A foreigner who simply doesn't know would never be fined
No actually not. Insults are the same for normal citizens and police. By simply not using „Sie“ its not an insult, tho if the officer says he sees it as an insult he could sue you if you dont stop.
I mean, if a foreigner addresses a police with “du” they are not fined. The reason why they could be fined if they insult or threaten the police. Something that is very common to see between interactions with the police in the U.S.
And refugies wouldn't Even be given a real case for murder and rape
@@jeffscookies3236Exactly, the only reason it technically counts as an insult is because if someone is angry and starts a german sentence with du, that is usually followed by an insult or at least an unfriendly accusation.
So they really fine you for the behaviour as whole, but they have to base it on something tangible.
Y’all are doomed
“Officer! That guy’s being stabbed!”
“Whoa, that sir to you, €600 now!
Nah that fine will find you per mail
"But i said office-sir"
@@dhans9662work smart not hard
Insult😊
Imagine a police officer being able to do anything to you because they feel offended.
They should be able to insult you back, but not much else.
I don’t have to imagine I live in US!
@Jake-eq2fi yeah the sad truth lmao ☠️
That's everywhere
What is this, the US?
German here. This bs is not true. Please feel free to ask the police for help whenever you think you might need them. Don’t worry about how to aproach them. Just ask
“Officer my wife has been shot!”
“That’s offi SIR to you. That’ll be $600” 😎
If a police officer is more concerned about being addressed properly rather than doing their job, that's a useless officer
If you want to see someone useless, look into a mirror. Cant even read properly and thinking is out of question. Whining works however.
Pathetic
so that’s ever german police officer
@@horsermchead2504I believe the entire country of Germany is useless so yes.
@@horsermchead2504 I know a few good ones but the rest are bitches.
that is bs. the german court already judged that "du" was not insulting. "du hur****sohn" on the other hand would be fined but not because of the du but because u called him son of a b***. that is because if the police was special in that way they would be regarding rights superior to normal citizen and that would be unconstitutional.

If it's said in an insulting way... It litarary is in the video
Imagine being fined for using a word LMAOOO THATS UNCONSTITUTIONAL

@ANX-ANX the US constitution only applies in the US.
There is no free speech in germany, we have a limited form of "freedom of expression" aka say something thats a little too much left or right wing and you get fined
When I was deployed in Germany, We were stopped by some cops because we were dressed in civilians and they just wanted to make sure we were legal, none of us had passports because we were there on orders so we had military IDs. We handed the cop over our military ID. He looked it and asked us if we had any passports, We told him none of us have passports because we were deployed here and we're out enjoying the town. He said some German stuff over the radio not even mad and then some more German stuff came back. I looked at my buddy who spoke fluent German and he's like I'll tell you in a minute.
The officer said have a good day and left.
Apparently what was over the radio is he's asking for clarification on laws about us and lack of passports, They came back saying yeah they're good. The military ids are acceptable.
I say this because in a bunch of crazy RUclips videos you'll see a cop pull over Canadian drivers with Canadian plates and demand that they have American ID going so far as to detain them while they refuse to call supervisors. The cops over in Germany for as far as I can tell my one experience with them are very damn professional and not afraid to ask for clarifications.
Also, I highly doubt a cop would write a foreigner a ticket for addressing him wrong.
I lived in the UK and I was in the same situation, when the cop asked their "manager" for some informations.
Oh yes, German police are very professional, but they still enjoy making lives miserable on any excuse, and they'll stop being professional the moment you're opposed to ruling class interests.
that was only one video and the police officer in that video has been suspended
I was wondering how they can just stop and ID with no crime, then I remembered it's Germany, makes sense, looks they love their olden ways😂.
@@youngeshmoney I may not agree with stop and ID but I was in another country. You follow their rules when you're a visitor.
For people who are confused, “Du” means you in German, but if you are addressing someone you don’t know, or someone like your boss or professor, you would say “Sie” which is the more formal way, and is a normal thing in Germany.
So is it just a different tone of saying the same word or are they actually different words that mean different things
Just like "tu" et "vous" in French 😊
So ist es richtig erklärt. "Du" verwendet nan in der Familie, bei Freunden oder Bekannten, mit denen man sich gut versteht. 👍 Man ist "per du". Manche stoßen auch auf das "du" an und trinken etwas dazu. Es bedeutet auch eine engere Vertrautheit Per "Sie" ist man mit fremden oder Respektpersonen, eben Menschen, die nicht zum Familien- oder Freundeskreis gehören.

@@GoldenDragonfly1 In der Regel geht es doch da aber um Fälle in denen Leute weiter geduzt haben nachdem sie bereits darauf aufmerksam gemacht worden sind, dass man eben Siezen sollte.
I feel like this is a very old law that's on the books, but isn't enforced.
German love the laws and inforce them Thay love fallowing orders without thinking
It is enforced. It's the same law that's used for every insult (§185 of the criminal code). However, just adressing a cop as "Du" isn't automatically illegal. It only is if you do so to insult the officer.
@@phill234 That puts it more in context. Makes more sense than what the video portrayed.
It actually still is enforced because it is enforced at the discretion of the police officer and his command and in some places they still take the Sie really serious depending on how you say Du
@@101raziel905ayyy ohh!!!
When I try to imagine a scenario of a German getting fined for addressing police informally I can't help but imagine drachenlord going on a tirade and exaggerating every du
Ive been driving my danish car while in germany for an internship, and i get stopped regularly, I greet them at my window with "hallo mein herr, wie kann ich hilfen?" (Hello my sir, how can i help?). They always have a little smile after that and ask for my papers and drivers license. I'm on my way in like a minute. Luckily my german is decent and I'm allowed to drive my danish car here for a litlle while more (180 days total, been here for 144 days, staying 24 more, so just under the threshold). The german police have so far been very polite and respectful, even complimented my german a few times, so if you're nice and cordial to them, they'll return the favour.
-Kanmst du Helfen? Please my familly is burnning in house fire!
-You don't speak to a cop like that in Germany.
Just learn proper German.
I think foreigners I know usually are too formal with everyone. The German "Sie" is much easier to use. German police officers are rather friendly but still showing respect is better.
You people need to get over yourself . No one care
Well Englishmen used the the formal “You” so excessively that the informal “thou” only survives in vulgar dialects with most speakers unaware that it’s a different word at all.
Yes "Sie" ist easier because the verb ist in the Infinitive after Sie
So IT IS the way you learn IT, the Basic Form with -en at the end
LernEN to learn
Lernen Sie bitte diese Regel auswendig🙂
Lol I do this
It makes me think of my mom. When she arrived in France, she used "vous" (formal pronoun) with everyone including her classmates in college and her friends. She was wrongly taught in Africa that "tu" (informal) was ALWAYS rude. One of her friends got mad because it was like she was putting some distance between them 😂
In America, if the police try to compel your speech, you get to fine them.
No, even in america you arent allowed to insult coos
@@DieGurkenfressernot true, there’s plenty of videos of people insulting the police and no fines or arrests have been made. Do some research
@@Muahaha651 the charge of Disorderly conduct in America is (if u look at one of the defining factors) is:
(2) Uses language, an utterance, or gesture, or engages in a display or act that is obscene, physically threatening, or menacing, or done in a manner that is likely to inflict injury or incite an immediate breach of the peace.
so u can get fined for i tbut usely dont do it because of the paper work
@@Muahaha651 also .. you can find a lot of instances were German people insulted the police with no consequences.
And no, you wouldn't really get fined for using "Du" instead of "Sie".
@ghostinanutshell4768 All those are related to either obscene or threatening material. That's not the same as insults, threats and intimidation are not protected by the first amendment
Also not just officer, but also anyone who you are not familiar with, which for a tourist, is everyone. Sie, not du, is number 1 rule when you want to speak to others
Why do Germans have different levels of 'you' ? We did away with that in English centuries ago. I get the singular/plural thing, but how on earth does one determine whether someone is worthy of formality or no ? People will get aggrieved either way.
@@quantisedspace7047 if u know him you can say du if u dont sie

It's just the equivalent of you calling people "Sir" and "Madam". We don't have an equivalent to that. Respect is expressed through "Sie"

Imagine having such a fragile ego you would fine someone 600 euros for not being formal enough to you. Imagine if teachers, doctors, restaurant staff had that power?
Police officers do not have that power either, at least not in Germany. The "fact" in the video is utter bs
@@ricecrusher8036 That's good. It didn't sound like bs to me because I'm from Quebec, and here insulting a cop is a 230$ fine. And the law is worded such that if you make them uncomfortable in a way that could impede their work, you get fined. Technically using "tu" instead of "vous" could get you a fine, literally the same thing as in the video
@labellissimabritneyellis7230 I looked it up. A court in Germany decided that using "du" (tu) is not an insult ever. There is also an example of a guy insulting a female officer as "c*nt" and some other heavy insults and he got fined 300€.
I also read that the law is just the normal law that counts for everyone (meaning someone insulting you as f*ggot is seen as the same as someone insulting an officer with that slur and both can lead to a fine just the same).
I can’t think of a single medical professional or teacher in my life that would steal an entire paycheck from someone cause they were called a butthead. I can think of many cops who’d either immediately put you in cuffs or straight up shoot you.
I don't really think being charged for insults is a bad idea. Not that I think cops should have to take time to deal with people calling each other names but maybe it being a law would make people at least pretend to like each other
Ich habe versucht, das nachzulesen. Also dieser Wert von den 600€ war ein Einzelfall, so wie ich das verstehe, und es gibt dafür keinen Bußgeldkatalog. Beamtenbeleidigung gibt es so im Gesetz auch nicht. Wenn man also dutzt, dann ist man eher unhöflich als beleidigend. Scheinbar sind Polizisten halt mehr empfindlich und stellen wohl auch öfter Anzeigen. Haha. Ausprobieren würde ich es aber jetzt nicht unbedingt, lieber vorher sich noch mal richtig informieren.
Ich bezweifel das mit dem du im generellen such sehr. Ich glaub nicht das ich denen irgendwie ehere erweisen muss oder sonstwas, würde also sagen das man die hart duzen kann solange man das jetzt eben nicht mit beleidigungen verbindet. Einen polizist nicht als höher gestellte person anzuerkenne aber trotzdem mitmachen kann ich mir nicht wirklich vorstellen das da irgendwas an straftat bestand vorhsnden sein sollte.
I know a plumber you can call though...
Calls Jhonny S.🗿
Regardless if this is true or not its actually really helpful because I've been studying German for a bit and I just started learning the difference between ,,Sie" and ,,du" :] so thanks!

@@thrillseeker8467That's not the problem. The specific law that we're talking about is still in use today. However, adressing the police as "Du" isn't automatically illegal. It can only be illegal if you do so in order to insult the officer.

A German recommended calling an Italian for help.
Bro got his education on this from the back of a cereal box :skull:
All i see are reasons im never going to Germany
In old english the formal "Sie" existed too. = Thou
It's the other way around. The modern word you, was equivalent to "Sie". The word "thou" was the familiar variant of you, that is equivalent to "Du".
"sir there's been an accident"
You can be charged $600 for addressing a police officer improperly? And I thought Canada’s “free speech” was bad….
I'm German and I don't think that actually happens. At least definitely not for people that are obviously from abroad like this guy. But yes, in German there are two forms of addressing someone. The formal, polite form is Sie, the informal form is Du. Addressing an unknown police officer with Du is very impolite and I dont think any German would do this. However, if you're clearly not a native German speaker, surely they wouldn't mind cause its obvious that you might just not know better :)
Your neighbour country (which I assume you love because your “free speech” comment) could get you a fine of death for even making an officer feel inferior or dumb, which they mostly are in America since any thumb can be a policeman.
@@dwizz4391source: Trust me bro. There are plenty of videos on RUclips of people looking for arguments with police so that if they do something they can sue them
I don’t think that’s what “free speech” means.
Germans are more formal when speaking in general. They use titles, surnames and formals for almost all interactions. This is probably just an extension of that hierarchal culture around speech. Many countries would consider the German culture around addressing other people as something that’s familiar because it used to be more common everywhere in the past.
In some places in the US it is still discourteous to not use ‘sir’. In Germany being formal is even more important which is why not doing it is a greater slight.
Is that satire?
Well yes and no because whatever ''you'' you are using matters only in the German language because u ''du'' informal you and ''sie'' formal u is as u can see pronounced differently and have different social values assinged to them
the difference comes from the fact that in English ''you'' has a difference in the use of them but you can't see/know which one is used unless u say it after.
Fining people for simply being less respectful of state officials than they want? That sounds dystopian
Literally 1984
Actually its not pronounced like the written plumber indtead its pronounced plummer. Hope this helps
This is some dumb clickbait content! As a foreigner no one will bat an eye If you use the informal term, we Generally are impressed that you learn our language. If you are rude and the officer feels insulted obviously he can fine you, but Not only because you Said "du" and Not "sie" especially If you need Help or advice

Yeah, the First Amendment is great.
“Kentucky state” (republican) “lawmakers have advanced a bill that would make it a crime to insult or taunt a law enforcement officer in a way that could provoke a violent response.
Under the bill, a person who "accosts, insults, taunts, or challenges a law enforcement officer with offensive or derisive words, or by gestures or other physical contact, that would have a direct tendency to provoke a violent response" in a public place would be guilty of disorderly conduct in the second degree. The offense would be classified as a Class B misdemeanor, punishable by up to 90 days in jail and fines of up to $250.”
Also in the entirety of the US “contempt of cop” is a thing. It’s when a cop gets insulted and arrests someone over false or made up charges in retaliation.
I just address the same way a police officer addreses me. If they say “sie” i say “sie” back, if they say “du” i say “du” back.
I think the most interesting thing to say is: "hey, du Bullenschwein, du sollst mir helfen - aber dali." :-)
