Abstract

This article looks at the one of the most important institutes of criminal procedure law. Protecting the right to liberty is a major positive responsibility of any democratic state. The freedom of the person is inviolable. Consequently, the restriction of this right and the interference of the state in it is possible only in rare, exceptional cases, provided that the normative rules established by the imperative must be observed unconditionally.

   The article is based on the analysis of scientific literature, legislation and investigative / judicial practice. It reviews the key provisions of lawful arrest and the challenges involved. The purpose of the study is to identify gaps in legislative and investigative / judicial practice related to the arrest of a person based on a judge's ruling and to develop the necessary recommendations for their elimination.
