| | Re: Masseneinwanderung Stoppen [initiative to limit immigration] | Quote: | |  | | | Like being drunk on a train? And then finding oneself in an argument with the conductor or security guard?
Now while ending up in an argument with an official on the train, while drunk, is nothing to be proud of, is it really the sort of offence that merits deportation? | | | | | Yes, what better way to get rid of English football hooligans!

All I was addressing was the claim that the initiative did not impose draconian measures for minor infringements - a claim that turned out to be a big porkie pie.
As to a better way to get rid of English football hooligans, just cancel all return Ryanair or Cityjet flights from popular stag party destinations.

"violazione del bando" is anti-social behavior, BTW.
Tom | | | | | It is little bit more than that:
Art. 291 Swiss Criminal Code. https://www.admin.ch/opc/en/classifi...ndex.html#a291
Edit: anti-social behavour is more like Art. 292.

| | Re: Masseneinwanderung Stoppen [initiative to limit immigration] | Quote: | |  | | | Well, none of those sound like speeding or traffic offences of any kind. 
PS: Trespass + damage == Break in. | | | | | "Trespass + damage == Break in."
Well I will quote the codes. Break-in is included but it is not exclusively break-in. Even with "break-in" could be minor!
I agree about perjury. Art. 186 Unlawful entry
Unlawful entry
Any person who, against the will of the lawful occupants enters a building, an apartment, a self-contained room within a building, an enclosed area, courtyard or garden forming a direct part of a building, or a clearly demarcated workplace or, despite requests from the lawful occupants to leave, remains in such a location, is liable on complaint to a custodial sentence not exceeding three years or to a monetary penalty. Art. 144 1. Offences against property. / Criminal damage
Criminal damage
1 Any person who damages, destroys or renders unusable property belonging to another or in respect of which another has a right of use is liable on complaint to a custodial sentence not exceeding three years or to a monetary penalty.

One of the minor cases which was discussed prior to the vote was a youngster breaking into a garden shed or club house. Another case would be a sprayer climbing over a fence and tagging a building. Or a client with hausverbot, comming back and smashing something. Yes, it is not break ins only.

Comparison of Ausschaffungsinitiative, Durchsetzungsinitiative and the implementing of the former. http://www.ejpd.admin.ch/content/dam...rschiede-d.pdf.
I do not think this exists in English.

While googling around I found the European Sourcebook of Crime and Criminal Justice Statistics 2014.
According to this Switzerland rarely gives custodial sentences for burgary; ca. 13%. So when the AI is in place we will be a nice holiday destination for foreign burglars; if caught they will get a free trip home.

| | Re: Masseneinwanderung Stoppen [initiative to limit immigration] | Quote: | |  | | | The above is a typical example of the hyperbolic BS that peppered the anti-DSI campaign. As if any foreigner convicted of speeding as described above would be automatically deported. They would not. (But just try explaining that to the haters.) | | | | | Well you are right with that. However, having been sentenced for speeding does indeed qualify as a first sentence. Thus if you speed and then commit another crime or offense sanctioned by the DSI in the 2nd part (e.g. trespass plus theft) you get deported. However if you commit the same crimes in inverse order (e.g. trespass plus theft followed by speeding) you don't get deported.
Doesnt' make much sense to me as the two are roughly on the same rung on the seriousness ladder so the seqeunce they're committed in shouldn't matter. | Quote: | |  | | | To wit:
The fact is, deliberately left in place was to be an already existing policy wherein judges can alter (i.e., reduce or eliminate) the "criminal" outcome (and therefore the actual punishment) of a case by considering any mitigating circumstances and conditions — which judges would certainly be expected to continue doing anyway. | | | | | That's not the judges' own doing; in fact they are ordered to use descretion by the law itself, the very law the Federal Parliament wrote as base of their work (Strafgesetzbuch article 23 paragraph 2, among others).
If for instance you get somebody killed due to your own negligence you may get sentenced to some punishment.
If however you're the father of the person killed due to your own negligence you will probably go without punishment by the judge because your causing your son's death in and of itself is more punishment already than the law would have you punished with.
That's called using discretion, taking circumstances into consideration.

I did read these articles and there is nothing that supports your claims of the hyperbolic falsehoods conjured up by the SVP-haters 
So you are wrong and must withdraw your claims |
