Abstract
Numerous legal procedures have been introduced into the Slovenian legal system to suppress unlawful conduct, such as the powers of the municipal warden service. The activities of the Slovenian municipal warden service could have an impact on the criminal procedure. After a brief introduction to the legal position of the municipal warden service, the author discusses the relevant powers of the Slovenian municipal warden service which could affect criminal procedures. It also focuses on the constitutional aspects of the municipal warden service’s powers and on the issue of the constitutional admissibility of such evidence in a criminal procedure. The article concludes with findings as to whether and under what conditions evidence is admissible in criminal procedure in Slovenia when obtained by the municipal warden service, and with proposals for legal and constitutionally conformant actions in practice.
