The definition of the search and investigative action is not expressed in the legal documents, and there are some inaccuracies in the correct understanding of the content of this investigative action in investigative practice and its correct application, such incidents occur in cases where in judicial and investigative practice the search should be performed. Differences in the conduct of such investigative actions as inspection, seizure, examination of evidence at the scene of the incident, or testimony are specified in the Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan “On Operative-Investigative Activity”: “Inspection of residential and other places, buildings, structures, land, technical and vehicles” and “Detained persons, their belongings and documents, as well as their vehicles may be inspected in the manner prescribed by law”. Investigative actions, common and different from the procedure provided by Chapter XXI of the Code of Administrative Responsibility, which defines administrative detention, inspection of things and vehicles, confiscation of things and documents, are justified.
