Electronic evidence in the Slovene Criminal Procedure Act

In October 2009, the Slovene legislator adopted an Act Amending the Criminal Procedure Act (CPA-J). With this law, two new articles entered the Criminal Procedure Act: article No. 219.a and article No. 223.a. Both articles regulate basic standards (guidelines) for the collection of electronic evidence for criminal proceedings, and are based on the fact that in the great majority of cases, it isnot the electronic device that is crucial, but the data stored in or on it.
