Foreign jurisdictions experience in the use of digital evidence in administrative proceedings
Abstract and keywords
Abstract:
Introduction. The article examines the experience of foreign jurisdictions in the use of digital evidence in administrative proceedings. It analyses the legal frameworks, practical aspects and challenges associated with the use of digital data as evidence in the consideration of cases of administrative offences. Particular attention is paid to the problems of ensuring the reliability, integrity and admissibility of digital evidence, as well as ways to ensure a fair and effective administrative process in both national and foreign jurisdictions. Methodology. The collection, generalisation, systematisation, comparative analysis of theoretical material and regulatory legal acts, survey and description of its results allowed for a comprehensive approach to scientific research and the achievement of the set goal. Based on the results of the study, an interim conclusion was formulated that digital data used as a new type of evidence is a transnational phenomenon with similar features in the law enforcement practice of foreign jurisdictions, requiring not only the establishment of separate legal regulation, but also the improvement of the procedural order of its circulation. Based on existing international experience and taking into account the peculiarities of domestic administrative law, the author’s approach to the stages of procedural work with digital data used as evidence in administrative offences proceedings is proposed. When leading specialists and experts in the field of administrative law and procedure were surveyed on the effectiveness of potential legislative amendments, the overwhelming majority of respondents expressed the need to codify the procedural stages of working with digital evidence in the Code of the Russian Federation on Administrative Offences. At the same time, respondents found it difficult to answer the question about the form of possible regulatory consolidation of this initiative, which leaves room for further scientific discussion and development of the stated research topic.
