The quantity of narcotic drugs found on the offender will be taken into account in the possibility of having recourse to an AFD. It should not exceed a ceiling of 10 grams for cocaine and 100 grams for cannabis. To have a chance to avoid legal proceedings, the drug user must also recognize the facts, be in possession of a valid identity document, be of full age and communicate a valid postal address.
The fine can range from 150 to 450 euros
If these conditions are met, police officers will be able to establish an AFD. The amount of the latter was established at 200 euros. It may however be reduced to 150 euros or increased to 450 euros. The procedure is supposed to take place at the scene of the arrest, but it can also take place in the premises of the police if necessary.
