ON THE MISMATCH BETWEEN THE CONTENT OF INVESTIGATIVE ACTIVITIES AND THEIR DESIGNATIONS
The article is devoted to the issues of the legal regulation of investigative activities in the situation, in which we face an objective need for serious editing normative legal acts in this sphere. The author pays special attention to the fact that the Police Operation Act was adopted in 1995 and the concepts of investigative activities, given in this law in terms of their legal names, do not correspond to the actual content, practice of broad interpretation, as well as the provisions of regulatory legal acts of other branches of law. This hinders the correct interpretation and understanding of their meanings from the point of view of the rights and freedoms of an individual and a citizen, the achievement of goals and decisions of the tasks of investigative activities to protect the interests of a society and a state, as well as the possibility of legal protection of the interests of the Russian Federation in the European Court of Human Rights. Thus, this situation also affects the effectiveness of the implementation of the law and the effectiveness of investigative activities as a whole. The article points out investigative activities measures that need the clarification of their definition, and suggest their actual names, accompanied by arguments of authors'' positions and references to other legal acts of the domestic legal system.
