Purposes and grounds for detaining a person on suspicion of committing a crime: what are the reasons for the existing contradictions?

The article reveals the reasons that predetermined the lack of correlation between clearly defined grounds and the goals of detaining a suspect arising from the meaning of the law. It has been established that despite the attempts of the legislator to introduce detention into the system of measures of criminal procedural coercion, it has always been and continues to be only a preventive police technique. It allows only to immediately restrict a person’s right to freedom and personal immunity before it is transferred to the jurisdiction of the judicial and investigative bodies. In this regard, the institution of detention of a suspect is proposed to be removed from the subject of criminal procedure regulation and to regulate it by a separate legislative act.
