SUMMARY

In the context of computer forensics, computer is merely the one of the devices that can be used to commit IT crime. Nowadays, there is an increase related to IT crimes committed consciously or unconsciously. In addition, cyber crimes can be committed through a variety of electronic devices. In related to this matter, there are some legal regulations in both Turkish Penal Code and Law of Criminal Procedure.In the globalizing world, together with expansion of use of Internet quickly, uncontrolled and unconsciously, dimension of IT crimes have become beyond the country’s border and cooperation with each of the countries to struggle with this issue has become compulsory. Indeed, as investigation are getting deeper, a computer crime that seems to have been commited in a country through misleading IP addresses can be observed that this crime actually had been committed in an another country.In an investigation or prosecution phase of a committed cyber crime, searching on the computer, copying data of the computer and even seizing the computer as an evidence of a crime may be required.In societies using Information systems so intense; making more specific regulations regarding how incident response of cyber crimes and other crimes committed by means of information systems, investigation and prosecution should be done will ensure more effective results in the fight against these crimes.The main purpose of this study, to expose the legal arrangements about search, copy and seizure on the computers in the Turkish legal system, to express encountered problems in practice and to reccomend some solutions related to these. ÖzetAdli bilisim baglaminda bilgisayar, bilisim suçu islemede kullanilabilecek aygitlardan sadece birisidir. Günümüzde bilisim suçlarinin bilinçli ya da bilinçsiz olarak islenmeleri ile ilgili göze çarpan bir artis söz konusudur.  Ayrica bilisim suçlari çesitli elektronik aletler vasitasiyla islenebilmektedir. Bu konuyla ilgili olarak gerek TCK’da gerek Ceza Muhakemeleri Kanununda bazi yasal düzenlemeler yer almaktadir.Globallesen dünyada Internet kullaniminin hizla, kontrolsüz ve bilinçsiz bir sekilde yayilmasiyla birlikte bilisim suçlarinin boyutlari ülke sinirlarini asar hale gelmis ve bilisim suçlari ile mücadele edebilmek için ülkelerin birbirleriyle isbirligi yapmalari zorunlu hale gelmistir. Zira, yaniltici IP adresleri vasitasiyla bir ülkede islenmis gibi gözüken bir bilisim suçunun arastirmalar derinlestikçe aslinda o ülkede degil baska ülkede ya da ülkelerde yer alan sunucular vasitasiyla islenebildigi gözlemlenmektedir.                                                                           Islenen bir bilisim suçunun sorusturmasi ya da kovusturma asamasinda bilgisayarlar üzerinde arama yapilmasi, bilgisayar üzerindeki verilerin birebir kopyalanmasi ve hatta suç delili olarak bu bilgisayarlara el konulmasi gerekebilir. Bilgi sistemlerini bu kadar yogun kullanan toplumlarda, bilisim suçlarina ve bilisim sistemleri vasitasiyla islenen diger suçlara müdahale, sorusturma ve kovusturma’nin nasil yapilmasi gerektigine iliskin daha özel yasal düzenlemelerin yapilmasi bu suçlarla mücadelede daha etkili sonuçlarin alinmasini saglayacaktir.Çalismanin temel amaci, Türk hukuk sisteminde bilgisayarlarda arama, kopyalama ve el koymaya ait yasal düzenlemelerin ortaya konulmasi, uygulamada karsilasilan aksakliklarin dile getirilerek bunlara iliskin çözümlerin önerilmesidir.
