Description
Summary:The article discusses some of the problematic issues of the law enforcement of a medical examination for drug intoxication as a measure of ensuring the proceedings in an administrative case, and the use of the results of this examination as evidence in a case of an administrative offense. Certain contradictions of the legislation governing the medical examination procedure and the procedural features of the use of the results obtained in deciding on an administrative offense case have been identified. The necessity of introducing amendments to the legislation aimed at increasing the level of legal protection of citizens, including those brought to administrative responsibility, is substantiated. Separate directions are proposed for improving the legal and organizational framework for conducting the examination for drug intoxication, including the establishment of common criteria for assessing the state of intoxication, taking into account acceptable levels of threshold levels of narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances, other chemicals and their metabolites in the human body.
