One does not imagine that this current practice is however prohibited and liable to a prison sentence of one year. The law is formal!
At home, you often have the impression of being free to do what you want. After all, it is a private space, out of sight.

Whether to tinker, garden, or even install certain equipment, we rarely think of the laws that can be applied in this personal space. However, certain common practices can be illegal.

And that’s not all …
If the person is taken in the act, the sanction may be heavier in a specific case. “When the facts are committed to the prejudice of a fifteen -year -old minor, the penalties are brought to two years’ imprisonment and a fine of 30,000 euros”, indicates the law.
