The sentence of the TAR
Hunting yes, but only as a companion. This is the decision of the Regional Administrative Court of Trento which confirmed the revocation of hunting licence and a ban on the possession of weapons, ammunition and explosives against a man who was convicted of drunk driving. This is the same decision taken by the Police Headquarters.
The documents presented by the man
It was not enough for this person to have presented a certificate of physical fitness and a certificate of participation in a course on alcohol and driving awareness. The adequate guarantees in this sense have not been recognized, in short, man would not have the requisites of reliability necessary in such situations.
The past had a specific weight
Drunk driving is a now extinct crime in the case of the former hunter, who has passed probation. The judges also took into account this person's past and his drug addiction problems. This is why the appeal presented in this case was rejected and the man will have to give up hunting.
