The scope of cases in which search or seizure can be carried out without a court order is being expanded.
According to Modern.az, the issue is reflected in the amendment to the Code of Criminal Procedure, which was discussed at today's plenary session of the Milli Majlis.
It is stated that, in urgent cases, if the investigator has precise information giving reason to believe that an ICT system, its parts, carriers storing electronic data, or electronic data, which indicate the commission of a crime against personality or state authority or preparation for such a crime, are being concealed or destroyed, search or seizure will be carried out without a court order.
When the obtained evidence or materials from operational-investigative activities provide sufficient grounds to believe that there is information in any ICT system, its parts, carriers storing electronic data, or electronic data that may be of evidentiary value for the case, a search can 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 can be seized, and a specialist will participate in the seizure of these means.
The issue was put to a vote and adopted in the first reading
