Analysis by the Prosecutor of the Protocol of Inspection of the Scene of the Incident in Criminal Cases on Illegal Catch of Aquatic Biological Resources

Taking into account the importance for the criminal case of such an investigative action as a protocol for examining the scene and the significant difficulties that investigators (interrogators) experience during the investigation of illegal extraction (catch) of aquatic biological resources, the author analyzed the most common mistakes in drawing up a protocol for examining the scene. Based on the results of this analysis, it is proposed to systematize errors by classifying both by subject matter and by the object of study in which the error was made. In addition, it is proposed to separately group formal errors in the preparation of a protocol for examining the scene of an incident, made by the preliminary investigation bodies in criminal cases on illegal extraction (catch) of aquatic biological resources.
