The relevance of the study of the problems of truth in law is conditioned by the essential nature of man and his purposeful activity, including the sphere of legal regulation of social relations. At the present stage, the issue of securing the principle of truth in the norms of Russian law is not unambiguously resolved. In this regard, it seems relevant to investigate the issues of the legalization of truth and the mechanisms for its achievement in the conditions of application of measures of legal responsibility. The paper is devoted to the study of philosophical foundations of truth in law, the analysis of practical significance of obtaining truth in the procedural branches of law on the basis of analysis of the norms of the procedural legislation of the Russian Federation. Formal-legal and comparative-legal methods are used for a comprehensive analysis of procedural legislation and the implementation of the principle of objective truth in the legislation. With the use of the dialectical method, epistemological grounds and their significance for the implementation of law enforcement activities are revealed. The article reflects the views of researchers on the content of truth and the realization of the principle of objective truth in law. The conclusion is made that it is necessary to interpret the principle of objective truth as universal one, which must permeate not only the sphere of law enforcement, but also the formation of laws. A proposal is formulated on the need to separate and normatively fix the principle of objective truth in the procedural branches of law as an independent principle. Law enforcement agencies should strive achieving objective truth in the cases in question.

The constant need of researchers for the advanced study of the problems of guilt and responsibility is caused both by the tasks of improving legislation and law enforcement practice and the variability of people’s ideas about the grounds, limits, forms, and purposes of personal responsibility, and ideas reflecting the actual process of the historical development of social relations and the practice of their legal regulation. Using the methods of historical-legal and comparative-legal analysis, the author studied the activity of the legislator on distinguishing the intent and negligence as two forms of guilt when committing transport offenses, as well as differentiating between guilty infliction of harm and an incident. The author concluded that in the sources of Russian law of the 16th–19th centuries, the legislator strongly focuses on the internal (subjective) attitude of a person to a committed offense and its consequences, including transport offenses. The discovery and consideration of such signs of the subjective aspect of an act as guilt, motive, and purpose significantly influenced the act classification and the punishment appointment or led to release from liability due to the absence of the subjective aspect of an offense (guilt) as one of the elements of a crime. The study shows how the legislator considered the influence of a person’s subjective attitude to the committed act when establishing legal responsibility. The research indicates that a comprehensive understanding of guilt as an integral characteristic of a wrongful act, covering the relations between consciousness and will of a person both with the objective properties of own actions and its public assessment, began to develop in Russian law in the 17th century.

The article systematizes legal acts at the international, Federal and departmental levels on the use of artificial intelligence in law enforcement. In particular, at the international level, the corresponding legal act, according to the author, should contain three components of legal regulation: 1) regulate the organization and construction of an artificial intelligence system between States; 2) determine the principles of functioning of artificial intelligence; 3) regulate the ethical issues of using artificial intelligence. The legal basis for the use of artificial intelligence systems in law enforcement at the Federal level, in addition to the Constitution of the Russian Federation, should be the Strategy for the development of the information society in the Russian Federation (Strategy) for 2017-2030, as well as some special Federal laws (for example, the Law of Moscow), which are designed to specify the mechanism for using the advantages of artificial intelligence in all spheres of public life, including law enforcement. The author notes that the mentioned strategy defines only the General provisions of the state policy on the development of information technologies and artificial intelligence technologies. At the same time, the implementation of national interests outlined in the Strategy is impossible without the effective work of law enforcement agencies, whose functioning, in turn, is impossible without a well-built system of interaction between information support and artificial intelligence. The final part of the paper presents some proposals for improving the legal regulation of the use of artificial intelligence in law enforcement, in particular, justifies the need to adopt a national Doctrine for the use of a Unified system of information support and artificial intelligence in the activities of law enforcement agencies.

In this study, the author considers the main problems of digital modernization concerning enforcement proceedings in the Russian Federation. Generation and further enhancement of the digital space have determined the vector of legal regulation in the implementation of any social processes several years ago. Various aspects of the economic, legal and other spheres of public life were reformed. Changes in various areas of enforcement proceedings occurred in stages, sequentially and in plain consideration with the specific features of legal relationships. However the digital transformation of enforcement proceedings has not yet come to its final stages. Many researchers note the “unavailability” of both legislation and law enforcement procedure for the changes that are taking place as well as to the final establishment of such changes as the basic and fundamental rules of law enforcement. In addition, the existing fragmentary regulation in the process of law enforcement gave rise to many problems. In this article the author attempts to identify the positive and negative experience of digital modernization of Russian law enforcement practice and define suggestions that could improve the process.

This article analyzes the relevant legislation, identifies the basic criteria for defining the concept of the civil service of other types in the Russian Federation, and describes the current state of its legal regulation. The service of other types is carried out in the federal-state bodies and organizations subordinate to them; such organizations perform special functions to ensure security, law and order, combat crime and protect citizens’ rights and freedoms. The author identifies the reasons for the abolition of such a concept as “law enforcement service” in the civil service systems and considers the process of its transformation into a new segment within this system. Based on the conducted comparative analysis of legislative and subordinate legal acts containing relevant regulatory provisions, the analysis shows that today the civil service of other types is carried out in state bodies defined as law enforcement agencies. To reflect the current state of legal regulation for the civil service of other types, the author notes an increase in the corresponding legislative framework in recent years. The issues of legal regulation of work in the field of civil service of other types are worked out in special laws regarding employees of customs authorities, internal affairs bodies, the federal fire service, the criminal justice system, and enforcement bodies. In addition, the article outlines the key priorities for further improvement of legal regulation.
