Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the cantonal hunting rule on crown stags violated the principle of legality and legal certainty under Art. 1 StGB
Decisione estratta
No. The rule was sufficiently clear because it specified a precise 3 cm threshold and defined how the shortest distance had to be measured.
Motivazione estratta
The court held that the numerical threshold and measurement rule gave hunters adequate notice. The comparison with drunk-driving cases was rejected because the tolerance issue there rests on established technical standards, whereas the NTB's uncertainty range was only a party submission; in addition, the threatened penalty under hunting law was much lower, so strictness requirements were correspondingly reduced.
