警察蒐集與利用個人資料職權之研究─以警察職權行使法第十七條為中心
許義寶
中文摘要
警察職權行使法(簡稱警職法)第17 條規定:「警察對於
依本法規定所蒐集資料之利用,應於法令職掌之必要範圍內為
之,並須與蒐集之特定目的相符。但法律有特別規定者,不在此
限。」另隱私權雖非憲法明文列舉之權利,惟基於人性尊嚴與個
人主體性之維護及人格發展之完整,並為保障個人生活私密領域
免於他人侵擾及個人資料之自主控制,隱私權乃為不可或缺之基
本權利。
警察之任務職責,在於防止危害及預防與偵查犯罪。警察之
資料蒐集行動,有基於防止危害或基於對犯罪行為之預防性的抗
制。所謂危害,是指一事實狀態或一行為,若不及時加以阻止,足以對公共安全或公共秩序產生損害之虞者稱之。行政機關蒐
集、處理或利用個人資料,需要有「特定目的」。所謂的「特定
目的」?依經濟合作暨發展組織(OECD)所揭示之「目的明確
化原則」及「限制利用原則」,個人資料於蒐集時其目的即應明
確化,其後的利用亦應與蒐集目的相符合,於目的變更後亦應明
確化,個人資料的利用,除符合法定要件外,不得為特定目的以
外的利用。
本文擬探討警察蒐集與利用個人資料之相關法律問題,並以
警察職權行使法第十七條規定為中心。有關警察蒐集個人資料之
利用,須與警察職務有關及符合原來蒐集之目的。除非有符合個
資法之規定,得以為原來目的外之利用。另本文引介個人資料保
護法之相關規範,及分析行政法院之相關判決,以作為討論之基
礎。

Article 17 of the police power law states that: “The use of personal
data collected by the police, should be within the necessary scope of the
statutory authority, and it must be consistent with the specific purpose of

Constitution. For the protection of human dignity and individual
subjectivity, and the integrity of personality development, in order to
protect personal privacy from being intruded by others and to control
personal data, privacy is an essential basic right.
