Attention, police control: What you shouldn’t say under any circumstances

“Did I do something?”, “Don’t my lights work?”, “Is my trailer incorrectly loaded?” – When the police asks for control, many drivers shoot and not infrequently also fears through their heads. But you should avoid switching to attack mode as far as possible. This shows in which a man not only drove too quickly several times and did not carry the vehicle license with them, but also reacted to the instructions of the officials.

What happened? A driver was checked on a motorway at 113 km/h instead of the permitted 80 km/h by a civil patrol. In urban areas, the picture continued: there the man drove 23 km/h too quickly. He was stopped. In the course of the control, it turned out that he also did not carry the vehicle documents.

Despite the obvious violations, the driver was by no means cooperative or insightful, as the officials report. Only after several request did he switch off the engine and struck an aggressive tone. According to the court documents, the man had instructed the officials, “better about the demonstrators in Sonnenallee [zu ] Take care, “, however, accused them of” not daring “. Instead, they would” annoy innocent citizens “and” obviously had nothing else to do “.

The officials imposed a total of 225 euros and a one -month driving ban. The man objected. The competent district court subsequently evaluated the case significantly more strictly, the two speed overruns calculated separately and increased the punishment by 25 percent due to the so -called dessert behavior – i.e. his dealings with the police. He should pay a total of 930 euros, the driving ban remained. He also made a complaint.

But the chamber court also confirmed the punishments – albeit with a slightly adapted calculation. Because the “number of fines” of dessert behavior should not be “mathematically”, but must remain within a reasonable framework. However, the man did not save much: the court sentenced him to a total of 830 euros.

He advises you to stay calm as possible with every control. Drivers have many rights when it comes to information and answers, but a neutral to friendly tone should be preserved in every situation. In the “” there is also a list of insults and the possible costs that can result from their expression. Accordingly, a tongue -out tongue can cost 150 euros, 1900 euros can be due for a “bitch” and the stink finger has already been punished with 4000 euros. Cases in which a harsh tone or even insults led to the officers withdrawn and an act was unpunished, on the other hand, there are no.
