Abstract

It is stated that the police legislation regulates the procedure of police officers’ entry to the premises, vehicles and the territory, which allows to partly solve detective tasks. Such entry is considered as using measures of state constraint, but detective entry is rarely connected with open entry or coercive entry (it is implemented with encoded aim or secretly). It is argued that operative law enforcement officers have the right to enter dwellings and other premises, buildings, facilities, grounds and vehicles only by approbation of their owners and residents. When it is impossible to obtain approbation, judicial decision is required (irrespective of open or secret entry). In the cases brooking no delay provided in Section 3 of the Article 8 of the Federal law “On the detective activity” entry is possible without judicial decision which should be obtained during 48 hours. When entering dwellings against the will of people (representatives of legal persons), this action should be executed according to the Order of the MIA of Russia N 199 of April, 1, 2014. The norms of the Article 15 of the Federal law “On the police” can be implemented as providing realization of the provisions of the detective legislation in all the cases of police entry without legal owners’ approbation. It is proposed to fix the specific right of operative officers to enter objects, territories and vehicles as well as the procedure of its realization in the Federal law “On the detective activity”.

Keywords
