侵害隱私之不法竊錄行為—兼論私人蒐證行為之合法界限
Illegal Recording Acts Infringing on Privacy—Alongside a Discussion on the Legal Boundaries of Private Evidence Collection
本文主要討論刑法對侵害隱私之不法攝錄行為的處罰及私人蒐證行為的合法界限，特別聚焦於刑法第315條之1無故竊錄罪的爭議，包括所謂「非公開活動或言論」的認定基準以及對「無故」要件的解釋，同時並以此為基礎進一步釐清私人基於蒐證目的所為之竊錄行為，除非有具備合法化的正當事由，否則原則上僅得針對非私密的公共空間進行蒐證。
This article primarily discusses the criminal penalties under the Criminal Code for illegal recording acts that infringe upon privacy, as well as the legal boundaries of private evidence collection. It particularly focuses on the controversies surrounding Article 315-1 of the Criminal Code regarding the crime of recording without reason ,including the criteria for determining what constitutes “non-public activities or speeches” and the interpretation of the “without reason” element. Based on this foundation ,the article further clarifies that when individuals engage in surreptitious recording for the purpose of collecting evidence, such acts are, in principle, only permissible in non-private public spaces, unless there are legitimate grounds for justification.
