Supplementary Provisions, Article 12Review
第十二条（検討）
In examining the way the system for audio and video recording, etc. of interrogations prescribed in Article 9, paragraph (1) of the Supplementary Provisions of the Act Partially Amending the Code of Criminal Procedure, etc. should be pursuant to the provisions of that paragraph, the government is to examine, as promptly as possible, the way that system should be with regard to cases relating to the crimes under Article 6-2, paragraphs (1) and (2) of the New Organized Crime Punishment Act, in light of the status of application of those provisions and the status of investigation and trial of cases relating to the crimes under those provisions, etc., and bearing in mind in particular that it has been pointed out that interrogation pursuant to the provisions of Article 198, paragraph (1) of the Code of Criminal Procedure has an important significance as a method of collecting evidence in cases relating to those crimes.
政府は、刑事訴訟法等の一部を改正する法律附則第九条第一項の規定により同項に規定する取調べの録音・録画等に関する制度の在り方について検討を行うに当たっては、新組織的犯罪処罰法第六条の二第一項及び第二項の規定の適用状況並びにこれらの規定の罪に係る事件の捜査及び公判の状況等を踏まえ、特に、当該罪に係る事件における証拠の収集の方法として刑事訴訟法第百九十八条第一項の規定による取調べが重要な意義を有するとの指摘があることにも留意して、可及的速やかに、当該罪に係る事件に関する当該制度の在り方について検討を加えるものとする。
The government is to examine, promptly after this Act comes into effect, the way the system for conducting investigations using a method of attaching a terminal relating to the Global Positioning System to a vehicle and searching for and ascertaining location information should be, and, if it finds it necessary, to take required measures based on the results, in light of the fact that, while using that method in the investigation of cases relating to the crimes under Article 6-2, paragraphs (1) and (2) of the New Organized Crime Punishment Act contributes to collecting evidence for clarifying the factual background of the case, it was pointed out in the judgment of the Grand Bench of the Supreme Court of March 15, 2017 (2016 (A) No. 442) that an investigation using that method constitutes a compulsory measure that is not permissible under the Code of Criminal Procedure unless there is a special provision as its basis, and that, if an investigation using that method is an effective investigative method that may continue to be widely used, it is desirable that legislative measures be taken in conducting it.
政府は、新組織的犯罪処罰法第六条の二第一項及び第二項の罪に係る事件の捜査に全地球測位システムに係る端末を車両に取り付けて位置情報を検索し把握する方法を用いることが、事案の真相を明らかにするための証拠の収集に資するものである一方、最高裁判所平成二八年（あ）第四四二号同二九年三月一五日大法廷判決において、当該方法を用いた捜査が、刑事訴訟法上、特別の根拠規定がある場合でなければ許容されない強制の処分に当たり、当該方法を用いた捜査が今後も広く用いられ得る有力な捜査方法であるとすれば、これを行うに当たっては立法措置が講ぜられることが望ましい旨が指摘されていることを踏まえ、この法律の施行後速やかに、当該方法を用いた捜査を行うための制度の在り方について検討を加え、必要があると認めるときは、その結果に基づいて所要の措置を講ずるものとする。
Supreme Court
最高裁判所
The highest court, and the court of last resort on whether any law, order, regulation or official act conforms to the Constitution (Article 76, paragraph (1), and Article 81). That power is what makes the Constitution enforceable: there is no penalty attached to breaching it, and instead a conflicting rule is held to have no legal force (Article 98, paragraph (1)). Its judges are reviewed by the people at the first general election after appointment, and again after ten further years (Article 79, paragraph (2)).
