The scope of cases where search or seizure can be carried out without a court order is being expanded.
Modern.az reports that an amendment to the Code of Criminal Procedure is proposed in this regard.
The draft amendment was brought up for discussion at today's meeting of the Legal Policy and State Building Committee of the Milli Majlis.
According to the document, in urgent cases, when the investigator has precise information giving reason to believe that an ICT system, its parts, carriers storing electronic data, or electronic data are being concealed or destroyed, indicating the commission of a crime against personality or state authority, or preparation for the commission of such a crime, search or seizure will be carried out without a court order.
Generally, when the evidence obtained or the materials of operational-search activity provide sufficient reason to believe that any ICT system, its parts, carriers storing electronic data, or electronic data contain information that may be of evidentiary value for the case, a search may be conducted in that system, its parts, carriers storing electronic data, and data on electronic carriers, and the ICT system, its parts, carriers storing electronic data, or electronic data may be seized, and a specialist will participate in the seizure of these means.
