SOME PARTICULARITIES OF THE PROCEDURAL SEIZURE OF CARRIERS OF ELECTRONIC (DIGITAL) INFORMATION
Abstract
The paper demonstrates that the modern understanding of the procedural seizure of electronic data carriers must take into account not only the formal requirements of criminal procedural law, but also the technical realities of the digital environment, including the high vulnerability of data to manipulation and the necessity of applying internationally recognized standards, primarily ISO/IEC 27037. The article is intended for investigators, inquiry officers, judges, defense attorneys, as well as specialists in the field of computer and technical forensics and digital forensics.
