In fact, the most appropriate way to evaluate this law is to consider the acts it omits from its grant of impunity to a wide range of criminals:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>If you have received a fine for not wearing a seat belt in your car<\/strong>, the fine will not be forgiven, even if you claim political motivations for your behavior. This will happen <strong>while the law forgives crimes of public disorder in which urban furniture was set on fire<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>If by mistake you stopped paying a tax, you will be punished<\/strong>, because you are not an influential separatist politician capable of twisting the arm of the government to turn a blind eye to certain crimes. <strong>You will be punished while the embezzlers of millions of euros go unpunished.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>If you insult a police officer in the exercise of his duty, you may be fined<\/strong>, with a fine of up to 18 months under Article 504 of the Penal Code. However, <strong>crimes of attacks against authority committed by separatists will be forgiven and erased<\/strong>, even those committed against agents who were injured for life.<\/li>\n<li><strong>If an armed robber enters your business and you beat him up<\/strong>, you can be arrested and sent to trial (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.telemadrid.es\/noticias\/madrid\/Detenidos-los-duenos-de-una-tienda-en-Tirso-de-Molina-por-dar-una-paliza-a-un-ladron-tambien-arrestado-0-2595940408--20230911122339.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">there have already been cases in Spain<\/a>), even though you claim that he was defending your personal integrity.
