He was sentenced to two years in prison for cutting down his own tree. However, after cutting down 700 poplar trees and selling them, he was sentenced to two years' imprisonment and suspended for two years. The illegal income of 30,000 yuan was confiscated and a fine of 654.38+0,000 yuan was imposed. The other four people who helped him cut down trees were sentenced to six months in prison and suspended for one year, which was an unexpected result.
The land is our own, and we don't plant corn sorghum or poplars. Poplar grows slowly, and it may take more than ten years to harvest crops, but the income is good. So we choose to plant poplars. He thought it was not illegal, but he was sentenced.
Other people with the same idea also said that since the relevant departments fined the trees so quickly, it is impossible for the relevant departments not to know when such a large area of trees were planted, and why no one was fined for cutting down? This shows that the law popularization of relevant departments is not in place. Don't always talk about law and law. At that time, farmers were all doing farm work, so they didn't have so much time to study all the laws, let alone an old farmer. I believe that few college students know that cutting down their own seed trees is a fine.
Moreover, according to the provisions of the forest law, cutting one's own trees must obtain a cutting license. Unauthorized felling of 10 cubic meter or more than 500 trees will lead to imprisonment. Popularizing law is the responsibility of the relevant departments.
According to the relevant departments, you can't get rid of crime without knowing the law, and many things can't be planted or cut down casually. For example, even on your own land, planting is not allowed, because the law clearly stipulates that if you do this, you will be sentenced. The same is true of trees. Even if you plant on your own land, you will be punished for cutting down. Although this is the truth, there is still a difference between growing tobacco and logging.
The state vigorously promotes the prohibition of planting and selling Ys and its products.
And on various occasions, all kinds of media also vigorously promote, so that people can understand relevant knowledge through permeability, but rarely see the propaganda related to deforestation. And planting large areas of trees will be cut down one day. Why don't relevant departments do legal knowledge or inform tree planters to apply for cutting licenses? But it is really unfair to punish the old peasants directly.
By punishing the farmer in Zaozhuang, we also know what to do in the future. Before taking action, we really need to consult the relevant laws, otherwise, you are likely to break the law and be punished by the law.
