Verwaltungsverstoß

Verwaltungsverstoß is a German legal term that translates to administrative offense or administrative violation. It refers to a breach of an administrative regulation or law that is not considered a criminal offense. These violations are typically handled by administrative authorities rather than criminal courts. Examples of Verwaltungsverstöße include minor traffic violations, parking offenses, or breaches of local ordinances. The consequences of a Verwaltungsverstoß are usually a fine, known as an Bußgeld, or other administrative sanctions. The severity of the offense determines the amount of the fine or the type of sanction imposed. The proceedings for a Verwaltungsverstoß are generally less formal than criminal proceedings, with a focus on issuing a penalty rather than punishment in the criminal sense. Individuals accused of a Verwaltungsverstoß have the right to present their case and may appeal the decision. The purpose of these regulations and their enforcement through administrative offenses is to maintain public order, safety, and the proper functioning of society by ensuring compliance with a wide range of rules and regulations.
