A Comparative Study of the Admissibility and Invalidity of Electronic Evidence
摘要
This study explores the topic of electronic evidence, its admissibility, and its invalidity. In our contemporary society, electronic evidence is of considerable significance due to the swift evolution of methods for committing crimes, which are frequently associated with advancements in technology. The techniques for extracting such evidence have transformed, resulting in a distinct nature of evidence compared to traditional physical forms. Unlike the tangible evidence that investigators and judges are typically familiar with, electronic evidence comprises a blend of information, numbers, and data that is often housed within computers and networks. Consequently, the primary concern revolves around the processes of obtaining, managing, and utilizing this evidence to substantiate or refute the allegations made against the accused. This has led to various challenges regarding the admissibility of electronic evidence, which this research addresses through a comparative scientific approach. The investigation is structured into two principal sections: the first delineates the characteristics of electronic evidence, while the second examines its admissibility and invalidity. The researchers conclude with a compilation of findings and recommendations.
