Japan introduced the remote access investigation in 2011 to provide for necessary domestic legislation in adopting the Convention on Cybercrime. Since the remote access investigation is supposed to be conducted at the exact moment of search and seizure, it is unclear whether the same investigation may be conducted later. Additionally, if the subjects of this investigation are present in foreign countries, it is also unclear whether law enforcement may remotely access those subjects without permission of the given countries, or whether courts may allow evidence seized by such investigation. Therefore, this article discusses the remote access investigation and recent judgments related to these issues.
