Police in Switzerland do not have the unconditional right to confiscate and destroy cannabis quantities less than 10 grams, the country’s Federal Court has ruled.
The possession of such small quantities of weed, if for personal use rather than re-sale, is already not treated as a criminal offense in Switzerland.
However, on Monday the highest court in Switzerland clarified that such mini-amounts are also not liable for seizure – that is, if there is no proof of any crime having taken place, and if the user is not nabbed while actually consuming the drug.
No cops should be allowed to steal my weed for their personal use.
Cmon bro just one Puff bro please
I thought the title meant the cops were using the confiscated cannabis lol.
It seems the “confiscate and destroy” part was not clear enough… /s
Yes your honor, the whole department got together to ensure the confiscated material was indeed incinerated. Do you happen to have a snack with you?
So they needed too much “resources” for their “destroy” process so they took it away from them.
Nice.
