Inspection in Electronic Crimes in Jordanian And Egyptian Law

Abstract

The distinguishing feature of cybercrime is that it occurs in a digital environment that is entirely different from the traditional setting in which crimes are committed. Criminal procedure law was originally designed to be applied in the physical world. The issue arises as to the adequacy of traditional procedural rules for the application of digital forensics. The phenomenon of cybercrimes has posed a multitude of procedural challenges and difficulties due to the non-material nature of the means used. There is difficulty in conducting electronic inspections, both directly and remotely, as these crimes take place in a virtual realm and do not leave tangible material traces.
