Abstract(s)
“Electronic Mail (Email), which is one of the most widely used applications of Internet, has become a global communication infrastructure service”.
A preponderância do correio eletrónico na vida social faz dele um dos principais meios de comunicação entre humanos, sendo tal relevância atribuída, de igual modo, às comunicações de natureza semelhante, como são as mensagens instantâneas das várias plataformas digitais.
Como tal, passaram a ser utilizados como meios para o cometimento de crimes, com a sua importância jurídica a evoluir, mostrando-se de uma extrema relevância como prova destes.
O legislador português tem vindo a adotar regimes para que aqueles quids comunicativos possam ser obtidos para prova.
A questão advém no momento anterior à existência de um Inquérito, “mesmo antes de receberem ordem da autoridade judiciária”, onde é necessário e urgente apreender mensagens digitais, como “meios de prova”, ou seja, aplicação de medidas cautelares ou de polícia, ex vi art.º 249.º, n.º 1, do CPP, face ao silêncio do art.º 17.º, da LCib. acerca da aplicação de tais medidas.
Questiona-se como proceder, isto porque, se por um lado, sendo impostos procedimentos próprios para a apreensão, por outro, até onde estes afetam mesmas medidas cautelares e de polícia.
Pela literatura existente, quer na jurisprudência quer na doutrina, não se constata debate jurídico no que respeita ao ato de apreensão de correio eletrónico ou comunicações de natureza semelhante como medida cautelar ou de polícia, mas face à importância destas, o presente trabalho visa, desmontar a engenharia atinente ao processo de comunicação destes meios de modo a abrir e, dar resposta à, eventual, incompatibilidade existente entre a apreensão daqueles e das medidas cautelares e de polícia.
“Electronic Mail, which is one of the most widely used applications of Internet, has become a global communication infrastructure service”. The preponderance of electronic mail in social life makes it one of the main means of communication between humans, with such relevance also being attributed to communications of a similar nature, such as instant messaging on various digital platforms. As such, they began to be used as means for committing crimes, with their legal importance evolving, proving to be extremely relevant as proof. The Portuguese legislator has been adopting regimes so that those communicative quids can be obtained as evidence. The issue arises at the moment before the existence of an Inquiry, “even before receiving an order from the judicial authority”, where it is necessary and urgent to seize digital messages, as “evidence”, that is, application of precautionary or police measures, ex vi article 249, no. 1, of the PCPC, given the silence in article 17, of the LCib. regarding the application of such measures. The question is how to proceed, because, in one hand, specific procedures for seizure are imposed, in the other, how these affect the same precautionary and police measures. From the existing literature, whether in jurisprudence or in doctrine, there is no debate regarding the act of seizing email or communications of a similar nature as a precautionary or police measure, but given the importance of these, the present work aims to dismantle the engineering related to the communication process of these means in order to open and respond to the eventual incompatibility between the seizure of those means and precautionary and police measures.
