Abstract
The article deals with the problems of providing qualified legal assistance to principals during operational search activities. The impossibility of ensuring the legal participation of a lawyer in carrying out covert operational search activities leads to the use of self-defense and subsequent recourse to a lawyer for assistance in protecting the violated rights of the principal. Among the main ways to assist a lawyer in protecting rights during operational search activities, appeals and reclamation are provided.
The purpose of this study is to substantiate the need for further improvement of the procedure for providing qualified legal assistance to principals during operational investigative measures. Research objectives: conducting a comprehensive study of regulatory legal regulation and the emerging practice of providing qualified legal assistance by a lawyer in the course of operational investigative activities through not only personal participation in public operational investigative activities, but also the use of mechanisms for appealing and reclaiming information in the interests of the principal.
The results of the study were a set of new theoretical provisions that expand scientific ideas about the provision of qualified legal assistance to principals through the participation of a lawyer in public operational search activities. The opinion is also put forward and justified that the improvement of the procedure for providing qualified legal assistance to principals during non-public operational search activities, where the legal participation of a lawyer is objectively impossible, should be carried out using mechanisms for appealing actions and decisions that violate the rights and freedoms of citizens, as well as requesting information in the interests of the principal.
