Ocenny charakter znamion przestępstw narkotykowych
The article discusses the evaluative and vague characteristics used in the descriptions of the various types of offences in the context of the nullum crimen sine lege certa principle. The analysis of these characteristics was conducted on the grounds of the provisions of the Act on Preventing Drug Addiction in terms of the so-called allowable span and freedom of decision left for the authorities applying the law. The results of this analysis indicate that often enough the use by the legislature of the evaluative characteristics strains the principle of nullum crimen sine lege certa. The article also raises the issue of the possibility of proving in a criminal trial that the offender’s conduct has fulfilled some specific characteristics of an offence. The subjectivity principle in criminal law in the context of evaluative characteristics has also been discussed. In conclusions, a possible solution to the problem of evaluative characteristics used in the provisions of the Act on Preventing Drug Addiction is proposed.Artykuł porusza problematykę ocennych i nieostrych znamion używanych w opisach różnych typów czynów zabronionych w kontekście gwarancyjnej funkcji prawa karnego i zasady nullum crimen sine lege certa. Analiza charakteru tych znamion została przeprowadzona w oparciu o przepisy ustawy o przeciwdziałaniu narkomanii pod kątem dopuszczalnej rozpiętości tzw. pasa nieostrości i luzu decyzyjnego pozostawionego organom stosującym prawo. Wyniki tej analizy wskazują, że niejednokrotnie posłużenie się przez ustawodawcę znamionami ocennymi nadwyręża zasadę nullum crimen sine lege certa. W artykule poruszona została również kwestia możliwości udowodnienia w procesie karnym realizacji przez sprawcę poszczególnych znamion czynu zabronionego oraz problematyka zasady subiektywizmu prawa karnego na tle znamion ocennych. W konkluzji autorka proponuje możliwe rozwiązania problemu znamion ocennych użytych w przepisach ustawy o przeciwdziałaniu narkomanii
