This activity is analyzed in the context of one of the criminalistic categories — tactical operation. Tactical operations are suggested to solve problems concerning establishment of facts having evidential significance in criminal cases of any category. There is an opinion that such tactical operations are able to solve other problems, for instance to overcome some existing and projected counteraction to a criminal investigation, to reach a compromise between the prosecution and defense.
