Summary/Abstract: In this article, the authors study the current tactical, methodical and logistical possibilities for the use and application of audio and video recording means in the carrying out of the criminal prosecution action - hearing, by public officials assigned with such powers. It is well known that changes have been made in the criminal procedure legislation in this field, which are not yet reflected either in national case law or in the literature. The authors highlight discussions on the opportunity of these legislative novelties, as well as the strengths and weaknesses of the need for audio and video recording of hearings. At the same time, the present research deals with the tactical-criminal steps and rules to be followed by those responsible for conducting hearings. Finally, the authors of the study come up with some recommendations, which in their opinion are likely to improve the existing normative field, so that the difficulties that may be encountered by the persons responsible for carrying out criminal prosecution actions are reduced to a minimum.
