The right of information privacy and the freedom of assembly and parade have been considered as indispensable fundamental rights of the Constitution: people have the right to decide whether or not to disclose their personal information, and also the right to know and control how their personal information will be used. In addition, people can express opinions and advocate ideas by means of assembly and parade. Nevertheless, State may impose appropriate restrictions on above rights by enacting unambiguous law. As stated in Act. 9 of Police Power Exercise Act, based on public interest, police has the power to collect participants' data during assemblies and parades. This compelled data collection behavior not only invades self-control right of personal information but also causes "chilling effect" while exercising the freedom of assembly and parade. Therefore, how to achieve a proper balance between State's data collection behavior in assembly and parade, and personal data protection through the elem ents of regulation is a challenge. German Federal Constitutional Court made a decision on February 17, 2009, about whether Bavarian Assembly Act conflicts with the German Basic Law (1 BvR 2492/08). It states that the application for a temporary injunction in the matter of the Bavarian Assembly Act succeeds in part. One of the reasons is that Bavarian Assembly Act expands the limit of data collection by authority was considered as discordance with the information determination right that is protected by German Basic Laws. The Court further made an excellent discussion over the boundaries of personal data collection in assembly and parade by State powers, which has great reference value. This article will use this case as a model to reflect what constitutional boundaries police should abide by when collecting personal data in assembly and parade, and the subsequent process of these data, expecting to serve as the model of future relevant researches and legal system developments of Taiwan. |
