Problems of using the results of administrative activities by the bodies of inquiry in cases of fires

This article discusses the problem of using the results of administrative activities by the fire investigation authorities. This problem has been little studied and requires further research, despite the fact that the issue of using non-procedural information has been repeatedly investigated by process scientists. The article clarifies the features of the use of administrative records management materials at the stage of initiation of a criminal case and the stage of preliminary investigation. The author provides an analysis of the views of scientists who have studied this problem. This paper examines the characteristic features of evidence necessary for the processualization of the above materials. Considerable attention is paid to the problem of using the results of administrative activities by the bodies of inquiry in cases of fires during pre-investigation checks and, in particular, at the stage of preliminary investigation. In the conclusion of this study, the author draws conclusions about the possibility of using materials from the administrative activities of State fire supervision authorities in the investigation of fire cases, as material evidence and other documents, subject to their verification by investigative actions. In addition, the author proposed amendments to the Criminal Procedure Law, eliminating the conditions that prevent the recognition of materials of administrative activity as evidence of reliability and admissibility. These proposals make both scientific and practical contributions to the development of the domestic criminal process.
