Electronic Monitoring, a Modern Measure of Surveillance of Persons Investigated and/or Convicted in Criminal Cases

Abstract

In the Official Monitor no. 515 of 18.05.2021 Law no. 146 of 17.05.2021 was published, regulating electronic monitoring in the framework of criminal judicial and executive proceedings. The law came to cover an area that still raises challenges at this moment, that of electronic monitoring. We say this in the context in which the law actually specifies as a pilot implementation term, in certain geographical areas, the date of 31.12.2025. The law was amended and completed including in the year 2024 by law no. 214/ 05.07.2024. The regulatory act provides the legal framework with which, concretely, electronic monitoring started. but this must also be viewed in the context of law no. 26/2024 regarding the order of protection, as a form of modern protection of the victims of violence, regardless of the forms of manifestation.
