In this article, the author discusses the advisability of using audio and video recordings during investigative actions of a verbal nature, such as interrogations, confrontations, on-site verification of testimony, identification parades, and subsequent use of the obtained materials in evidence. It is emphasized that the use of these recording devices, on the one hand, will help prevent potential violations of the law during investigative actions by those authorized to conduct the preliminary investigation, and, on the other hand, will help prevent cases of criminal proceedings participants retracting their testimony given during the preliminary investigation or claiming that their testimony was given under duress. Numerous examples from judicial practice demonstrate the need for the playback of audio and video recordings used during investigative actions in court due to their clarity, objectivity, and transparency. Furthermore, video recordings provide the most vivid picture of the actual events during the investigative action, compliance with the law and the rights of its participants, confirming the voluntariness of testimony, or, conversely, demonstrating violations. It becomes clear that audio and video recordings used during investigative actions and played in court serve as more reliable and therefore more compelling evidence than recordings in the investigative report, thereby guaranteeing the immediacy of the trial. This, in turn, allows us to speak of increased effectiveness of the entire evidentiary process in a criminal case.
