Abstract

Abstract: the article deals with the legal status of electronic messages transmitted via cellular communications and the Internet, as well as the procedure for access to them by law enforcement agencies established by the legislation of the Russian Federation. Analyzing the current law enforcement practice related to the seizure of electronic carriers during investigative actions, the author draws attention to the fact that the subsequent examination of correspondence in electronic carriers usually is carried out without the permission of the court. At the same time, the author comes to the conclusion that this practice does not always take into account the provisions of the legislation concerning the legal regime that ensures the right to secrecy of correspondence, telephone conversations, postal, telegraph and other messages.
