網路之刑事追訴——科技與法律的較勁

Abstract

於今日數位資訊社會，對抗網路犯罪成為刑法與相關刑事訴訟法的重大議題。資訊科技為法律帶來多方面挑戰。當網路成為犯罪工具，國家何嘗不想利用網路追訴犯罪。網路之刑事追訴正是科技與法律的一種較勁。科技固然一日千里，但網路偵查措施不管多精密，終究應回歸基本權干預的審查體系。對於電腦科技犯罪之蒐證，無論是雲端搜索、秘密線上搜索，審查其干預法律依據將是重心所在。因此，探求現行法是否有適當的干預授權基礎，成為網路追訴的首要課題。

Information Technology has brought many challenges to the law. The fight against cybercrime in the substantive criminal law and the corresponding rules of criminal procedure are significant issues in today`s digital information society. The Internet has become a tool for criminals. Then why are countries worldwide still hesitant in using the Internet to track and prosecute crimes? The investigation in internet serves as a type of confrontation between technology and law. Although technology advances at dizzying speeds, online detection measures-no matter how carefully designed-should be based on a scrutiny system underpinned by basic rights. The collection of evidence for cybercrimes-regardless of cloud searches or hidden online searches- must be based around a review of laws violated. As a result, whether existing laws have a proper and legal basis for intervention has become the most important issue in prosecuting online criminals.
