Cătălin ONCESCU, Aspects related to the Right of the Prosecutor to Temporarily Authorize Measures of Technical Surveillance and Entry of Criminal Investigation Bodies on Private Property in order to Enable or Disable Technical Means for such Surveillance

Abstract: According to the Romanian criminal procedure law (art. 141 Criminal Procedure Code), the prosecutor may authorize temporarily, for a maximum of 48 hours, any measure of technical surveillance. This draws the question to know whether, during the temporary authorization of the technical surveillance, the prosecutor may also authorize the criminal investigation body to entry private property  in order to enable or disable technical means of surveillance.

This paper attempts to demonstrate that the answer can only be negative. The only judicial body that can authorize that the criminal investigation body entries private property, in order to enable or disable technical means of surveillance, is exclusively the Judge of rights and freedoms.

Key-words: technical surveillance, temporary authorization ordered by prosecutor, entry on private property by the criminal investigation body
