Show machine translation

The common police regulations of the upper Fricktal, § 11 para. 4, apply; the fine is listed in the same decree under G1014. The paragraph only covers public property — the owner decides on private property. He says nothing about spending the night without a tent: he talks about setting it up, not about spending the night.
