LEGAL FOUNDATIONS AND PROBLEMS OF IMPLEMENTING INFORMATION INQUIRIES IN OPERATIONAL-SEARCH ACTIVITIES

The article provides a comprehensive theoretical and legal analysis of information inquiries as one of the key operational-search measures widely used in the activities of operational units. The relevance of the study is due to the transformation of the criminal environment, the active digitalization of social relations, the expansion of the volume of processed information, as well as the need to ensure a balance between the effectiveness of operational-search activities and the observance of constitutional rights and freedoms of individuals and citizens.

Based on the results of the study, proposals are formulated to improve the legislation on operational-search activities, including the establishment of a mechanism for authorizing requests involving the provision of confidential information, as well as clarifying the content of information inquiries in the context of the digitalization of operational-search activities. The article concludes that it is advisable to normatively expand this operational-search measure while simultaneously strengthening judicial and departmental control over its implementation.
