Forum | Discussion of the Draft Technology-Assisted Investigation Act
Last edited: 2026-08-29
On September 8, 2020, the Ministry of Justice released a draft Technology-Assisted Investigation Act. The draft addresses surveillance, video recording, and location tracking-including investigations in non-private spaces, the use of GPS, and non-intrusive investigative methods in private spaces-as well as device-side communications interception and the acquisition and preservation of digital evidence. The proposal has drawn considerable attention. How to protect human rights while meeting legitimate investigative needs remains a question requiring further discussion, research, and ongoing oversight.
The Taipei Bar Association and the Judicial Reform Foundation have both been closely following technology-assisted investigation. Through this forum, they hope to encourage exchange among academics, civil society, and government practitioners; gather a range of views on the draft Technology-Assisted Investigation Act; help Taipei Bar Association members understand legal developments and handle related cases; and contribute to further discussion and reform of criminal procedure.
