The criminal confrontation of audio recordings between the sanctity of private life and the necessities of proof (A comparative study)

Abstract

The technological revolution led to the emergence of modern devices and technologies that allow recording conversations and phone calls and keeping these recordings in a way that allows them to be re-listened, transmitted or published. These recordings raise many problems, including reconciling the fact that they constitute a violation of the sanctity of the private life of individuals on the one hand, and the fact that they may help in revealing the crime and the perpetrator, and the right to sanctity of the conversations and calls of the individual collides with the right of the victim - who may be affected by these conversations or calls - to prove On the one hand, the speaker who assaulted others through his conversations or calls wastes his right to privacy, and on the other hand, the right of the person against whom this assault occurred to evidence becomes more important, especially if these recordings are the only way he has to prove his claim.
