隨著科技的日新月異,GPS定位追蹤技術已廣泛運用於日常生活當中,國家機關也將其當作犯罪偵查的手段。然而,GPS定位追蹤可能侵害人民隱私,在欠缺法律明確授權的情況下,運用其作為蒐證手段將產生違法偵查的疑慮。對此,本文從臺灣高等法院高雄分院105年度上易字第604號刑事判決出發,初步認為我國現行法欠缺GPS定位追蹤措施的明確授權依據。進而從比較法的觀點,介紹德國法上有關住宅外使用科技設備監視之相關規範,作為我國法之借鏡。最後,綜整研究成果,提出立法建議之方向,以供未來實務運作及立法參考。
In today world, technology is advancing continuously, Global Position System (GPS) positioning tracking technology has been widely used in daily life. Law enforcement also regard it as a pattern of criminal investigation. However, GPS positioning tracking may infringe the privacy of the people, in the absence of clear authorization of the law, the use of its will constitute illegal investigation. In this regard, this article begins with review of the Taiwan high court Kaohsiung branch court judgmemt Shan-Yi-Zi No.604 (2016). I conclude that the regulations in Taiwan cannot serve as the basis of authority of initiating investigation by the use of GPS positioning tracking. Secondly, this article will introduce the relevant provisions of the German criminal procedure law on "other outdoor surveillance measures" and hopes of finding areas that Taiwan can learn from it. Finally, this article will present some suggestions, with the hope to provide reference of practical operation of law and legal policy in the future.
