The proposal from the deputies to legalize private investigation

Today Ukrainian Sherlock Holmes carry out their activities without the fact of any legal units. By and large, we can say that their work is carried out on the basis of what is permitted that is not prohibited. And to some extent this activity is present, but at the same time or not. The bulk of private detective agencies operating on the territory of Ukraine, it operates as a registered media. But right now, there is a proposal by the powers that be that such activities were legal is like detective work.

The scope for private detectives

Of course, to say that private detectives work is not legally impossible. At this point in the Ukrainian legislation still does not present any specific regulations that could regulate private detective. But what they did not exist, does not mean that such work is prohibited. Outlaw at the moment there is only a certain part of the services provided by the detectives. For example, these services include wiretapping facilities, conducting surveillance. In any case, it explains the current situation of a lawyer Igor Malovsky.

On April 12 the parliament was submitted to the draft Law of Ukraine "On private detective (investigation) activities." It is in accordance with the new law and proposed that the work of private investigators became legal. The bill is a fairly wide range of possibilities for launching the work of private detectives. Including even considered permission to conduct and record of doing video. But it is completely forbidden to collect information about his personal life, political convictions and religious beliefs. It's hard to say how glad of detectives themselves. Most likely, they least expect similar changes in national legislation. On the one hand they can quite legally to work, to pay taxes, there will be new jobs. But on the other hand, will be depicted by a certain framework, for which the call is simply forbidden. If it is adopted the law itself, the supervision over the activities of the detectives take the Interior Ministry. In this case, no options inconspicuous operation will not be. Each unscrupulous detective will be brought to justice.

But the same author of the bill, MP Vladimir Moysik suggests that such an approach to the work of private investigation will provide an opportunity to organize a close interaction with law enforcement. In its memorandum to the bill, he analyzes a few countries that have legalized the activities of private investigation. And in his opinion, it is where the police have become more responsible attitude to their duties at the time, as private detectives were able to free them quite legally from holding small and quite peculiar work.

Othello would be happy

Download exactly how much is present today in Ukraine detective agencies, it is extremely difficult, precisely because of their lack of registration.

A look can not only distant relative, business partner or just a friend, but as a former chief, classmates, her first love, music and movie stars. It is quite clear that the search for the above designated persons, law enforcement officials will not be easy. The second important issue is related to infidelity.

Taking the act

The work of private detectives is directly related to quite difficult and unusual cases. As he recalls Yu.Konrad, not so long ago turned to him a man who began to suspect his wife of infidelity. It just became a much later return home, it is where there are new decorations.

Was the practice of "Conrad" and another rather curious case. Head of the company issued employee to work to identify dishonest employees. The detective got a sales manager. Legend had been a splendid one, and planned to execute the order quickly. But on the first day of the new employee head he gathered all the employees and announced that the saboteur began to search for what has hired a detective. It is not difficult to imagine what feelings arose from "a sales manager."
