Abstract

For ensuring the constitutional right for confidence of phone and other talks there is a special article in the Criminal procedure code covering control and recording of talks during preliminary investigation. It is the only investigation activity admissible only in such criminal matters as felony, and in case of necessary background. This investigation activity is impossible in cases of misdemeanor. Because of this, in every case of controlling and recording talks an investigator must issue a written order to realize this action technically. The article explains what control and recording talks means, defines their legal foundations and technical conditions.
