Winning teenager convicted of drug trafficking: one year in prison!
A teenager from Winnenden is in the legal spotlight after being convicted of drug trafficking. The incident occurred during a police check on the B14 when a driver was driving erratically and did not stay in his lane. During the check, the driver threw a small package out of the window, which immediately alerted the officers. A police officer was able to seize the package, which contained 145 grams of cannabis. The owner of the package was identified by the print of his little finger on the plastic bag, which established a clear connection to the drug trade.**ZVW reports that ...**
As a result of his offence, the teenager was sentenced to one year in prison. This decision reflects the strict regulations set out in the Youth Court Act (JGG). The JSK stipulates that young people can be punished for drug possession and trafficking in a similar way to adults, even if the focus is on educational measures. In this way, the legal system aims to reform young offenders rather than just punish them.
Legal framework for young people
The juvenile criminal law offers specific regulations for young people between the ages of 14 and 17 who come into conflict with the law. According to the provisions of the Consumer Cannabis Act (KCanG), the possession and trading of cannabis is strictly prohibited for people under 18 years of age. Children under the age of 14 are not of criminal responsibility. The laws aim to protect young people, particularly through bans on the use and handling of cannabis. In addition, adults must ensure that children do not have access to such substances, which also includes bans on consumption near schools and playgrounds.**Wehner Law Firm points out that...**
The punishments for young people focus on means of education and discipline. For first-time offenders or minor violations, mild sanctions such as discipline can be imposed to give them a second chance. However, repeated violations can lead to more severe measures, which can include, among other things, juvenile detention for a maximum of four weeks. This is not noted in the certificate of good conduct, which mitigates the long-term consequences for those affected.
The young person's latest conviction is a clear sign that the judiciary in Germany continues to take serious measures against drug trafficking among young people. It remains to be hoped that such measures can protect young people from the dangers of drug use in the future.
