Abstract

The study is novel due to the comprehensive approach to the research in terms of forensics, the theory of investigative activities, the bases for the use of covert means and criminal law as well as the development of proposals to improve the criminal law of the Russian Federation in terms under consideration based on the research. Purpose of the study: evaluation of the effectiveness of legal regulation of trafficking of covert means intended for covert information acquisition. Objectives: to develop a unified approach to the criteria for attributing objects to the category of covert means intended for surreptitious information acquisition, addressing the problems of classification of illegal trafficking in such means. Methods: dialectical method of scientific understanding, as well as general scientific methods: logical, hermeneutical, comparative law research. As a result of the study, the authors conclude that there is a need to develop a unified approach to the criteria for classifying certain objects as covert means intended for surreptitious information acquisition, their essential features and to enshrine it at the statutory level, as well as the need for a clearer clarification of the terms "production", "acquisition" and "sale" in the current resolution of the plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation.
