Abstract
<jats:p>From the perspective of the justification of criminal-legal provision of operational- search activities and the legal modeling of relevant norms, the study of the international experience provides methodological support. The purpose of this article is to examine the relevant regulations found in international/supranational legal acts and the criminal legislation of other countries, aimed at criminal-legal provision of operational-search activities. In this context, we have considered it purposeful to make the subject of research the experience of law-making and law-enforcement activities of authorizing norms providing operational-search activities and the directions of criminalization of publicly dangerous acts that encroach on objects under criminal-legal protection during operational-search activities. To achieve the stated objective, the following main tasks have been formulated: • Study of international/supranational legal acts, aimed at criminal-legal provision of operational-search activities. • Study of legal regulations of the USA, aimed at criminal-legal provision of operational-search activities, • Study of legal regulations of the states with a continental legal system, aimed at criminal-legal provision of operational-search activities. • Implementation of necessary conclusions based on the results of the conducted research. The subject of the research has been examined using general (universal) and specific scientific methods, such as dogmatic, comparative legal, logical analysis, and legal modeling methods. As a result of the conducted research, a number of conclusions have been made, which provide an understanding of the current general state of the criminal-legal regulation of operational-search activities, as well as allow for the comprehension of its development tendencies, thereby outlining the prospects for the modernization of domestic legislative regulations and legal modeling.</jats:p>
