Question juridique clé
Whether the federal criminal appeal is admissible against the police court judgment as last cantonal instance
Solution extraite
Yes. Although the judgment was rendered by a lower court, Vaud law made the appeal judgment final and no further cantonal remedy was available during the transitional period.
Motifs extraits
Under Art. 80 LTF, the decision must be one of last cantonal instance. During the transitional period under Art. 130 LTF, lower-court decisions may still be challenged federally when they are final cantonally.
