A localização GPS como meio de obtenção de prova no Processo Penal Português

Abstract

The new method of gathering evidence, known as GPS, constitutes an important tool in prevention and combating the organized crime. However, this method that goes against fundamental rights, is not regulated in the domestic law. Based on bibliographic and documental research, this thesis seeks to explore such problematic, both in the national level with doctrine and jurisprudence, as in the european level, through the comparative law and the ECHR, by displaying the different understandings and solutions. We conclude that to be admissible GPS should be regulated and that it is now up to the legislator to get down to work on regulating these new technology of key importance for the realization of the Justice, and for the good of the Rule of Law.
