Application of Video Recording of the Interrogation of Minors Suspected (Defended)
The peculiarities of the organization of the use of video shooting during the interrogation of underage suspects (accused) are considered. Problems that arise in practice when using technical means when conducting investigative actions with the participation of minors are highlighted: lack of skills in handling technical means, insufficient number of technical means themselves, emotional stress when conducting video shooting, fear of making technical errors. The text of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation is subject to special analysis in relation to the use of technical means in conducting investigative actions. The feasibility of introducing the mandatory use of video footage during the interrogation of underage suspects (accused) is justified, as well as the addition of Art. 425 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation part 7 with the mandatory requirement to use video recording during the interrogation with the participation of a minor suspect (accused). Practical recommendations are made on the preparation for the interrogation of juvenile suspects (accused), the tactics of using technical means of video recording, as well as the recording and storage of evidence in the criminal case file.
