Abstract. The current paper has considered the criminal policy of the country in relation to crimes in the field of road safety and concluded that since the number of road traffic crimes increases, the country tightens responsibility for their commission. This is especially true of transport crimes committed while intoxicated. It is impossible to protect transport security by criminal legal means without the use of other mean, such as administrative, civil, disciplinary, etc.

Vladimir Eg. Sudenko - Candidate of Law, docent, associate professor of the department ‘Criminal Law, Criminal Procedure and Criminalistics’ of the Law Institute of the Russian University of Transport (MIIT), honorary worker of higher education of the Russian Federation


Abstract. The current paper has considered the problems that arise when using the knowledge and skills of a specialist in the process of investigating crimes in general and transport crimes in particular. The importance of using the knowledge of a specialist in the investigation of crimes committed at transport infrastructure facilities has been determined by the high complexity of the transport structure of the national economy, quite a few specific features of the functioning of various sectors of transport, including rail, air, sea, waterways and underground. Investigations of transport crimes and other offenses on road transport are no less difficult. All this has determined the particular importance and the extreme necessity to use special knowledge of a very different nature related to the indicated modes of transport. For example, on railway transport they are the spheres of energy supply, electrical circuits, signaling and communications, locomotive and carriage facilities, track facilities, including turnouts and dead ends, bridges and tunnels, station structures, passenger platforms and many others. These features have determined not only the importance to apply special knowledge, but also their particular importance to establish the objective truth in the committed transport crime.

Valeriy L. Popov. Transport examination: problems of theory and practice

UDK: 343.148.6


Valeriy L. Popov - senior lecturer of the department ‘Criminal Law, Criminal Procedure and Criminalistics’ of the Law Institute of the Russian University of Transport


Abstract. Judicial practice shows that the successful investigation of most criminal cases today is impossible without the use of forensic examination, which, due to nowaday advances in scientific and technical means and methods, is the most effective way to apply special knowledge that has evidentiary value in criminal proceedings. There are crimes where it is impossible to do without forensic examination. This kind of criminal cases include crimes that violate traffic safety and the operation of transport, provided for in Ch. 27 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. At the same time, with the modern development of forensic examination in the governmental forensic institutions there were no and there are still no forensic specialists to support the investigation of railway, air, maritime and water transport. At the same time, such examinations are carried out on a paid basis by non-governmental non-profit forensic organizations, without appropriate forensic t qualifications and without clearly established methods and methods of their production. As a result, there is no objectivity, completeness and reliability of the conducted examination, since it conflicts with the theoretical and methodological foundations of forensic examination. To understand this, there have been studied the reasons for the existing forensic practice in the transport block and there have been proposed the measures within the framework of the Law Institute of the Russian University of Transport that can and should move the solution to this problem in a positive direction.

The current paper has considered the features of inspection and fixation of damage to vehicles by car owners without calling the traffic police to the scene, and also analyzed Art. 11.1 of the Federal Law "On Compulsory Insurance of Civil Liability of Vehicle Owners".
