(1) Objects may only be confiscated as an incidental consequence of a regulatory offence if expressly permitted by statute.
(2) Confiscation is only permissible if
1. the objects belong to the perpetrator at the time of the decision, or he or she is entitled to them, or
2. the objects, due to their nature and the circumstances, constitute a danger to the public, or there is a risk that they will serve the commission of acts subject to a criminal penalty or to a regulatory fine.
(3) Under the prerequisites of subsection (2) number 2, the confiscation of the objects is also permitted if the perpetrator has not acted reprehensibly.
