Achieving justice may sometimes require making difficult decisions. The responsibility of conscience is certainly a great task. Some judges in Turkey and other countries have fulfilled this responsibility by imposing strange and even humorous sentences.
Here are 10 sentences given by the courts from various parts of the world and Turkey!
The child will never do such a thing again.
An underage teenager takes his father’s car and gives false information to the police after it crashes. A lawsuit is filed against Ganja in accordance with the child protection law and the case is heard in Erzurum 2nd Criminal Court of First Instance. As a result of the lawsuit, the child is given a punishment that he will never forget for the rest of his life: not being able to enter the internet cafe for 5 years.
Power to the base now!
A woman takes a taxi one day and travels 50 kilometers. But he disappears without paying the taxi fare. Therefore, the taxi driver sues the woman and the judge of the case gives a punishment that the woman deserves. A woman has to walk exactly 50 kilometers in a short period of 48 hours.
If only he’d yelled “I’m garbage!”
What punishment would you give to a man who threw a puppy off his balcony? A judge facing this case must have acted with the logic of dying without experiencing what he had lived, because he decided that the man should spend a whole day in a full trash can. A worse punishment could have been given, but again, it might have been a good lesson to the man.
The judge had a very strong sense of humor.
A young man, thinking that there is a humorous side to this, Hz. He wrote 666, known as the devil’s number, by spraying on the statue of Jesus. However, the judge’s humor must have been so developed that he gave the young man a funny sentence by asking him to walk around all day with a donkey with a ‘I’m sorry for this stupid act’ banner.
Aunts always have the energy to go to the wedding.
A 77-year-old aunt can’t pay her electricity bill because she got sick, and with the help of someone, she breaks the seal on the meter and continues to use her electricity. The electricity company also sues over it. The court board, on the other hand, gives the aunt a sentence of not going to the wedding for 5 months, which is a very strange punishment within the scope of probation. The aunt, on the other hand, said, ‘They gave me a penalty for not going to the weddings. After all, am I ready to go to the wedding after this age?’
Another version of house arrest!
In the Afyon of my beautiful country, ‘what does it matter?’ There is a court decision that you can question. The accused, who was tried for the crime of injury, was sentenced to 2 months and 15 days in prison, but later this sentence was changed to not being able to go to restaurants, tea gardens, cafes, internet cafes and similar entertainment venues without his wife, as well as being banned from watching sports competitions in public places.
Is art for society?
An Austrian artist living in Germany was fined 30 Euros by traffic police after he turned a vintage Mercedes red pickup truck into an interesting piece of art for the city’s 300th anniversary celebrations. The reason for the penalty is that the artwork is placed in a place where it should not be parked.
A punishment has been given where the man can be undecided whether to be sad or happy.
A man working as a mold foreman at a construction site in Şanlıurfa appears to be at fault in the death of a worker because he does not fully provide work safety. Therefore, the mold master was banned from the construction mold making job for 6 months in the court where he was tried for causing death by negligence, that is, by carelessness.
Another decision showing the sophistication of the judge’s humor!
A sea ban was imposed on a person who was found to be smuggling immigrants. The accused, who was sentenced not to approach the sea by the decision of the court where he was tried, could not enter any area where the sea was located within the specified time.
A punishment like the slogan “Free the horses!”
The judge gave an interesting sentence to an interesting event in Erzurum. A man was tried for stealing the railing bars where he was going with his brother’s horse-drawn carriage. The court, in turn, sentenced the accused to 7 months and 23 days in prison, but the sentence was commuted as ‘prohibition from driving a carriage’. The accused could not drive a carriage for 3 months and 26 days due to his sentence.
