DIFFERENTIATION OF SOURCES OF INFORMATION IN ELECTRONIC AND DIGITAL FORM IN CRIMINAL PROCEDURES

This scientific article examines the sources of information available in the criminal procedure legislation in electronic and digital form, which, after their study, can be recognized as evidence in a criminal case.

It is mentioned that in the current legislation there are two categories of sources of information in electronic and digital form, which include electronic documents and information on electronic media. It is pointed out that there is no clear regulation and criteria for attributing each of them to one or another source of evidence available in criminal procedure legislation.

In this regard, it is pointed out that it is necessary to form in theory and in law enforcement practice uniform criteria for classifying an «electronic document» to documents, and unreliable electronic digital data to physical evidence through paragraph 5 of Article 120 of the CPC of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
