Court knocked down norm that prohibited consumption of alcohol and drugs in public space
Considering it "unreasonable" and because it "violates the free development of personality", the Constitutional Court annulled the norm that prohibited the consumption of liquor and psychoactive substances in public spaces. This norm was part of the Police Code.
Judge Diana Fajardo, rapporteur of the ruling, said that the "free development of personality by personally prohibiting, under penalty of police action, the consumption of alcohol and psychoactive substances in public spaces as a way to protect peace and respectful relations" .
The court eased restrictions on specific sites such as parks, stadiums, coliseums, sports centers and health centers. That is, from now on, no one can be fined for having a beer in a park or for smoking marijuana on public roads.
"It is a controversial measure because, from the human point of view, it violated the rights of a few, but it shows that these people do what they want in front of another public that does not use drugs, for example, in a park," he says. the lawyer Tiberio Molina.
It falls then the norm that the Police applied the fine type 2 that generated these conducts and it allowed the authorities to dissolve the meetings in which it had consumed in the public space.
Where are the rights of those who do not consume or want to see consume?
Do not let this infamy!
