At the stage of investigation and consideration of the case in court, in order to identify criminals, great importance is attached to the identification of person, collection of evidence and research. The use of digital computer methods in forensic expertise is important and involves the entire system, from the crime scene to the court. These methods combine many capabilities which are the basis for better confrontation with new and evolving threats. On the other hand, these actions should be carried out without violating the fundamental principles of law, and on the other hand, research methodologies based on modern achievements of science should be used as much as possible. Advances in digital computer technology in criminalistic are mainly used for two purposes: for fixation and automated identification. During fixation using fixation means only for better depiction of traces and
other evidence. In the case of comparison systems, they reflect only approximate results about similar searched objects, which are finally checked by an expert and give a conclusion. According to the procedural legislation of the criminal law of Georgia, both the product obtained using the fixation means and the research results reflected in the expert document with the help of comparative systems are important for the investigation and the court, which means that they have the appropriate evidentiary value.
fixation, the crime scene, fact, object and traces are fixed, and during identification, the research objects are automatically being compared with each other. It is possible to intervene in the product created for the investigation and the court, which means that they have the appropriate evidentiary value.
