ORGANIZATION OF PORTRAIT EXPERTISE IN THE DIGITAL SPHERE

Abstract

Digital space and Informatization penetrate various layers of social life. Experts use a wide range of information in their professional activities, but many expert methods are still based on a sensory-rational methodological basis. In the fi eld of legal proceedings, information is considered in a broad aspect, it acts as an object of encroachment, a means of committing off enses, information about the incident and suspected persons. For the expert, the main sources of information are data (information) obtained in accordance with the established regulations. By analogy with the procedural regulations, when presenting material evidence, the investigator sends the expert a material carrier with information that must fi rst be extracted from the carrier itself, and then conduct a study and analysis to determine the potential for solving expert problems. To some extent, the procedural rules can ensure the reliability of the material carrier, but it is diffi cult to guarantee that the information contained on it was not subjected to deliberate or accidental distortion. The article proposes to consider separate organizational approaches to improving methodological recommendations for working with electronic portrait images and focuses on legal and technological support for the reliability of information presented in digital form. It is no exaggeration to say that the challenges associated with the spread of computer technologies give a new dimension to the development of forensic science. Today, a space of fundamentally new opportunities opens, the use of which will largely allow us to reformat research methods.
