One does not imagine that this current practice is however prohibited and liable to a prison sentence of one year. The law is formal!
At home, you often have the impression of being free to do what you want. After all, it is a private space, out of sight. Starting from this principle, many believe that the rules stop at the front door and that everything is allowed inside. Whether to tinker, garden, or even install certain equipment, we rarely think of the laws that can be applied in this personal space. However, certain common practices can be illegal.

And that’s not all …
