Problems of surface inspection as a police measure

Abstract

The execution of an administrative offense by the person to whom the superficial verification was carried out is the basis for administrative detention (articles 260, 262 of The Administrative Code). Conducting administrative detention is inextricably linked with the implementation of the inspection in accordance with the provisions of article 264 of The Administrative Code and as consequence — withdrawal of “things and documents being an instrument or direct object of an offense” (article 265 of The Administrative Code). At the same time, documenting the fact of seizure of things that could be the subject of a crime (firearms, narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances) within the framework of proceedings for administrative offenses is quite legal, as it is expressly provided for in The Administrative Code. In turn, this approach to ensuring the personal safety of the policeman and other people, as a whole, does not exclude the possibility of providing police with safety and inspection of any traces of an offense under article 237 of The Criminal Procedure Code
