Abstract
The article presents the results of scientific, practical and legal analysis of modern problems of using digital technologies in law enforcement activities. Special attention is paid to substantiating the thesis that law enforcement, law enforcement, legal support, consulting and judicial activities conducted in digital format are already an established and widely used phenomenon; the main thing is to adapt the public perception of this fact, create the necessary conditions for information security in law enforcement activities as a significant direction of state policy in the field of protecting the rights, freedoms and legitimate interests of citizens and legal entities. The article substantiates the thesis that the introduction of electronic services can significantly modernize the judicial process at all its stages, without exception, to ensure the possibility of unhindered and less costly in financial and time terms to apply for protection of a violated or disputed right, as well as the safety of participants in court proceedings. It is alleged that, among other positive things, the filing of documents in electronic form, remote participation in the judicial process through the use of video conferencing or web conferencing, the use of other information-telecommunication network "Internet" automatic logging significantly reduce the burden of organizational and technical plan (personal reception of citizens and representatives of legal entities by the judges, the management of expectations of personal acceptance, especially in the context of the epidemic COVID-19, document control, maintaining court records, challenge and invitation of participants of the proceedings, etc.). It is pointed out that the use of information technologies in court proceedings facilitates the process of information exchange by courts with each other or with other law enforcement and regulatory authorities. At the same time, this application does not negate the importance of the human factor, since no technology, even the most advanced, can replace a judge who must evaluate evidence based on internal conviction, guided by law and conscience, and also pass a sentence that meets the requirements of legality, validity and justice. In order to ensure the security of the protected person under a pseudonym during his interrogation in court, a special mobile complex "Voice Changers" will be sufficiently used, which allows recording the testimony of the interrogated person in video conferencing mode. The result of the study was a set of conclusions and recommendations developed by the authors of the scientific and practical plan aimed at expanding the prospects for using digital technologies in judicial activities.
