a violation/offence can be qualified as a preventive act Explanation: http://216.239.59.104/search?q=cache:7XCoeGFY_6wJ:www.admin.... Deuxièmement, l’infraction doit être qualifiée de moyennement grave ou de grave au regard de la loi fédérale sur la circulation routière, et donc impliquer le retrait du permis d’élève conducteur ou du permis de conduire (let. b). Ainsi, une interdiction de conduire prononcée à l’encontre d’une personne conduisant un véhicule automo- bile en ayant un taux d’alcool de 0,3 pour mille dans un pays qui a fixé l’alcoolémie limite à 0,2 pour mille n’aura pas d’incidence sur son droit de circuler en Suisse.

1 day 1 hr confidence:
An offence may be classified as one of nonfeasance Explanation: Yes. It does have that sense from the definition provided. Preventive offence/offense suggests an emergency knock-out. Nonfeasance = omission vs. mal- or misfeasance. Qualified means toned down. Rather, the French means classifiable here. Example sentence(s):

| Reference Reference information: another ref. : LES INFRACTIONS DE PRÉVENTION (Gazette du Palais 1973 II Doct. p. 764) La **prévention des atteintes à l’intérêt général ou aux intérêts privés** peut revêtir une forme soit matérielle soit juridique. On peut faire ralentir les automobilistes avant un carrefour dangereux, et éviter ainsi des délits de coups et blessures par imprudence, soit, par exemple, en aménageant une chicane soit, à défaut, en imposant une limitation de vitesse. Ce sont **ces prescriptions juridiques prises dans un but préventif** qui, en dépit de leur caractère subsidiaire et imparfait, nous retiendront dans cette étude de technique pénale. (...) Un texte édictant une incrimination de prévention interdit simplement un acte considéré comme dangereux (franchissement d’une bande blanche, pour le risque d’homicide par imprudence), ou prescrit un acte dont l’accomplissement éloigne un danger (ramonage d’une cheminée pour le risque d’incendie). Il peut donc prévoir aussi bien une infraction de commission qu’une infraction d’omission. (...) Par exception, les infractions de prévention comportent une base objective, non pas double, mais unique : le simple accomplissement d’un acte interdit en raison de son caractère dangereux. Par suite elles ne supposent aussi qu’un élément psychologique simple : la conscience lors de l’accomplissement de l’acte interdit (cette conscience étant envisagée de manière abstraite et révélée par le comportement de l’agent).

| Reference Reference information: The term "preventive offence" is also used in English, with much the same meaning ie to refer to actions that don't directly cause damage, but may create a situation in which damage occurs - the law against assembly, eg. is referred to as a 'preventive offence' compared to the law against rioting. The confusion in the expression I think is that it doesn't describe an action that is itself preventive - rather the opposite, it describes actions that promote conditions in which a more direct crime may occur. The term 'preventive' applies rather to the fact of describing the action as an offence - the intention of the label is to 'prevent' more direct crime. Eg. Bilingual Criminal Code and Related Legislation: Quebec ... - Google Books Result by Canada, Philip Schneider, Canada, Dubois ... - 2003 - Law The charge of unlawful assembly can be qualified as a "preventive" offence if it is compared to the charge of rioting. An unlawful assembly is one that ... books.google.com.au/books?isbn=1553671422... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day12 hrs (2008-09-08 09:55:07 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Nb. This meaning also covers the specific case you mentioned, ie omission. "Not wearing a seatbelt" could be characterised as a "preventive offence" in this sense. |
