第四十条（電磁的記録提供命令等における留意事項）
In having electronic or magnetic records provided under an order to provide electronic or magnetic records (meaning an order to provide electronic or magnetic records prescribed in Article 102-2, paragraph (1) of the Code of Criminal Procedure as amended by the provisions of Article 1), or in seizing recording media relating to electronic or magnetic records, particular care must be taken, in light of the fact that the protection of personal information has become more important in a digital society, to avoid, to the extent possible, acquiring personal information that has no relevance to the case of the defendant or the case of the suspect.
電磁的記録提供命令（第一条の規定による改正後の刑事訴訟法第百二条の二第一項に規定する電磁的記録提供命令をいう。）により電磁的記録を提供させ、又は電磁的記録に係る記録媒体を押収するに当たっては、デジタル社会において個人情報の保護がより重要となっていることに鑑み、できる限り被告事件又は被疑事件と関連性を有しない個人情報を取得することとならないよう、特に留意しなければならない。
