Diez Police Station Conducts Youth Protection Checks, Finds Violations of Cannabis Consumption Act

On Wednesday, February 19, officers from Diez Police Station carried out youth protection checks in the areas of upper schools and the "Wirt" multi-generational park. The checks, which took place between 8 am and 1 pm, were aimed at ensuring the safety and well-being of children and young people.

During the checks, several children and young people were found to be in possession of Snus, Vapes, cigarettes, and cannabis products. These items were promptly secured by the officers. The youngest person found to be in possession of these items was 12 years old.

The Cannabis Consumption Act, which will come into force in the year 2024, prohibits cannabis consumption on school grounds, kindergartens, playgrounds, sports facilities, and within a 100-meter vicinity of these facilities. The Act specifically prohibits cannabis consumption near educational and recreational facilities.

Violators of the Cannabis Consumption Act may be subject to a fine of €400. For individuals aged 14 and above, this fine applies to those caught consuming cannabis in prohibited areas.

It is important to note that the responsible organization for conducting the youth protection examinations near the upper secondary schools and the "Wirt" multi-generation park on February 19, 2023, is not explicitly mentioned in the search results provided. However, such youth protection activities in Bavaria typically involve the Bavarian State Youth Welfare Office (Bayerisches Landesjugendamt, BLJA) or local youth welfare authorities.
