Evolution of legislation on administrative responsibility in the post-Soviet space
The relevance: 35 years after the first codification of the Russian legislation on administrative responsibility, it is again subjected to the third conceptual reform. This historical moment is due to the need to improve the administrative and legal norms establishing responsibility for the violation of administrative and legal prohibitions (regulations, permits) established by the state taking into account the newly emerging social demands of modern society. Significant factors that reduce the effectiveness of existing administrative regulations are the accumulated problems in the law enforcement activities of internal Affairs bodies over the past years. First of all, they are associated with the presence of unusual administrative and procedural powers. The purpose of the study: to understand the essence of the evolution of legislation on administra- tive responsibility in the post-Soviet space, taking into account the Genesis of administrative and procedural powers of officials of internal Affairs bodies; to identify rudimentary powers in the field of implementation of proceedings in cases of administrative offenses. The methods: the study used General scientific methods: analysis, synthesis, deduction, induction, which allowed to conduct a comparative legal analysis of administrative law. The conclusions: the study concludes that it is expedient to clarify the administrative and procedural competence of the internal Affairs bodies of the Russian Federation in the field of drawing up protocols and making decisions in cases of administrative offenses. Excessive administrative and procedural functionality of police officials duplicates the competence of other subjects of law enforcement.
