    There is a law that lets the police take people into custody to prevent terror attacks, but that’s not the case here.

    Complaints have been lodged before, but hitherto dismissed. And final clarity on the legality of the procedure is still pending.

    It helps to read the article.

      But this is in fact how the police argues. Climate protests are terror attacks (since they disrupt traffic) and therefore this is justified.

      Pretty sure the Bundesverfassungsgericht (basically our supreme court) will shut this practice down – just like all the other times Bavarian laws have been ruled unconstitutional – but Bavaria doesn’t care. They scrap the law and replace it with a similar unconstitutional version and wait 2 years until the Bundesverfassungsgericht rules it unconstitutional and so on.

        It’s basically our texas or florida, depending on your pov. It’s a place with great nature, interesting culture but also very crude beliefs and you either like the culture or you dont. Most importantly, police is said to be a pot rougher over there and politics is pretty conservative as well.
