dbpprop:abstract
  • Digital evidence or electronic evidence is any probative information stored or transmitted in digital form that a party to a court case may use at trial. The use of digital evidence has increased in the past few decades as courts have allowed the use of e-mails, digital photographs, ATM transaction logs, word processing documents, instant message histories, files saved from accounting programs, spreadsheets, internet browser histories, databases, the contents of computer memory, computer backups, computer printouts, Global Positioning System tracks, logs from a hotel’s electronic door locks, and digital video or audio files. While many courts in the United States have applied the Federal Rules of Evidence to digital evidence in the same way as more traditional documents, courts have noted very important differences. As compared to the more traditional evidence, courts have noted that digital evidence tends to be more voluminous, more difficult to destroy, easily modified, easily duplicated, potentially more expressive, and more readily available. As such, some courts have sometimes treated digital evidence differently for purposes of authentication, hearsay, the best evidence rule, and privilege. In December 2006, strict new rules were enacted within the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure requiring the preservation and disclosure of electronically stored evidence.
  • 數位證據,又稱為電子證據,是以數位形態儲存或傳輸,並可作呈堂證據用的數位電子資訊,由控方或辯方其中一方呈上作為法庭案件裁判時的理據。 在近年,數位證據的使用次數有增加的趨勢,包括英、美在內的部份西方社會的法庭開始接納數位證據的使用,包括:電子郵件、數位相片、自動櫃員機交易記錄、文字編輯程式文件、即時通訊程式對話記錄、會計管理程式檔案、試算表、互聯網瀏覽器歷史記錄、電子資料庫、電腦檔案備份、電腦列印資料、電腦記憶體內的內容、國際定位系統記錄、酒店及旅館的電子門鎖記錄、數位的影音檔案等等。
