The FSB proposed to allow searches without a court decision
The FSB has prepared an instruction that will give the security forces the opportunity to conduct searches of houses, apartments and vehicles without a court order. The Parliamentary Newspaper drew attention to the document published on the portal of draft regulatory legal acts.
According to the document, a search without a court decision is allowed “in cases that brook no delay and may lead to the commission of a grave or especially grave crime.” Also, a search without judicial permission can take place if there is information about events and actions that “create a threat to the state, military, economic, information or environmental security” of Russia. The FSB will have to notify the court of the searches within 24 hours.
At the suggestion of the FSB, the security forces will be able to seize suspicious documents and materials, as well as items for which there is no permission to store, for example, unaccounted for and unregistered weapons, even if they are not related to the case in which the search is being carried out, writes Parlamentskaya Gazeta.
In addition, the security forces will not involve attesting witnesses if the search takes place “in hard-to-reach areas and (or) in the absence of proper means of communication,” or may threaten the health and life of people.
