Abstract
Deputization refers to the investigator’s authorization of a party specified
by the law to perform on his behalf one or more elementary
investigation tasks, and thus is considered one of the investigation procedures
that aim at finding and collecting evidence. But deputization is
an exceptional system. As a rule, the investigator should perform all
the investigation tasks himself as this lies, strictly speaking, within the
scope of his field of work. However, he is allowed to make an exception
of this rule. and to deputize another party, when necessary and for
the interest of the investigation. Deputization is expected to facilitate
the investigation tasks, making them more flexible and speeding up
their procedures.
Since deputization is an exception of standard rules, its use should not
be expanded. The purpose of this restriction is to maintain the freedom
of the individuals and to protect their privacy and the sanctity of their
homes. This study examines this serious issue and investigates the
conditions of accurate dcputization, both in form and content, and then
explores the provisions related to deputization.
