Resumo

A pandemia de Covid-19 acelerou os avanços tecnológicos dentro do sistema de justiça criminal da Polônia, especialmente por meio da integração de ferramentas de comunicação remota para os procedimentos legais. Este artigo analisa a introdução e o impacto das audiências virtuais, incluindo aquelas para prisão cautelar, propondo a expansão das audiências remotas para além dos casos em que o réu está sob custódia. Destacam-se as limitações do arcabouço legal existente, como o contato telefônico condicional entre um réu e seu advogado de defesa, que viola o direito à defesa devido à falta de confidencialidade e efetividade na assistência legal. Além disso, o trabalho discute os benefícios potenciais da digitalização dos arquivos dos processos criminais, incluindo melhoria da eficiência, acessibilidade e garantia do princípio do julgamento justo. Apesar de possíveis desvantagens como exclusão digital e preocupações com segurança, propõe-se a implementação de um sistema digital unificado em todos os tribunais para facilitar a troca de dados e otimizar os procedimentos. Adicionalmente, este artigo aborda as limitações da substituição de intérpretes humanos por software de tradução automatizada em processos penais, enfatizando a necessidade de supervisão humana para garantir o julgamento justo. O estudo sugere uma abordagem híbrida para tradução que combina tradução automática com verificação humana, estabelecendo paralelos com as disposições do GDPR para intervenção humana em processos de tomada de decisão automatizados.
