Some people think poppies are nice enough to plant them at home, others want to give them a taste, and then they throw seeds in the fieldJanjuTwo growers, one in police custody and one in a direct criminal case, cost much more than you think。
More than 40 in a flower pot
The civilian police of the yangzhou public security bureau, zhengjiang division, recently visited yang wang street wang's home and found poppy plants in the flower basin, amounting to more than 40 plants, which were eliminated on the spot. It may be that the king has planted a few bowls of opium poppy in colour and beauty, but the law doesn't care if you think it's okay to grow it, so there's no difference between the flower basin and the field。
According to article 83 of the law on administrative penalties for the administration of public order, anyone who illicitly cultivates less than 500 opium poppy shall be detained for 10 to 15 days and liable to a fine of up to $5,000; in less serious cases, to detention for up to 5 days or to a fine of up to $1,000. More than 40 of these, the youngest of which is the start of five days of detention, will also be recorded in the personal files of the police。
3,000 in zhang's field
Also in the zangjiang district, more than 3,000 opium poppy plants were discovered by the civilian police in zhang's farm in yang temple town, all of which were found to have been illicitly cultivated by zhang, and the police of the zhangjiang sub-station completely eradicated the more than 3,000 opium poppy plants by law. Unlike dozens of plants in one of wang's flower basins, zhang was growing on a large scale, involving quantities well above the maximum that security sanctions could cover。
According to article 351 of the penal code, the cultivation of more than 3,000 opium poppy is punishable by imprisonment for a term of not less than five years and a fine or confiscation of property. On the basis of this article, zhang has opened a criminal case against him, which means that he is no longer facing a fine or detention, but a rigorous prison sentence and that the life course will be completely rewritten。
Fifty are illegal red lines
Many people thought it would be easy to plant 10 poppy plants, but article 83 of the law on administrative penalties for the administration of security was very clear that anyone who illicitly cultivated less than 500 opium poppy would already be guilty of an offence and would be detained for a period of between 10 and 15 days, without "less than " . Even if you had only planted one on the balcony, it would theoretically be within the scope of the penalty, and the law would not have a "minus exoneration"。
The law, however, also leaves a way to live, and the same article provides for non-punishment of self-destruction before maturity. In other words, if you grow it, but it is not yet harvest time, you will be excused from taking it out. The question is how do you know that you grow opium poppy rather than ordinary wild flowers, and many people simply don't know what the plant looks like, as if it's too often found。
3,000 direct criminal proceedings
From 500 to 3,000, the nature changed completely. Article 351 of the criminal code stipulates that anyone who cultivates more than 500 opium poppy than 3,000 shall be sentenced to imprisonment, detention or control for a term not exceeding five years, with a fine, and that the same penalty shall apply to anyone who, after being dealt with by the public security authorities, grows and resists its eradication. Once this threshold is crossed, it is a criminal offence, not to pay a fine。
More than 3,000 of zhang's units have stepped on this line, corresponding to a prison sentence of more than five years. There is also a provision that is easily ignored and that automatically eliminates illicit cultivation before harvest, provided that it is "automatic" and does not wait for the police to come in. Zhang yai did not take the initiative to eliminate him, so that the applicable sentence would not be less than one sentence, and the prison term would not be less than one day。
You can't use it as an excuse
The king probably thinks the poppy flower looks good and wants to watch it, and zhang is more likely to listen to the old saying "poppy shells boil water to cure the disease" and "poppy flavor" in the vegetables. However, article 19 of the anti-narcotics act makes it clear that the illicit cultivation of opium poppy is prohibited, whether it is for reward, medicine or taste, and that the law does not depend on your use, whether or not you have a seed, or if it is illegal for any reason。
In addition, article 352 of the criminal code provides for a separate category of acts involving the illegal sale, transport, carrying, possession of undefended poppy seeds or seedlings, in larger quantities, which are punishable by imprisonment for up to three years, detention or control, and by a fine or a single fine. Even if you don't have the guts, buying a poppy seed from someone else to bring it home could constitute a criminal offence if it was enough。
Shouldn't we care if we found our neighbor
Article 19 of the law on counter-narcotics also stipulates that villagers ' committees and residents ' committees that detect the illicit cultivation of narcotic plants should promptly stop their eradication and report it to the local public security authorities, and that local people's governments at all levels should take immediate measures. It's not nosy, it's a legal obligation, whoever you are, to see it, and it's not right to pretend not to see it。
Both of these cases were detected by the civilian police during their home visits and visits to the countryside, indicating that the police in yangzhou continue to increase their efforts to control the illicit cultivation of opium poppy. The neighborhood you live in, the yard you rent, the garden you grow can be checked out, and don't think that "who knows how many plants you grow," and now it's routine for the grass-roots police to go to the village, and fortunately the biggest pit。
Is there any chance that your balcony or kitchen has been mixed into poppy seeds? Are there any neighbors growing flowers you don't know? Welcome to the comment area to talk about what you saw, and if you think it's useful, just order a compliment to your family and friends, and one more person knows that only one more person will step on the pit。
