THE PROBLEMS OF USING VIDEO RECORDINGS IN THE PRODUCTION OF INVESTIGATIVE ACTIONS INVOLVING MINORS

Abstract

The relevance of considering the problems of using video recordings in the production of investigative actions with the participation of minors is due to the fact that the procedural regulation of interrogation, confrontation, identification and verification of testimony with the participation of a minor presupposes the right of the participants in the process to refuse to videotape the investigative action. The purpose of the article is to analyze the legal regulation of the procedural procedure for the use of video recordings in the production of investigative actions involving minors. The result of the article: in order to improve the practice of applying Part 5 of Article 191 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation, and to ensure the achievement of the purpose of criminal proceedings, it is necessary to modernize the commented provision by limiting the rights of participants to object to videotaping only in the production of a certain category of criminal cases. The principle of publicity in the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation, which provides for categories of cases in which the court session is closed, may correspond to this rule.
