APPLICATION OF 5TH GENERATION CELLULAR TECHNOLOGY IN THE PRE-TRIAL INVESTIGATION STAGE

Abstract

The author is going to overview and analyze technological-theoretical, international and national legal grounds for the usage of this advanced technology in tackling criminal offences. The novelty of this paper is that this type of research has not yet been carried out in depth in either Lithuania or Latvia. The majority of research on advanced technology and human rights was and is still focused on the possible threats to human rights which can be caused by new technologies, especially in the area of communication. But let us consider this area of research from a fresh perspective and thereby raise an important question: How does 5th generation cellular technology help with the protection of human rights during a criminal pre-trial investigation?
