참고인진술에 대한 영상녹화물의 활용방안

It is true that this video recording system in the Criminal Procedure Code has advantages such as discovering substantive truth, protecting the human rights of parties participating in criminal proceedings, securing investigation efficiency, and enhancing investigation techniques. Despite the concern for misuse of video recording systems, such as superficial trial-centrism and the danger of disturbing the true assurance of laws, it is not desirable to give up the benefits of this system. Therefore, it is necessary to find desirable ways to properly fit the newly edited video recording system into the Criminal Procedure Code. The first way to solve problems of current video recording systems is to set a standard for admitting video recordings into court as evidence. However, this solution may also open the door to many other problems. Therefore making suggestions by steps are most applicable. In addition, we must consider the effect this will have on social minorities. Social minorities are defined as persons who have difficulty in normally participating in the Criminal Procedure Code. However, they need special protection from the Criminal Procedure Code since it is predictable that they will have difficulty understanding Criminal Procedure Code such as discovering the truth, rapid procedure of court, and obeying legal procedure while participating without prior knowledge of how the system works. And to conclude, a systematic standard of individualized, special laws to protect witnesses and minorities in the video recording process will help to overcome the lack of transparency, imperfection of process, and the lack of a specific standard for video recording.
