In recent criminal cases, information storage media such as computers and smartphones, as well as servers connected to them through networks, are frequently searched and seized. In particular, unlike in the past, among various information storage media, smartphones are essential in our daily lives, and the information contained in smartphones is so vast that it includes the entire lives of smartphone users, so they are usually confiscated when investigative agencies conduct seizures and searches. Seizure and search of the smartphone of the search subject is mandatory. In this situation, the introduction of a prior interrogation system in relation to the issuance of seizure and search warrants by judges is sometimes advocated as a way to control seizure and search by investigative agencies. In other words, it is necessary to introduce prior examination of seizure and search warrants based on the warrant principle that plays the role of preventive control, fairness, and strengthening the self-censorship function of investigative agencies. On the other hand, it is pointed out that it runs counter to the secrecy of the investigation, causes delays in the investigation, violates the principle of separation of powers by the judiciary's investigative authority, and requires a basis in law rather than the Supreme Court rules, and pre-interrogation of seizure and search warrants. Some also oppose the introduction of the system. Recently, as the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court revealed his position on the introduction of the above system, discussions on the pros and cons are rising to the surface again. Seizure and search warrants are a traditional method of compulsory investigation, but are mainly used in the initial stage of a case, and considering that they are the main means of obtaining electronic information stored in smartphones, which have become the main object of seizure and search with the changes of the times due to the development of science and technology, seizure and search warrants are a traditional method of compulsory investigation. It appears that the search warrant pre-interrogation system needs to be reviewed. The principles of substantive truth, proper procedure, and speedy trial, which are the ideology and objective principles of criminal litigation, are in a tension relationship, but harmony must be pursued in that they all function as the objective principles of criminal litigation. The basic purpose of criminal litigation is to determine the truth of the case, clarify all criminal charges, establish the presence or absence of a crime, and secure the substantive legitimacy of the judgment for the proper application of criminal law. The approach to whether to introduce an arbitrary judicial pre-examination system related to search and seizure warrants should not deviate from this general principle. And since such a criminal system inevitably affects the basic rights of not only the suspect or defendant involved in the case, but also all citizens, such as witnesses and victims, constitutional basics such as the nature of seizure and search, the principle of separation of powers, and matters reserved to the National Assembly, etc. When considering the principles together, more caution should be taken in introducing this system.
