Abstract

The article deals with the possibility of abuse by employees of preliminary investigation bodies in the course of investigative actions. The definitions of abuse of procedural powers are given and the applicability of this concept to actions carried out by the employees of the preliminary investigation bodies is confirmed. Some types of abuse are considered in the manufacture of such investigative actions as interrogation, presentation for identification, search and seizure. The authors propose ways to solve the problem of the abuse of powers by the employees of the preliminary investigation bodies in law enforcement practice, mainly by making appropriate changes to the criminal procedure legislation of the Russian Federation, and fixing new procedural safeguards to protect the rights and legitimate interests of participants in criminal proceedings. In particular,
the authors propose the introduction in the Code of Criminal Procedure of the rules on compulsory video shooting during the conduct of separate investigative actions, as well as reducing the possibilities for the investigator to make decisions on the conduct of investigative actions, guided solely by their own discretion.
