I think, it's generally not written as law in common law.
In Germany, Section 323c of the criminal code is about "Omission to effect an easy rescue":
That is shockingly
HORRIBLE legislation.
It creates a state of terror & uncertainty in the populace.
Let's examine it:
That includes the lame, infirm, blind,
very old, and babies, too young to walk.
Quote:does not render assistance during accidents
HOW is defendant supposed to know
whether the event in question was
ACCIDENTAL or malicious ?
Quote:or a common danger or emergency although it is necessary
"common" to whom??
"necessary" to
WHAT????
Quote:and can be expected of him
Can be expected
BY WHOM ???????
Anyone can expect anything, Walter !
Quote:under the circumstances, particularly if it is possible without substantial danger to himself
I take it that Germany has
no equivalent
to the 13th Amendment of the US Constitution ?
(i.e., defense: "I am not your slave; I have no duty
to render unpaid work.")
I surmise that the Germen allege jurisdiction
upon citizens to expose themselves to
danger,
so long as it is not
"substantial" ????
Quote:and without violation of other important duties
How is defendant supposed to ascertain whether other duties
r
"important" or not?? If he sees an accident, must he call his lawyer
for a legal opinion on the point? Have him draw a memorandum of law,
while defendant waits at the scene of ax??
Quote:shall be liable to imprisonment not exceeding one year or a fine.
That is scary; not the product of a free country; authoritarian.
