ABSTRACT
The study is devoted to the analysis of law enforcement problems generated by the contradiction between public and private interests. In the introductory part, based on the information provided, including the results of a sociological study, the relevance of the chosen topic is indicated. The content of the work is the search for a balance of private and public interests. The opinion is expressed about the possibility of achieving a balance of interests in the law enforcement officer’s desire to establish the material objective truth while respecting justice and the expediency of using measures of criminal procedural coercion. The special importance of the national interest as an integral vector of the development of criminal procedure is highlighlighted. It has been noted that the protection of national interests is carried out on the basis of the principles of legality and the protection of human and civil and freedoms. The study analyzes various approaches of process scientists to the idea of a balance of interests. In the final part of the article, the results are summarized, conclusions are formulated with a proposal to improve law enforcement activities.
