"通過了更嚴苛的監聽規範"

立法院最近通過了通訊保障及監察法修正案，讓監聽的規範更嚴苛。

修正案的起因是最近馬英九總統和立法院發言人王金平涉入監聽問題的「九月政爭」事件。這項醜聞查明了最高法院特偵組只用了一個監聽搜查令，就監聽了數支不相關案子的電話號碼。

修正案的改變包含了檢方若沒先立案，就不能獲得法院核准去監聽，而針對個人的監聽得被限制在單獨對此人的搜查令之下進行，不得包括其他人。從監聽取得的資訊不能用來作為其他獨立案件的證據，除非能證明兩案有明顯關聯，而且要在七天之內發出搜查令才行。

司法改革基金會批評立法院的行動沒有效率，沒能阻止執法人員濫權，並說：「機構、調查系統和警方系統之間的階層關係必須終止。」

民進黨立委尤美女表示法律應該聚焦於保護個人自由，而不是協助警方的刑事調查。

(Politics) Tougher Wiretap Restrictions Passed

Legislature recently approved revisions to the Communication Security and Surveillance Act that toughen the rules governing wiretaps.

The amendments came after recent news regarding President Ma Yin-jeou and Legislative Speaker Wang jin-pyngs involvement in the September strife incident involving wiretaps. The scandal determined that the Special Investigation Division of the Supreme Prosecutors Office had placed telephone numbers of unrelated cases under a single wiretap warrant.

Revisions included changes that involve prosecutors being unable to obtain court-approved wiretaps without first building a case, and that wiretaps for a specific person be restricted to a warrant for that person alone, and not include others. Information gathered from wiretaps can no longer be used as evidence in separate cases unless an established link can be proved and warrants are issued within a seven day period.

The Judicial Reform Foundation criticized the legislatures actions as being insufficient in their ability to stop law enforcement personnel from abusing their power and stated that the subordinate relationship between the institutions and investigative and police systems must end.

DPP Legislator Yu Mei-nu stated that the law should be focused on protecting individuals freedoms, not on assisting police officers criminal investigations.
