Electronic evidence, a term that has become more commonly accepted than others, such as "digital evidence" or "technological evidence", is now firmly established in forensic practice and doctrinal considerations, and there is an increasing degree of consensus as regards the concept and its application in practice. Nonetheless, there has been a pressing need for the regulation of such evidence. The recent Spanish Act, governing the "Use of Information and Communications Technology in the Administration of Justice" attempts to provide such regulation, although it does so in a somewhat timid manner. The objective of this article is to contribute some reflections or suggestions that might serve to complement the legislation, which are, in an indirect manner, covered by this act governing electronic evidence. 2
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
