I live in the area where this documentary was filmed. To be honest, every police or fire person I have ever met have been kind and helpful. I still remember several years ago when, late at night, I went over railroad tracks and the tracks burst all 4 of my tires for some reason. Two very nice officers helped me call a wrecker, helped me set up my lights and safety triangle warning, and were even going to change the tire for me until they realized it was more than one tire. I do not understand why anyone, in any country would be less than cordially if the police are cordial to you. I also was rear ended several years ago and again, they were nothing but professional, cordial, and were really intent on making sure all involved were not hurt. Later on, I had an injury (whip lash, honest to god and it was really awful) that appeared later. The police later contacted me to make sure all was well. Again, I don’t understand all the rage and disrespect.

@@dan-so4xqI know it's been two years BUT: For the most part, they're just rough to immigrants. You have to know that Germany and other European countries have a massive immigrant problem, not only because of the poor ess they bring, but also their behaviour. Many of them (important: NOT ALL!) are aggressive and in large cities such as Frankfurt and Hamburg it is common to See someone with a knife or some thing else threaten some body. And who's the guy with the knife; exactly: immigrants. Btw this isn't meant to be racist but it should be treated as a Problem.
Interesting. Here in the US, they are very common, and civilians want them to keep the police inline, and many police departments fought against them, or at least a little.

Being a Policeman is one of the toughest job. We are all safe because of them. Good luck to all Policeman and their families. As usual, another Good documentary by DW.
My heart goes out to those officers who put their lives on the line every day, this whole world is a wicked an ungodly place to live, if a police officer is a safe then who is.
U re exagerating a bit, police interacts with the marginal strata of any society more than other colectives but in most european countries the danger is low, the death related to working is low compared to other jobs, the one with most dead counts is construction in almost any country and u dont say they put their live on the line.... if u talk about work related health isues then construction comes first again (if u dont take mental isues into acount). U can chek the ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php?title=Glossary:Fatal_accident_at_work for more info.
Well if you are the law enforcement of a country you tend to clash more often with people breaking it, therefore you are more in danger then normal citizens. You should rather argue: "when a child isn't safe, who is?"
I think always On can be bad, especially if/when the officers give you a warning or second chance, the always On camera already captured your identity.
DW has an excellent coverage of wide topics and the content is also well handled in a limited time frame. Body cams for police officers is a must and that really brings in transparency on the human rights front. Someday in the near future I would definitely like to drop by at the DW office and the Local German police office when in Germany.
I respect police work so much. It’s a very hard job to stay calm, collected and neutral in every situation, haha I idolize the people who are able to do so. But on another matter, I grew up respecting our Polizei, but I will also step in if I see a situation of a police officer mistreating someone. The holy middle, guys, the holy middle.
By the time a cop decides to turn on a bodycam that is not recording at all times, they missed out on recording the most important parts of the escalation.
i think the idea is not using it as a tool for incriminating ppl but as a disuasive measure to defend themselfs (like taking out a stungun), a unique aproach they say its usefull, couse it decresed violence in 50% in the doc here. Dont know if its true thought.
Why allways brown and blacks are complain about racism when police it's trying to enforce the law?I think we need laws for people who make fals claims like that...It's not ok to call everyone a racist without a prof!
Really great show. This makes the German cops look really Great and professional, as is evidenced by the fact that they don't mind using the body cams for Their own protection, as compared to the American Police unions who fight being observed tooth and nail. If I were a cop, I'm sure I would do my job bad-ass and would insist that everything be recorded so that I could get more commendations and pay raises, a opposed to being worried about concealing my criminality.
Has any city considered banning alcohol drinking on the streets and at ball games? You should do that in consideration of the police. In any case you guys look much more civilized than us in the US.
Most people dont trouble anyone drinking here in public. I dont think thats gonna change soon. Its just a cultural thing here. Small changes are made like banning any Glas Bottles at big events. IMHO they should handle any (Sports-Event) violence very firmly its blocking whole entrances and trains when drunk idiots arrive/depart from our Main Train Station. Busses full of Police handling them.
Many random crimes against innocent people are done under alcohol and drugs influence annihilating any moral discernment, or even in a psychosis crisis produced by the consuming. But they are nice. Others will go directly to the car to take the shotgun. In Europe not in the USA.
In the US, if you spit in a cop's face, you would get a beating at the very least, be arrested and charged with assault of a police officer. It is astonishing to me how lenient these police are and how much crap they take. It's certainly a difficult and thankless job.
Well part of the job of the camera is to be visible in the first place. It is one thing to theoretically know, that there might be police camera running. Another to actually see the big visible unit and vest labels on the officer. So might be as simple as: We really really want people to know the camera is on scene, because that helps to moderate behavior.
Love how you're talking out of your ass. It depends on the camera, our counry leo and sheriff is always on (kinda like a sleep mode). No audio though until officers are confronted orbabout to be.
Mmmm I wonder what's changed in Germany in the last 4 years for this to be the norm? I just cant seem to put my finger on it. When I grew up there it wasn't necessary, so what's changed??
Its not a new debate. Germans are very "sensitive" about recording their stuff so it just takes much longer until local police can use it...I do not mind it personally. Basically OP is one of those Troll comments. When the troll commenter grew up...the technology to achieve bodycam usage for everyday police was just NOT feasible or possible.
Because of fear mongering from both sides in our society and the influx of undocumented migrants plus conflicts around europe and the rise of far right nationalists. More extreme violence on the left and right, poverty and pressure on middle class and low income population. Islamism, nationalism, xenophobia, racism, antisemitism and international conflicts on german soil. Broken promises by politicians and an overall dissatisfaction and insecurity in the society. Islamist and far right terrorism. Threats, attacks and homicide from the far right against liberal and conservative politicians, left-wingers, refugees, liberals, migrants, jews and muslims, germans with migration background and ordinary germans. Threats and attacks from the far left against neo-nazis, right wing politicians, right-wingers. That's why.
The Rate has decreased in the recent years lol Source: www.dw.com/en/crime-rate-in-germany-lowest-since-1992-but-seehofer-still-issues-stern-warning/a-43697232
That is nothing to boast about. A Society is supposed to be served and protected by the police and Never harmed. Maybe you need a passport to travel to a civilized society and you would know the difference.
The police provide service to the public hence why its called police service not police force the police in Europe are not paramilitary force like in America
That’s interesting and to be honest, somehow the least bit funny how IN 2022 IN Germany calling someone a NAZI is easily seen as a high level insult. 🤣👍🇺🇸❤️🇩🇪
I support the bodycams! I think they should be on at all times! Also the police should have to say it's being recorded! Also there really needs to be stronger punishment when you hurt an officer. People need to understand that the police don't make so much money and yet they are on the streets risking there own lives to keep people safe.
It's illegal to film in houses for example. Second the police officers are legally recuired to tell you that the camera is filming as stated in the documentary.
German: es ist komisch zu hören wenn jemand auf deutsch Spricht und es auf Englisch übersetzt wird English: it's strange to hear someone speaking in German and translating it into English
Just for the sake of dismissing the case of having " conclusive documents of crime" can be deep fake if the case is very seriously institutionalized or personally instigated injustice. OR if you have to avoid a millions dollar case,,,
Good to see, that peoples behaviour in such circumstances, change once they know they are being filmed. It used to be the police persons word against the suspect. Now recording these things, leave no doubt, and makes the person think. Its very logical that cameras affect both the police and the suspect, in how they interact with each other. This was why i am all for cameras on police for years now. This shows, that once people know they are being recorded in such situations, people think, and act differently. Its good that both the police persons and the suspects behaviour, is restrained mostly in such circumstances. This works for both police, and suspects, like the police person admitted. Some times being a police person, he said, your human side comes to the surface, with the abuse they have to take. So it works for both, and best for everyone, that interactions between police, and civilians, are recorded. Its a hard job being a police person, and so many people do not appreciate how much abuse these people have to take, in there interactions. They have probably seen it all, from all types. Best thing for everyone, ie that police wear cameras, and have them on, and tell the civilian when they turn them on. Its nice to see how techs work for something positive, while techs are often used in negative ways. Only the police there whom have experienced both without cameras, and with cameras, will be able to tell if these things work. Its nice to see they do have an effect. The real term for police, is law enforcement, and this video shows how it should be done. Police cannot make correct rational decisions all the time, and its best for everyone, that there interactions are recorded with the public. Its good to see, the police say it has a positive effect on publics behaviour towards them.
You guys do realize that it's in the police best interest regardless of which country to portray itself in a positive light, or at least less evil than the people they prosecute.
Not much really in factual terms. Crime overall is down, significantly so, to include violent crime. Attitudes and abuse towards police fluctuates. Not to mention the reporting criteria has changed.
Strange the police officer says it is used in order to "try to influence the behaviour of the people we engage with". How about they are used to protect themselves and citizens by providing accountability for everyone!
Idk how similar it is in Germany to police in the United States but police here care about one thing, charging someone with the maximum amount of crimes so that the state can get the ‘criminal’ to plead guilty and get the most amount of money from them. I think it would go along way for police to meet them in the middle by being understanding. Instead of charging them with crimes, try to see what the root of the problem is. Sometimes it can be resolved easily and some others might just need medication. There will always be some that don’t care at all. Cops usually always outnumber someone and this provoked someone to immediately go on the defensive. A therapist in the group could significantly help resolve issues I know from first hand experience police treat suspects poorly, I was threatened because a cop reached in my pocket suddenly and got picked by a pen. “The next time I did that I would need to be taken to the hospital after” but “ that’s not a threat”. If I had said that to a cop but said it’s not a threat how would that go? The justice system, probably everywhere, needs to be reformed or violence and hatred will continue but our leaders don’t see a need for change. Locking people up solves the problem in their mind. More severe punishment doesn’t help either because most people don’t know the true ramifications for most offenses.
Ben Adams surely, that’s why they are enjoying wealth care(which is great) and the only thing they ask is that you learn language and accept our values.
I think they would act different in the US because you get the training you need. In US you have much blacks and latins, so you need a more violent training.
Definitely different from the us. But then again people conduct themselves differently in Germany . Hmmm.think some things can be learned on both sides.
Saw this in some cities of India like Shimla and other places police use mobile phone to record. Edit - Policemen wearing earnings first time seeing it.
You can record, but you cant stand in the way while doing it or film an accident victim because of Laws that protect the privacy of them. To be specific so you don't misunderstand, you are allowed to film an accident but after it happened you cant try to get close up to the human that got hurt and film him/her.
@@dougtheviking6503 Easy to be nice when it's highly unlikely the people they are interacting with will pull out a gun and start shooting. Watch the PoliceActivity RUclips channel to see what U.S. police deal with.
Yes I know I'm from Illinois . These poor guys , Why did you flip us off ? Turn that camera on here (The U .S )so you can film some dude cussing them out .Then they're rolling on ground struggling .

German administrative offence law ( generally the same things in all EU): Stating False Names; Inadmissible Noice (fine up to 5000€); Public Nuisance (not to be confused with "Causing a public disturbance"); Total Intoxication; Keeping Dangerous Animals etc. Common sense.
In Germany, the police are allowed to check your id for no particular reason. The law says it is done to protect the general public. On the other hand, it is much harder for a German police officer to arrest someone than for an American police officer, for example.
I have been advocaing for this for years. Here in Denmark the police deny that there is a problem. Instead, as a compromise, the police wears a unique 4 digit identity number, so that individual officers can be singled out and identified in the many many cases of police violence. I believe that every single officer should wear a camera. The fact that the cops in Germany can control when to record and when not to, is a joke. It should be recording the whole shift to a server that the police does NOT control. Otherwise we are just continuing with the corruption, nepotism, and the cover ups that we every cop is succeptible to.
recording the entire shift and save it on a server wouldn't be legal. Just like it's not legal for emergency command centers to locate all the emergency vehicles in the area as it would be illegal monitoring at the workplace
@@bomber9912 Ok. In my experience with police and the justice system in general (I am not convict, just a concerned citizen) Having a bunch of fascists with badges and powerful handguns without any control (in my country of origin, the police oversees the police) is doomed to fail. It not necessary to comment further on what this means to the credibility of the police as an institution. Whenever a representative of the police is faces criminal charges, the conviction rate 0%, in my country of origin. They are either idiots, or they believe the citizens are idiots.
Greetings from Germany. great documentation. I love the German police, fire department, hospitals, it's a shame that something like that is hardly possible in America. too much racism on both sides. too many guns. but maybe someday. Hope dies last

wth? you are overreacting to someone spitting on a human. Yes, it is disgusting and also against the law in Germany. But you sound like you want to hurt anyone doing it without knowing the reason or asking what lead him/her to do that, so you ain't anywhere close with your mindset to like what the German police is doing. German Police try to always remain calm, de-escalating, meditative type of behaviour, sure you will get in trouble if you spit on them, but you won't get hurt, the law will punish you accordingly. Also where is there "domestic violence" in that 8:55 part? i assume you meant that instead of "domestic terrorism"
Jordan because in the UK/US the footage "disappears" when the officers contract comes under scrutiny. Brutality, inappropriate behaviour etc. #Cimebodge
My god the police is soooo polite , that's why there is no respect to police officers , if you treat someone with politness they will see it as a weak point . Be strict, not polite
It is an insult. Anybody can sue you for that. Also a policeman if he insists on it. It might cost you 100euros or a thousand depends. Probably it will just be ignored for its not worth it. There is a famous story about policemen got a foto of a woman speeding. They jumped out and one showed her three fingers. She saw it in the mirror and showed the one finger. The policeman sued her. Asked at court the policeman said she was to fast the ticket was 30 Euros so i showed her 3 fingers. The woman was asked and she said i had only 10 euros cash with me and i showed him that. And she went free without charge...
questionable is that they can shut their body cams of, and just saying that German police officers are not always lawful and respectful here in gy. Not as much as in other countries but, yk it’s a thing
I cant stand social discoarse! I dont want to hurt anybody, but I know, I have no shutoff switch if I have to engage a threat! But I will not tolerate social discourse! I live to create, build and fix! You cross that line, and I promise, I WILL HOLD YOU ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE AIR YOU DONT DESERVE TO POISON!
Yes. With repeated arrest the punishment becomes harder. We have a tenth of the people per capita in prison the USA has. And the return to prison rate is smaller. Being drunk and a bit rowdylike behaviour will give somebody maximum a night in jail until the alcohol is evaporated. Maybe a small fine on top.
I wish America had the law against flipping off Police, They will stop and give you a good chewing out but that all they can do mostly. Our problem seems to have made it to Germany (people not respecting Police) this is a old problem here, Went on since the mid 1950's, Teenage no good punks that think they know it all and are above any law, Now in the good ole days the Police could smack your mouth when you bad mouthed, But now.. The Police are nothing but polite in my city and for the most part people respect them.
In germany most people respect the police. the number of people not doing that is growing, though. hooligans who just search for a kick at the weekend. But also immigrants that come from countries with a violent police who do not respect the german police for being non violent.
In Kenya, each of our police officers will be equipped with a drone. That's what our president has promised us. It will be better than this I kid you not!

Much respect for these officers on the way they handle these situations. In the US a lot of these encounters could have ended with the officers shooting the suspects instead!
Because they are schooled in it. They have 3 years of training, with guns being only a small part. Mostly its the acuall laws and psycology for deescalation. Not like us where police training can be boild down to "bang bang suspect dead, succese"
Thank you officers for controlling your rage
No need to thank them, it's their obligation.

have you ever forgotten to record an incident?
and if so, do you believe that as a necessary type 1 error? i dont think so.....
Yes, most police officers are heroes. At least in the US and some other countries. The Mexican police are corrupt and criminal.

@@12tanuha21
yeah. Not as sinister as this black and blue stuff.
My heart goes out to those officers who put their lives on the line every day, this whole world is a wicked an ungodly place to live, if a police officer is a safe then who is.
U re exagerating a bit, police interacts with the marginal strata of any society more than other colectives but in most european countries the danger is low, the death related to working is low compared to other jobs, the one with most dead counts is construction in almost any country and u dont say they put their live on the line.... if u talk about work related health isues then construction comes first again (if u dont take mental isues into acount). U can chek the ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php?title=Glossary:Fatal_accident_at_work for more info.
Well if you are the law enforcement of a country you tend to clash more often with people breaking it, therefore you are more in danger then normal citizens. You should rather argue: "when a child isn't safe, who is?"
Man, Germany sounds like a wonderland to be honest. A country where people can behave. Wow.
German police 1940: Stop or we will shoot!
German Police 2019: Turns on camera
the cams should always be running since the police officers can just turn them off to their advantage
This is in Germany and not the US!!!
The uk one are always on and cant be turned off
I think always On can be bad, especially if/when the officers give you a warning or second chance, the always On camera already captured your identity.
Alex V what is that supposed to mean
xponen_ valid point
DW has an excellent coverage of wide topics and the content is also well handled in a limited time frame. Body cams for police officers is a must and that really brings in transparency on the human rights front. Someday in the near future I would definitely like to drop by at the DW office and the Local German police office when in Germany.
Wow, even in Germany policemans have unrespectful behaviour towards them. In Russia I could not imagine that
Sadly there are even stories where Soldiers from the Bundeswehr have been assaulted in public just because they wore their uniform.
yeah but in russia you get arrested for even mentioning the war, so ofcourse people are afraid.
@@xrecix I did not protect Russian police, it was just a fact)
I wonder why🤔🤔🤔🤔
I respect police work so much. It’s a very hard job to stay calm, collected and neutral in every situation, haha I idolize the people who are able to do so.
But on another matter, I grew up respecting our Polizei, but I will also step in if I see a situation of a police officer mistreating someone.
The holy middle, guys, the holy middle.
By the time a cop decides to turn on a bodycam that is not recording at all times, they missed out on recording the most important parts of the escalation.
i think the idea is not using it as a tool for incriminating ppl but as a disuasive measure to defend themselfs (like taking out a stungun), a unique aproach they say its usefull, couse it decresed violence in 50% in the doc here. Dont know if its true thought.
Bodycams use a Pre-Recording function. This includes additional 30 seconds before they are switched „on“.
That when you realize that Americans cops get away with a lot of stuffs.
2:00 so Olivier Giroud works as a policeman in his spare times?
Ich wünsche mir mehr Respekt und Achtung vor unserer Polizei.
Why allways brown and blacks are complain about racism when police it's trying to enforce the law?I think we need laws for people who make fals claims like that...It's not ok to call everyone a racist without a prof!
Really great show. This makes the German cops look really Great and professional, as is evidenced by the fact that they don't mind using the body cams for Their own protection, as compared to the American Police unions who fight being observed tooth and nail.
If I were a cop, I'm sure I would do my job bad-ass and would insist that everything be recorded so that I could get more commendations and pay raises, a opposed to being worried about concealing my criminality.
Has any city considered banning alcohol drinking on the streets and at ball games? You should do that in consideration of the police. In any case you guys look much more civilized than us in the US.
Most people dont trouble anyone drinking here in public. I dont think thats gonna change soon. Its just a cultural thing here. Small changes are made like banning any Glas Bottles at big events.
IMHO they should handle any (Sports-Event) violence very firmly its blocking whole entrances and trains when drunk idiots arrive/depart from our Main Train Station. Busses full of Police handling them.
Many random crimes against innocent people are done under alcohol and drugs influence annihilating any moral discernment, or even in a psychosis crisis produced by the consuming.

In the US, if you spit in a cop's face, you would get a beating at the very least, be arrested and charged with assault of a police officer. It is astonishing to me how lenient these police are and how much crap they take. It's certainly a difficult and thankless job.
Is it just me or the German police just seem good-lookingand fit?

Psyflier 🤣🤣🤣 yeah fuqin right!
@@jemand9122 7:43 das waren Schweizer, der eine hat den Polizisten den Mittelfinge gezeigt deswegen "Bad Boys"
why do the police have to inform they are recording if its out in public
Due to German privacy laws.
Well part of the job of the camera is to be visible in the first place. It is one thing to theoretically know, that there might be police camera running. Another to actually see the big visible unit and vest labels on the officer. So might be as simple as: We really really want people to know the camera is on scene, because that helps to moderate behavior.
It's good the German police state their intentions. The German police in this Documentary seem very professional and kind.
Germany is one party consent but both parties must be aware of recording
Cops shouldn't be able to switch cameras on & off. Such cameras are used in US & UK, & many times they record police bad behaviour.
BS in the UK. The cameras have pretty much destroyed claims against the police.
You can't compare Germany to the us and uk
Love how you're talking out of your ass. It depends on the camera, our counry leo and sheriff is always on (kinda like a sleep mode). No audio though until officers are confronted orbabout to be.
What is the handgun used by the police? Glock? usp?
That varies from state to state. In
Rhineland Palatinate the Police has actually the P99
P9 p99 usp fiveseven there differ from state and unit
But the generel service pistol is the p99
Wear a camera to change peoples behaviour, we dont need to change our behaviour, said the officer.
It's not allowed to flip off officers in Germany? Snowflakes.
Mmmm I wonder what's changed in Germany in the last 4 years for this to be the norm? I just cant seem to put my finger on it. When I grew up there it wasn't necessary, so what's changed??
I've heard a small bird whisper that demographic changes may have something to do with it. Not adjusted for socioeconomic factors :)

Well I'm pretty sure "right wing" crime rate has increased and prolly some immigrant gangs.
@@SussiestCat I see that you have swallowed the globalist kool aid :)
Its not a new debate. Germans are very "sensitive" about recording their stuff so it just takes much longer until local police can use it...I do not mind it personally.
Basically OP is one of those Troll comments.
When the troll commenter grew up...the technology to achieve bodycam usage for everyday police was just NOT feasible or possible.
Hmm I wonder why the rates increase in recent years 🤔🤔🤔
What rate?
Because of fear mongering from both sides in our society and the influx of undocumented migrants plus conflicts around europe and the rise of far right nationalists. More extreme violence on the left and right, poverty and pressure on middle class and low income population. Islamism, nationalism, xenophobia, racism, antisemitism and international conflicts on german soil. Broken promises by politicians and an overall dissatisfaction and insecurity in the society. Islamist and far right terrorism. Threats, attacks and homicide from the far right against liberal and conservative politicians, left-wingers, refugees, liberals, migrants, jews and muslims, germans with migration background and ordinary germans. Threats and attacks from the far left against neo-nazis, right wing politicians, right-wingers. That's why.
The Rate has decreased in the recent years lol Source: www.dw.com/en/crime-rate-in-germany-lowest-since-1992-but-seehofer-still-issues-stern-warning/a-43697232
See the difference between Europe and the US. In Europe they are afraid of the public and in the US is the exact opposite. Why is this exactly!!
That is nothing to boast about. A Society is supposed to be served and protected by the police and Never harmed. Maybe you need a passport to travel to a civilized society and you would know the difference.
The police provide service to the public hence why its called police service not police force the police in Europe are not paramilitary force like in America
it has to do with people, those in govt and those who vote in these govt like this kind of police in america.
IN AMERICA WE HAVE GUNZ, LOTS OF GUNZ😍 GIVE US MORE GUNZ!😝
That’s interesting and to be honest, somehow the least bit funny how IN 2022 IN Germany calling someone a NAZI is easily seen as a high level insult. 🤣👍🇺🇸❤️🇩🇪
I support the bodycams! I think they should be on at all times! Also the police should have to say it's being recorded! Also there really needs to be stronger punishment when you hurt an officer. People need to understand that the police don't make so much money and yet they are on the streets risking there own lives to keep people safe.
It's illegal to film in houses for example. Second the police officers are legally recuired to tell you that the camera is filming as stated in the documentary.
In Germany such people are called "Asis" which means: rude, narcisstic and not very smart people!
Jesus, that's not an enviable job.
German: es ist komisch zu hören wenn jemand auf deutsch Spricht und es auf Englisch übersetzt wird
English: it's strange to hear someone speaking in German and translating it into English
Just for the sake of dismissing the case of having " conclusive documents of crime" can be deep fake if the case is very seriously institutionalized or personally instigated injustice. OR if you have to avoid a millions dollar case,,,
German: I turned on my camera for my saftey
American: G U N
verbal abuse? thats a stupid crime.
Good to see, that peoples behaviour in such circumstances, change once they know they are being filmed.
It used to be the police persons word against the suspect. Now recording these things, leave no doubt, and makes the person think.
Its very logical that cameras affect both the police and the suspect, in how they interact with each other.
This was why i am all for cameras on police for years now. This shows, that once people know they are being recorded in such situations, people think, and act differently.
Its good that both the police persons and the suspects behaviour, is restrained mostly in such circumstances.
This works for both police, and suspects, like the police person admitted. Some times being a police person, he said, your human side comes to the surface, with the abuse they have to take. So it works for both, and best for everyone, that interactions between police, and civilians, are recorded.
Its a hard job being a police person, and so many people do not appreciate how much abuse these people have to take, in there interactions. They have probably seen it all, from all types.
Best thing for everyone, ie that police wear cameras, and have them on, and tell the civilian when they turn them on. Its nice to see how techs work for something positive, while techs are often used in negative ways.
Only the police there whom have experienced both without cameras, and with cameras, will be able to tell if these things work. Its nice to see they do have an effect.
The real term for police, is law enforcement, and this video shows how it should be done. Police cannot make correct rational decisions all the time, and its best for everyone, that there interactions are recorded with the public. Its good to see, the police say it has a positive effect on publics behaviour towards them.
You guys do realize that it's in the police best interest regardless of which country to portray itself in a positive light, or at least less evil than the people they prosecute.

Good job! LAW AND ORDER!
I always heared the stereotypical german officers to be aggressive and loud .... they seem calm
Strange the police officer says it is used in order to "try to influence the behaviour of the people we engage with". How about they are used to protect themselves and citizens by providing accountability for everyone!
Cameras don't stop cops being assaulted, they just help convict the perps.
Idk how similar it is in Germany to police in the United States but police here care about one thing, charging someone with the maximum amount of crimes so that the state can get the ‘criminal’ to plead guilty and get the most amount of money from them. I think it would go along way for police to meet them in the middle by being understanding. Instead of charging them with crimes, try to see what the root of the problem is. Sometimes it can be resolved easily and some others might just need medication. There will always be some that don’t care at all. Cops usually always outnumber someone and this provoked someone to immediately go on the defensive. A therapist in the group could significantly help resolve issues I know from first hand experience police treat suspects poorly, I was threatened because a cop reached in my pocket suddenly and got picked by a pen. “The next time I did that I would need to be taken to the hospital after” but “ that’s not a threat”. If I had said that to a cop but said it’s not a threat how would that go? The justice system, probably everywhere, needs to be reformed or violence and hatred will continue but our leaders don’t see a need for change. Locking people up solves the problem in their mind. More severe punishment doesn’t help either because most people don’t know the true ramifications for most offenses.
fifty years hmm. So your fine with all the mass shootings going on?
@@robertandrews6915 how are mass shootings the police's fault?

But can a civilian record cops?
Yes
Yes in any public space of course!
But you shouldn't get inbetween their Job.
You can record, but you cant stand in the way while doing it or film an accident victim because of Laws that protect the privacy of them. To be specific so you don't misunderstand, you are allowed to film an accident but after it happened you cant try to get close up to the human that got hurt and film him/her.

When they checked the teen the police somehow looked like the bad ones. There was no good reason to check the IDs or did I miss something?
German administrative offence law ( generally the same things in all EU): Stating False Names; Inadmissible Noice (fine up to 5000€); Public Nuisance (not to be confused with "Causing a public disturbance"); Total Intoxication; Keeping Dangerous Animals etc. Common sense.
In EU generally it's forbidden the alcohol consumption under 18 yo, but there are EU countries where they are selling alcohol to the 23 yo.
In Germany, the police are allowed to check your id for no particular reason. The law says it is done to protect the general public.
On the other hand, it is much harder for a German police officer to arrest someone than for an American police officer, for example.

in america cops wear cams ...for the safety of the public..to discourage police from commiting crimes...funny how backwards we are
I have been advocaing for this for years. Here in Denmark the police deny that there is a problem. Instead, as a compromise, the police wears a unique 4 digit identity number, so that individual officers can be singled out and identified in the many many cases of police violence. I believe that every single officer should wear a camera. The fact that the cops in Germany can control when to record and when not to, is a joke. It should be recording the whole shift to a server that the police does NOT control. Otherwise we are just continuing with the corruption, nepotism, and the cover ups that we every cop is succeptible to.
recording the entire shift and save it on a server wouldn't be legal. Just like it's not legal for emergency command centers to locate all the emergency vehicles in the area as it would be illegal monitoring at the workplace

It not necessary to comment further on what this means to the credibility of the police as an institution.

Needed German *responsibility* and *logic* and *maturity* are key. When it comes to immigrants misbehaving, remembering that they are from *very different* cultures and were obviously unfortunate and didn't receive a *quality upbringing.* *No one can have that held against them.* *All humans need education* in the social areas of life. We are *not educated in social skills* and *cultural expectations* and *relationship skills* inherently from being conceived or birthed. Since Germany, in general, doesn't like or appreciate or agree with certain aspects of certain cultures they welcomed into the country, responsibly and reasonably *they should not be expecting their ignorance and problematic attitudes to magically vanish.*
Germany, responsibly, should have not permitted their *legal immigration* into the country since the country's residents ignorantly and unfairly take issue with them instead of the *politicians who are the responsible parties for such.*
Now, there legally, the *immigrants need to be -- responsibly and mandatorily -- reeducated by the government* on *exactly what* is *acceptable* and *expected* and *not tolerated* and *illegal* (and the *reasons why* -- a *very necessary* and *important* point) in their new *home, just like an adopted child* or *pet would be.*
Now, Germans must take on civic duty and *bombard the politicians that they themselves have ELECTED* to *have created a reeducation programme* for past and present and future immigrants, and to *change* the current trade agreements which are connected to immigration (the possible numbers admitted in per year), and *trade laws,* and *most importantly* the *immigration laws* and *processes* and *procedures.*
Name-calling and other forms of thoughts and expressed elitism and/or hatred toward those who behave differently in ways that are unappreciated or unfair or dangerous or perceived as manacing *demonstrates illogical* and *reactive* immaturity, willful ignorance, impatience, irresponsibility, cognitive negativity, *arrogance, lack of knowledge of human psychology, lack of fair argument* and *mediation skills,* and the *abusive enabling of unreasonable misguided frustration* and rage.

It's illegal to give cops the finger in Germany? I do it in the US, and cops keep driving.
It is an insult. Anybody can sue you for that. Also a policeman if he insists on it. It might cost you 100euros or a thousand depends. Probably it will just be ignored for its not worth it.
There is a famous story about policemen got a foto of a woman speeding. They jumped out and one showed her three fingers. She saw it in the mirror and showed the one finger. The policeman sued her. Asked at court the policeman said she was to fast the ticket was 30 Euros so i showed her 3 fingers. The woman was asked and she said i had only 10 euros cash with me and i showed him that. And she went free without charge...

They do it because they know they will get away with a fine or community service. Punishments in Europe are too lenient.
Yes. With repeated arrest the punishment becomes harder. We have a tenth of the people per capita in prison the USA has. And the return to prison rate is smaller. Being drunk and a bit rowdylike behaviour will give somebody maximum a night in jail until the alcohol is evaporated. Maybe a small fine on top.
Just give them freedom for 10 minutes and pushers would be pushed back.
