Abstract
Investigative model of investigation of crimes and the system of investigative actions morally and materially outdated in modern conditions. Cybercrime, as an element of the digital world, dictates the transition to a new legal model of criminal procedural activity. The existing system of investigative actions can be replaced with one universal investigative action – obtaining digital information. The subject of carrying out this action can be both a competent state body and any person, but also a robot. In general, the function of preliminary investigation can be technologized and deformed, that is, it lacks a procedural, and even more so – investigative, shell. Only at the stage of submission to the court, digital information received by any entity, by any means, should become an element of the legal system – accusations or protection and thereby obtain legal status. The Prosecutor or the defender has the right to choose the form and method of presenting
information received in order to exclude reasonable doubts about its authenticity and usefulness.
