REVIEW OF THE MONOGRAPH BY V.A. GUSEV, V.F. LUGOVIK “THEORY OF OPERATIONAL SEARCH PROCEDURES”

Abstract

Introduction. The peer-reviewed monograph is devoted to the theory of operational search procedures. The needs of practice in the system of legal regulation of procedural and procedural issues of operational and investigative activities are not adequately reflected, which leads to the lack of an adequate theoretical basis that could become the foundation of future legislative changes. The presence of a complex set of unresolved problems arising in the adoption and implementation of decisions by officials of the bodies carrying out the operative-investigative activity and their implementation of operational and investigative actions form an urgent need to create an effective system of legal procedures in the operative-investigative activity. The authors analyzed the main sections of the work, gave a brief description of them, as well as highlighted the most interesting and informative provisions that reflect the actual issues of operational search activities. In addition, wishes were expressed to the authors of the monograph. Scientists have studied such issues as: theoretical-methodological bases of legal procedures in the operational-search activities; legal procedures in order to ensure the rights and freedoms of man and citizen when implementing operational search activities; the legal procedures for operational-investigative activities; legal procedures for realization of rights of the bodies implementing operative investigative activities; legal procedures for investigation of production; legal procedures for the use of operative-investigative activity results in criminal, arbitration proceedings, the powers of tax authorities, when making administrative and managerial decisions; legal procedures for the implementation of prosecutorial supervision over execution of laws in the operational-search activity. Conclusion. The reviewed work, of course, is a new, and very informative page in the theory of domestic jurisprudence, and the proposal for the introduction of the Operational-investigative code is extremely relevant, it requires support and early practical implementation.
