香港大學學生會校園電視就香港警務處及鳳凰衛視聯合製作《暗夜星辰》擅用本台片段之譴責聲明
警方於七月二十二日在社交媒體發佈了與鳳凰衛視聯合製作的紀錄片《暗夜星辰》。其中，二零一九年十月一日有關「警方在荃灣示威中開實彈打中一人左胸」的兩條片段（51:51 - 53:10），為本台記者所拍。本台翻閱過往紀錄，證實警方及鳳凰衛視均在沒有徵得本台授權下，擅自使用本台所拍攝的片段。
本台曾以電郵向警察公共關係科查詢該片段的截取途徑及授權過程，警察公共關係科當值新聞主任透過電郵作出回覆，該電郵長達四百零九字描述紀錄片的製作過程和分工，卻沒有回答我們兩條簡單的提問。本台亦曾經透過電話向鳳凰衛視查詢有關事宜，惟該電視台拒絕直接回應，截稿前亦未曾以任何形式回覆本台。
本台在此就警方及鳳凰衛視在未經授權下，於其製作內使用並剪輯本台採訪人員拍攝的片段，予以強烈譴責。此等行為對本台極不尊重。本台要求警方及鳳凰衛視尊重前線記者及所有記錄者的心血，並承諾日後要先申請授權，列明影片出處以作指定用途。

Campus TV, HKUSU’s Statement of Condemnation of the Unauthorised Use of Video Clips in “Starry Night”, Co-produced by the Hong Kong Police Force and Phoenix TV
The Police released a documentary named “Starry Night”, jointly produced with Phoenix TV, on its social media platforms on July 22nd. The said documentary features two video clips of the police shooting an individual in the left chest in Tsuen Wan (51:51 - 53:10) on October 1st, 2019. These clips were captured by reporters affiliated with Campus TV, HKUSU (hereinafter “Campus TV”). Campus TV has looked into the matter by examining its previous correspondence and requesting that the Police and Phoenix TV provide relevant information. It is confirmed that both parties have used video clips owned by Campus TV without gaining any approval.
Campus TV has contacted the Police and Phoenix TV, via email and phone respectively, to inquire how they obtained, and gained authorisation for the use of, the said video clips - but to no avail. Instead of giving a direct answer, the Information and Publicity Officer from the Police Public Relations Branch detailed the production process of the documentary in its 409-word reply. Phoenix TV has refused to answer the questions raised by Campus TV directly. As of publication, there has not been any response regarding the acquisition of the said clips.
Campus TV hereby strongly condemns the unauthorised use and editing of videos recorded by its reporters by the Police and Phoenix TV in their documentary. Such acts are nothing but disrespectful to Campus TV. Campus TV demands that the Police and Phoenix TV respect the efforts of every journalist, especially those working at the frontlines; as well as promise to seek their authorisation and indicate the source of the clips utilised before publication.
Campus TV, HKUSU
