Abstract
In accessing digital evidence, forensic scientists were met with restrictions in the need to have an authorization or consent from the owner of the evidence and their limited power due to the enforcement of law. Thus, the purposes of this study were to study the problems in accessing digital evidence for forensic scientists in Thailand and to study methods to prevent problems that may occurred in accessing digital evidence. In this study, our samples were officials from 3 state agencies related to law enforcement in Thailand namely, Department of Special Investigation, Royal Thai Police’s Office of Police Forensic Science, and Technology Crime Suppression Division. Thailand’s Computer-related Crime Act B.E. 2550 and its amendments, The Criminal Procedure Code and interview form were used as instruments for this study. The result showed that the problems in accessing digital evidence stemmed mostly from legal problems, technology used, budget allocated and personnel. Regarding the preventative methods, it was suggested that the law regarding computer-related crime itself should be amended, the budget should be appropriately allocated and lastly, personnel of all levels should be suitably trained.
