Actual problems of legal regulation of exemption from administrative responsibility
This study analyzed the existing problems in the legal regulation of the institution of exemption from administrative responsibility. The concept of insignificance of an act is considered from the point of view of judicial practice, as well as scientific literature. In conclusion, the author’s options for resolving the existing problems on this issue are proposed. Exemption from legal liability, including administrative liability, should be carried out in exceptional cases provided for by law. In practice, acts are committed that outwardly resemble offenses, but due to some peculiarities, the imposition of punishment for such actions (inaction) would be unfair, which directly contradicts the general principles of the institution of legal responsibility. Each case of exemption from liability should be individualized: it is not worth referring by default to the established practice of resolving similar cases. Law enforcement officers should consider all the circumstances of the offense and, based on the available data, formulate their opinion on the need to bear adverse consequences by the guilty person.
