Abstract: The subject of the research is the peculiarities of criminal prosecution for gross violations of traffic rules in certain European countries. The international experience of research in the field of criminal liability for gross violations of traffic rules was considered. The research analyzed scientific materials included in a series of publications of the Netherlands Institute of Law and Management, published following the results of the International Conference on Criminal Liability for Gross Violations of Traffic Rules, which took place on September 7, 2012 in Groningen (the Netherlands). The authors analyzed analytical reviews devoted to the study of the complex nature of traffic violations, as well as the system of gross violations of traffic rules in a number of European states, highlighted the features of sentencing for these types of crimes in these states. The role of guilt and harm from the point of view of the severity of punishment, psychological aspects of the behavior of drivers of vehicles that are relevant to the causal relationships of the commission of the types of crimes in the field of road safety are also studied. To solve the tasks set and verify the initial theoretical positions, a set of research methods was used: universal dialectical, logical, formal-legal, teleological. The authors conducted a comparative analysis of the current legislation of Russia and foreign countries (the Netherlands, England, Wales), which allows us to state that tougher liability for gross violations of traffic rules will help stabilize safety on public roads. At the same time, the degree of danger should be taken into account, and therefore it is necessary to carry out an additional classification of offenses, by analogy with foreign countries. Thus, in accordance with the legislation of the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Republic of France, the maximum penalty for negligent traffic violations is higher than an administrative offense, while an intermediate offense is allocated between administrative and criminal liability. This principle can be implemented in Russian legislation, which will distinguish this type of offense into a special one and allow for more accurate classification.

Abstract: The study is influenced by the practice of investigating activities videotaping in Russia. It is known that Russian criminal procedural legislation provides almost no regulation of this aspect. Local experience is diverse and contradictory. Hence, a great potential of videotaping as an instrument of fixation of the investigation process and results can’t be realized. For comparison, the author considers the process of investigating actions fixation by investigative agencies of the US. Taking into account that preliminary investigation in the USA is more frequently referred to as the police one, this term is used in the title. The research is based on the works of Russian lawyers and foreign documents including statutory instruments and educational materials. A significant peculiarity of the study is the use of primary sources. Usually foreign experience in crime investigation is studied from a theoretical point of view, but this article considers police codes, rules and charters applied by police officers in their regular work. Besides, the author studies methodical literature. The author concludes that all the ways of the police investigation fixation in the US (reports, notes, photographic recording, videotaping, plans and schemes) are equal, while in the Russian practice a report remains the main instrument of fixation of the investigation process and results.
