In
its
judgment
of
4
May
2011
,
the
Constitutional
Court
not
only
did
not
clarify
what
situation
it
referred
to
as
the
point
of
departure
from
which
retroactivity
is
discussed
–
the
preventive
detention
(
not
yet
completed
)
,
the
conviction
(
completed
)
or
the
crime
committed
in
the
past
(
completed
)
–
,
but
admitted
that
both
in
the
case
of
retrospective
extension
of
the
time
limit
of
preventive
detention
(
Article
67d
§
3
No
.
1
of
the
Criminal
Code
in
conjunction
with
Article
2
§
6
)
,
and
in
the
case
of
retrospective
application
of
preventive
detention
(
Article
66b
§
2
of
the
Criminal
Code
and
section
7
§
2
of
the
Juvenile
Courts
Act
)
,
there
was
an
encroachment
upon
the
legitimate
expectations
of
the
targeted
detainees
,
irrespective
of
whether
it
is
assumed
as
a
“
genuine
”
or
“
spurious
”
case
of
retrospectivity[138
]
,
and
that
the
violation
of
the
distance
requirement
gives
the
legitimate
expectations
of
the
targeted
person
a
weight
approaching
that
of
an
absolute
protection
of
legitimate
expectations.[139
]
The
court
conceded
that
in
this
context
the
protection
of
legitimate
expectations
is
closely
related
and
structurally
similar
to
the
nulla
poena
sine
lege
principle.[140
]
Indeed
,
it
is
incomprehensible
why
an
offender
sentenced
to
a
prison
term
benefits
from
the
full
protection
provided
by
the
principle
of
legality
,
including
the
prohibition
of
retrospective
lex
gravior
,
while
serving
the
prison
sentence
,
but
loses
that
protection
when
in
preventive
detention
after
having
served
his
or
her
prison
sentence
and
“
paid
”
for
his
or
her
wrongdoing
.
Both
sanctions
are
severe
interferences
with
the
offender
’s
right
to
liberty
and
should
therefore
be
subjected
to
the
same
test
of
legality
and
the
same
absolute
prohibition
of
retrospective
lex
gravior
,
regardless
of
his
or
her
mental
condition
.
Or
should
one
assume
that
the
Sicherungsverwahrten
,
especially
those
with
a
mental
disorder
,
are
less
worthy
of
dignity
and
humanity
?
