危险驾驶罪与追诉时效制度:凿枘不投

Crime of Dangerous Driving and Time Limitation of Prosecution:Contradiction

我国现行刑法典已经初步建构了较为完善的刑事追诉时效制度框架。刑法修正案(八)中对追逐竞驶行为和醉酒驾驶行为的刑罚配置直接将追诉时效制度置于进退维谷的境地:若追诉,则于法无据,破坏刑法的体系性;若不追诉,则危害到惩罚的必定性,损伤刑法的权威性。在镜鉴世界各国刑事追诉时效制度的基础上,我国的刑事追诉时效制度应当涵盖所有的刑罚种类,明确树立以刑期长短为主、刑种标准为辅的混合标准,并强化和增加自由刑追诉期限的档次。

Chinese Criminal Law has preliminarily constructed a frame for Criminal Time Limitation of Prosecution. Amendment eighth of Criminal Law regulated that chased driving and drunk driving is a crime, which put existing Time Limitation of Prosecution into a difficult spot： to prosecute such behavior, we have no legal foundation ; not to, we will endanger the inevitability of punishment and the authority of Criminal Law. Based on the system about Time Limitation of Prosecution in other countries, our counterpart should cover with all kinds of penalties, give priority to term of imprisonment and consider elements of penalties in setting up the judgment criterion, strengthen and increase the classes of the term of imprisonment.
