CONCERNING SOME PRINCIPLES REGULATING THE OPERATIVE DETECTIVE ACTIVITIES IN WORKING WITH PERSONS PROVIDING TACIT ASSISTANCE
The article presents the judgments of scientists about the principles on which the operative detective activity is based in terms of working with persons who provide covert assistance to operational units in the framework of the fight against criminal manifestations. The interpretation of approaches to the concept and content of special principles is considered, their types are given. It is noted that scientific research in operative detective activities is aimed primarily at improving the legal regulation of operative detective legislation, bypassing important fundamental criteria in the form of general principles. Basing the reasoning on the understanding of the special specific function of operative detective activity, it is clarified that the general principles must be expanded and consolidated in the federal law on operative detective activity, and special principles should be reflected in the departmental legislation, in particular, paying attention to those that directly relate to persons providing tacit assistance to operational units. Within the framework of this article, a number of principles have been proposed on which this activity should be based. Based on the analysis of the conceptual and substantive approach to the principles, the authors of the article formulate their scientific and applied approach to the discussed categories, and as their contribution to science, they supplement them with their new principle.
