Residential searches usually take place in the early morning hours and subject those affected—often abruptly awakened—to significant stress. As a rule, searches are conducted based on a judicial search warrant. The following basic recommendations apply to individuals affected by such searches:
Search Criminal Procedure RightsJuvenile criminal law applies to minors between the ages of 14 and 17. It may also be applied to young adults (aged 18 to 20) if their level of maturity is still comparable to that of juveniles. Juveniles or young adults treated as such are not subject to the strict sentencing guidelines of adult criminal law. As a result, they are generally punished more leniently than adults.
Juvenile Law Young Adults Criminal ProcedureIf you are suspected of a criminal offense, you must be informed of your right to remain silent. Use this right. It is yours.
Right to Remain Silent Criminal Law Criminal DefenseHave you received a penalty order? Keep the yellow envelope. The delivery date is printed on the envelope. The penalty order becomes a conviction if you do not file an objection within 14 days of receiving it (delivery date). Do not delay—contact a criminal defense attorney immediately.
On September 24, 2024, the Local Court of Aschersleben (Case No. 2 Ds 69-24) set the threshold for a \"substantial quantity\" of the psychoactive cannabis compound THC at 37.5 grams under the new Cannabis Act. This refers not to the gross weight of marijuana, for example, but to the actual THC content within it. Average THC content typically ranges between 5–20% of the gross weight. The \"substantial quantity\" of the active substance forms the legal basis for determining whether possession, import, or trafficking constitutes a misdemeanor or a felony.
