Drug driving is on the rise... crackdown and punishment regulations are insufficient
Last year, drug driving license was revoked. 82case…2019than years 41% There are likely to be more actual cases of drug driving due to lack of increased crackdown regulations. Simple drug driving punishment., Weaker than drunk driving  [Daily Good News] Reporter Park Sang-woo = Driving while under the influence of drugs ‘drug driving’Although this is increasing, it is pointed out that there is an urgent need to prepare countermeasures due to insufficient crackdown and punishment regulations.. According to the National Police Agency, it occurred after taking drugs. 2car crime ▲2020year 182case ▲20221year 230case ▲2022year 214It amounts to.Among these, traffic crimes ▲2020year 45case ▲2021year 67case ▲2022year 66Counted as a case. What happens after taking

matter 41% There was a sharp increase. This increase in drug driving is due to the increase in drug offenders.. According to prosecutors 2018year 1only2,613The number of crackdowns on drug offenders was 2022year 1only8,395By the matter 45.8% increased. The problem is that crackdown and punishment regulations for drug driving are insufficient..According to research results from the University of Iowa, the antihistamine ingredient ‘diphenhydramine’Driving after taking drugs containing these drugs is due to high blood alcohol content. 0.1% It can lead to more dangerous situations than drunk driving.. blood alcohol concentration 0.1%Driver's license revocation department 1more than a year 2Imprisonment of less than one year 500More than 10,000 won 1,000Punishable by a fine of less than 10,000 won.According to another study, drug addicted patients who suffer from serious psychomotor disorders due to drug dependence have lower blood alcohol levels. 1.73.0% Shows effects and symptoms corresponding to the above.Here, drug users tend to engage in their own specific behaviors after taking drugs..Korean detective‧Kim Nang-hee, a research fellow at the Korea Legal Policy Institute, “One of the characteristics of drug users is that they exhibit behavioral patterns that must be followed after taking drugs.”as “For example, go into a corner of the room, turn on music and stay still., There are many types of people who must drive, etc., but these people can be more dangerous.”explained.However, there are currently no provisions to crack down on drug driving, so drug tests can only be conducted in special situations where alcohol intake cannot be measured even if the driver speaks gibberish or exhibits abnormal behavior.. As a result, the police often do not crack down on drugs under the pretext of not having crackdown regulations, so drug use is often not detected.. For this reason, it is estimated that the actual number of drug driving cases is much higher than the number of cases cracked down by the police.. According to the current Road Traffic Act, drug driving 3Imprisonment of up to one year or 1,000Punishable by a fine of less than 10,000 won. This

punishment for simple drug driving is actually weaker than that for drunk driving..For example, last 2021A driver who caused a serial collision and left the scene while driving after taking

regulations must be strengthened as soon as possible..A legal expert who requested anonymity said: “Just as there is a perception that drunk driving will be cracked down on, we need to raise awareness by establishing crackdown standards for drug driving.”as “We need to introduce regulations that allow for simultaneous testing for drinking and drug use, as well as standards for punishment based on

“층간소음 복수? 어디 한번 해봐”…스토킹으로 줄줄이 잡혀갈판
“Revenge of noise between floors? Try it somewhere”… I'm going to get caught one after another for stalking.
The Supreme Court appears to be reducing the number of complaints related to inter-floor noise following the precedent of confirming stalking punishment for acts of retaliation. Punishment of ‘those who cause inter-floor noise’ is a blind spot. Recently, with the Supreme Court’s first ruling that retaliatory acts against inter-floor noise can be punished as ‘stalking,’ it is expected that a series of criminal complaints related to inter-floor noise will follow. On the 14th, the Supreme Court sentenced a man in his 30s to eight months in prison and two years of probation for harassing his neighbors by intentionally causing noise in the house above him during a dispute over noise between floors. This is the first ruling by the Supreme Court that recognizes retaliation for noise between floors as a stalking crime. According to the Supreme Court precedent, there are concerns that the number of cases in which retaliation for noise between floors will be filed as stalking will increase compared to now. This is because with the enforcement of the Stalking Punishment Act in October 2021, inter-floor noise retaliation meets the conditions for stalking. Cho Seong-geun, an attorney at Daeryun Law Firm, explained, “When establishing the stalking punishment law, noise between floors would not have been taken into consideration. The purpose of the legislation at the time would have been to deter sending messages and voices to unwanted parties, but it ended up fitting into the act of retaliation against noise between floors.” The problem is that although the path to punishment for inter-floor noise retaliation has been opened, there is no proper means of holding accountable those who caused inter-floor noise. Attorney Cho explained, “Generally, it is difficult to file a criminal complaint for causing noise between floors,” and “You can only report a violation of the Stalking Punishment Act if the intention to intentionally cause noise to reach the house below is proven.” Inter-floor noise disputes are increasing day by day. According to the office of Democratic Party lawmaker Hong Ki-won, complaints about inter-floor noise in apartment complexes increased by about 70% from 32,785 in 2019 to 55,504 in 2022. As inter-floor noise disputes become more frequent, measures to strengthen the responsibility of those causing inter-floor noise are being demanded. Cha Sang-gon, director of the Housing Culture and Housing Improvement Research Institute, pointed out, “There is nothing that can be done from the perspective of victims of inter-floor noise,” adding, “We do not support retaliation, but the problem is that there is no appropriate means to punish the cause.”   [View full article] - “Revenge of noise between floors?
