The idea that any systematization of punishments acknowledges the predictability of punishable behavior is not clear to everyone. However, it is true. No one enacts laws that no one intends to break.
In addition to this thought, I always remember a joke: A guy comes out of the shower into the locker room, realizes he forgot his towel at home, looks around, and sees a sign that says, “Do not dry off with the curtains…”
Today, I took a look at the Criminal Code. I did this because my behavior turned out to be predictable according to that very code, and what’s most interesting is that predictability also implies an underlying aspect.acceptabilityThe text for translation: :.
— Is there no left turn here?
— Yes, but it’s paid.
In other words, there is a replacement of “absolutely not allowed” with “if you really want to, then it’s okay” or “if you don’t get caught, then it’s fine.”
Oh, why did I look into the code? I have a beautiful cannabis plant growing at my dacha. Really — it’s a very beautiful bush. I just checked how many plants you can have before it becomes a problem. For one plant, it’s still okay. You can have up to 10 plants. But what if I had more than 10 bushes? Would I start pulling out the “extra” ones, or would I keep this beauty for myself — that’s not the point. What’s important is that my behavior, at the moment of deciding whether to weed, was already clear to me.acceptable,Since I allowed this hemp to grow.
So, when you take a look at the Criminal Code yourself, analyze why you are doing it and whether what you are inquiring about is acceptable for you. After all, the Code is read by those who violate it or are planning to violate it 😉.
