STATE CONTROL IN THE DIGITAL ENVIRONMENT OF CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS

Abstract

The essence of state control in the sphere of criminal proceedings in the conditions of
digitalization is revealed. The problems of prosecutor's supervision, departmental and judicial control
over the application of digital technologies in criminal proceedings are considered. The author argues
that the digital environment of criminal proceedings should contribute to the preservation of perceptions of fairness in the administration of justice and the established order of the state structure. Departmental control is designed to ensure not only compliance with the requirements of the law, but also organizational and technical issues of crime investigation. Prosecutor's supervision is defined as a
means to verify the legality of decisions taken, including the result of consideration of received electronic applications, complaints and petitions in electronic form. The article expresses the author's position on the role and importance of judicial control in digital criminal proceedings. The meaning of
the trial and the accusatory bias in terms of maintaining stability and law and order in the country are
seen in a different way.
