新西兰提出的抗议法因含糊不清的条款而遭到强烈反击, New Zealand’s proposed protest law faces backlash for vague terms that could unfairly restrict free expression.

提出的新西兰法律将在家附近的抗议活动定为犯罪, A proposed New Zealand law to criminalize protests near homes faces criticism for vague terms like "demonstration," "near," and "unreasonable disruption," raising concerns about inconsistent enforcement and threats to free expression. 虽然该法案的目的是在安全和抗议权利之间取得平衡,但法案的五个必要要素很难适用,特别是警察没有接受法律培训。 While aiming to balance safety with protest rights, the bill's five required elements are hard to apply, especially by police without legal training. 现有法律已经涵盖暴力、威胁和无序行为。 批评者认为,新措施可能遏制合法抗议,包括用于工作或农场的住宅附近的抗议。 Existing laws already cover violence, threats, and disorderly conduct, and critics argue the new measure could chill legitimate protests, including those near homes used for work or farms. 没有明确的定义,法律就有可能超越和任意适用,损害民主权利,尽管其公开宣布的目标是保护隐私。 Without clear definitions, the law risks overreach and arbitrary application, undermining democratic rights despite its stated goal of protecting privacy.
