Erding - The Bavarian Police Union (GdP) sees the Federal Council's decision to support the majority of the cannabis law presented by the federal government as a gross mistake and a major challenge for the police, judiciary, youth welfare offices and the entire healthcare system.
“I cannot understand why the warnings of the experts from the ranks of the police, the judiciary and the doctors were not heard and why we are now faced with a huge challenge in implementing this questionable law,” says Florian Leitner, state chairman of the GdP Bavaria.
“There are no sensible regulations to protect our children and young people in and around kindergartens and schools; There is no uniform plan of action for the police and we are confronted with increasing consumption, a flourishing black market and significant traffic hazards. The judiciary has to retroactively examine a large number of completed procedures through a ridiculous amnesty regulation; the police have no way of properly checking the new regulations.”
“By implementing the Cannabsi Act (CanG), the traffic light government is achieving a reduction in the increasing numbers of drug-related offenses, because our colleagues simply cannot control this, and where there is no control, the numbers fall. “This law is not only bad in terms of content, it is also poorly implemented,” Leitner continues.
“We will all feel the effects in our society, because clear rules are needed to create security and clarity for the population and the security authorities. The open questions need to be clarified, for example how an increase in traffic accidents caused by the influence of cannabis can be effectively counteracted.”
The states are now required to issue regulations to regulate the handling of cannabis. The GdP is curious to see how the effects will be dealt with.
