Тhe article deals with modern problems of storage of physical evidence in criminal cases. The lack of proper legal regulation in the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation gave rise to many questions and discrepancies in law enforcement practice. An integral feature of the storage of physical evidence is the adoption of procedural measures for their physical preservation, as well as for ensuring the safety of the properties and features of an object (document) that form its procedural status. Accordingly, actions that do not have this feature should not be covered by the concept of storage of physical evidence. The storage of physical evidence with the materials of a criminal case is unreliable. As a result of the analysis of law enforcement practice, not isolated cases were identified when material evidence stored with the materials of the criminal case was lost. It is necessary to legally establish such a method of storing physical evidence as storing them in specially designated cells and establish the procedure for such storage and transfer for storage precisely in the provisions of the criminal procedure legislation. We consider it more correct to regulate the rules for storing material evidence in the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation, namely in criminal cases, which, ultimately, will affect the establishment of a uniform understanding and practical application of the rules for storing material evidence. Also, due attention should be paid to large-sized property, explosives and explosive devices, fuels and lubricants, valuables and vehicles. In preparing the article, the methods of comparative legal, logical and legal research, the dialectical method of cognition of social and legal reality were used.
