Abstract

The article analyzes the tasks of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation and the practice of operational investigative activities in order to reveal the contradictions between them. The objective of the work is a comprehensive analysis of criminal legal means of countering crimes committed in the field of illicit drug trafficking, through the prism of the practice of their implementation in the activities of departments of internal affairs agencies in the implementation of operational search activities (ORD). To achieve this goal, the authors set the main tasks that follow from the peculiarities of the current practice of the ORD; specifically, identifying contradictions between the practice of the ORD and the task of preventing crimes in the field of drug trafficking specified in the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The use of the method of comparative analysis in conjunction with general scientific methods allowed us to confirm the hypothesis put forward by the authors that there are contradictions between the tasks of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation and the practice of the ORD in the realm of countering drug trafficking. In the course of the study there was an attempt to show the ineffectiveness of countering drug trafficking due to the imbalance between the norms of the current criminal legislation and the police practice in this area. The article also substantiates the need for a balanced relationship between the norms of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation and the practice of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation to improve the quality of comprehensive counteraction to this type of crime; necessary measures are suggested to be taken. The results of the study allow us to expand the knowledge of the science of operational-search activities, and contribute to improv the effectiveness of the operational departments of the internal affairs agencies related to countering illicit drug trafficking.
