一般人於他人刑事案件,均負有作證人之義務,然而,在特殊情形下,為避免證人處於偽證罪及其利益衝突之兩難關係,而有損刑事訴訟發現真實之要求,因此,乃賦予證人就該等事項得拒絕證言。 然而,證人於訊問時主張拒絕證言,偵查機關卻透過迂迴方式,發動搜索程序,藉以取得拒絕證言權人之非供述證據時,其容許性為何,對此問題,應回歸各該拒絕證言權的規範目的出發,分別探討其與搜索程序之關係,以充分瞭解搜索拒絕證言權人處所的容許性。 本文第一章為「緒論」,主要說明研究動機、目的,並簡單介紹拒絕證言權的意義。 第二章則就拒絕證言權的內涵分別加以論述,包括其起源、理論基礎、權利內容以及各項拒絕證言權之相關問題等一一加以介紹。 第三章則簡單介紹發動強制處分或搜索程序之原則與限制,以確立發動搜索的之必要性及理由。 第四章結合拒絕證言權的規範內涵,與搜索程序相互對照,探討對拒絕證言權人發動搜索的容許性。 第五章「結論」,綜合檢討我國對於拒絕證言權人發動搜索所產生的問題,並提出相關建議。
