ARE THERE ANY GROUNDS TO SUSPECT?

The problem of legislative regulation of the grounds for suspicion is viewed. In the modern Law of Criminal Procedure the term «suspicion» is used for more than twenty times, also for regulation of legal relationships, but it doesn’t determine the verge between occurrence of suspicion and its absence, i.e. it doesn’t regulate sufficient body of intelligence, which will allow to consider that the prosecution agency has reasonable grounds to believe that a person has committed a criminal act. The analysis of article 108 of the Code of Criminal Procedure leads to the conclusion that the legislator equates the grounds for apprehension of a criminal on the basis of direct suspicion for crime commission and the grounds of origination of suspicion itself. Thereupon the author proposes his formulation of the grounds for origination of suspicion.
