police force answers, will need to ask tough questions about why this was allowed to happen.首都警察當局,機構,倫敦警察部隊的答案,將需要問棘手的問題,為什麼這是不允許發生的。 Boris Johnson, mayor of London, chairs the body and advised against the action.鮑里斯約翰遜,倫敦市長,椅子的屍體,並建議對行動。 There must be genuine accountability for police forces.必須有真正的問責制的警察部隊。 Mr Green’s experience has also highlighted part of the common law that needs reform.格林先生的經驗,還強調部分共同法律,需要改革。 Charges of the same offence were dropped only this week against a local journalist in Milton Keynes.收費的同一罪行是只丟了這個星期對當地記者在米爾頓凱恩斯。 Her offence had been to find out from a helpful policeman whether a local footballer would be charged with an offence.她的罪行已找出從一個有用的警察是否有當地足球將被落案控以一項罪行。 She escaped only because of protections offered by the European Human Rights Act.她逃到不僅是因為提供的保護歐洲人權法。 Governments must be jealous of giving the police too much power and of vague, open-ended offences.各國政府必須珍惜給予警察權力過大和含糊,不限成員名額的罪行。 Unaccountable police forces with such loosely defined prerogatives are a menace to liberty.不負責任的警察部隊等特權鬆散的定義是一個威脅的自由。 But there is little reason to hope that this administration will recognise this.但有什麼理由希望這一政府將認識到這一點。 The draconian anti-terror legislation it has introduced alone has given the police so much power that it has been used to detain an elderly heckler at the Labour party conference, stop protests and, last month, to freeze the assets of Icelandic banks.在嚴厲的反恐怖立法,推出了僅給了警察如此重要的權力,它已被用來扣留老人共和黨人在勞工黨的會議,停止抗議活動,並在上個月,以凍結其資產的冰島銀行。 The government must stop making free with civil liberties.政府必須停止免費的公民自由。 Have Your Say: Taking liberties with information 你說:以自由的信息 Please read our請仔細閱讀我們的 posting guidelines before posting張貼在發布前的指導方針 . 。 Alternatively或者 you can discuss this report here你可以討論這份報告在這裡 . 。 One Response to “Taking liberties with information”一個響應“以信息自由”
