Kernrechtsfrage
Whether prosecution was time-barred despite the 2005 conduct
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. The earlier reasoned decision of the Amtsstatthalteramt counted as a first-instance judgment, so limitation had ceased to run.
Extrahierte Begründung
For contraventions, limitation is three years, but it stops after a first-instance conviction. The cantonal authority's reasoned decision after investigation and file access had equivalent first-instance effect.
