Police in Europe are generally better trained than in most of the USA (not all) but the biggest thing is the gun laws. They don't generally have to worry about guns so are more relaxed when stopping people. More relaxed makes a friendlier experience.
It is different if as a policemen you don't need to expect every citizen to be armed with a gun. They engage you differently, because the risk of getting into a gun fight is nearly at zero in Germany for the police. The majority of officers never had to draw their gun while on duty until their pension.
Not really zero chance. Just recently two police officers got shot and killed during a traffic spot by a poacher. There is almost 6 million legal private owned guns in Germany and police being shot during traffic stops happens way too often, that’s why they usually approach the car from both sides so one officer will give cover to the colleague that does the paperwork check. however I agree the chances are way smaller than in the US.
I can't stop laughing :D Why would Police treat you different than a german? And you don't need to put your hands anywhere when you get stopped here in germany. If I remember correctly in the year 2012 the whole german police nationwide shot like 50 bullets in action in total, while in the US in the same year one guy was shot 72 times by police. European policing is about talking, helping and deescalation. Also police training is very different since the focus lies on social skills, because they're there to help you
@@davidpelc I think it's pretty much everywhere in Europe the same way how they treat you. Greetings to the Czech Republic! I was on vacation there for 2 weeks and it was so nice! So much hospitality, so friendly people, so much to see and the food! Oh my god the food... I will come back soon. There is so much more to explore about your country than i could explore in 2 weeks.
@@bobabier5394 I am happy you liked it here, but of course we are not perfect as any country is. But still we are quite, peaceful and relatively good country for living. ;)
Well, it´s a combination of various factors and at last of course a cultural thing. 1. In Germany, of course you are allowed to own a gun if you have a "clean vest". All you need is a membership in a shooting club or a hunting club, then taking an official lesson in gun laws, handling guns, etc., and then you get the permission to buy a gun. BUT!!! You will never get the permission for an open carry, unless you have the necessity caused by your job (law enforcement, bodyguards, security business etc.).The gun laws in Germany dictates you to transport your gun unloaded, seperated from ammunition, cased and locked. So the risk for a police officer to get endangered during a traffic stop is less than 1%. Most officers in Germany never had to even draw their weapon on anybody, and they´re glad to NOT need to. 2. German people are culturally more cooperative with authorities than they´re in the U.S. That alone makes encounters with the police more relaxed in the first place;-) 3. Vice versa, german officers need a high level of education for employment. If your educational level doesn´t match up with college status, there´s no chance for you to become an officer of law. The reason behind this is the training in german police academy. German police training is focused on handling people, not handling guns. It´s a politics of deescalation as long as possible. Therefor, german officers approach you in a calm and professional manner, even if you´re a little upset, just to calm you down, instead of pushing you even further until force is the only option left behind, like i´ve seen in sooo many videos about american traffic stops. 4. The usage of force, gun force in particular, for policemen in Germany is strictly regulated. Every single case of firearm usage would be investigated, no matter if justified or not. All those elements combined make those encounters safer, for the officers as well as for citizens.
You will simply not get a permission to *CARRY*, open or concealed. For that, you need to produce sufficient evidence of your life being threatened and that a gun would be an effective and necessary means of protection (and it's not necessarily bound to your job). See the case of the Hell's Angels member who accidentally shot a cop through a doorframe with a gun he *legally* owned.
Sometimes police even gives you a ride home when you are alone drunk on the sidewalk at night...depends on the conditions...in general they wouldn't allow you to put yourself in danger like that so if calling a taxi to deal with getting you home isn't an option they might just do it themselfs.
I like the article from a while back where the cops took a selfie with this kids phone after they put a young lad in bed once they got him home from a night out. Way different mentality than in the US.
When i was young back in the 70 s i use to go cycling in the dales and our local copper use to tell us if you cant get home go to ghe local police they'll let you sleep in one of the cells. dont think that will happen now
actually no one is going to prison unless doing a crime. driving too fast, insulting the officer, driving a totally broken car, driving drunk or with drugs and so on wont end with jail. stepping over the line will have consequences and some may realy hurt, but unless it is an actual crime it wont be prison.
I know there are two completely different right systems. in germany you are innocent until proven guilty. in USA, you are guilty until your innocence is proven jury courts are also completely outdated, only in America still totally in as long as policemen have to meet a quote, and you can earn money with "criminals" (private prisons) nothing will change
Germany has something similar to the American jury it is called Schöffengericht. www.justiz.nrw.de/Gerichte_Behoerden/ordentliche_gerichte/Strafgericht/verfahren/Verfahrensbeteiligte/schoeffe/index.php Innocent until proven guilty is allso a part of the American system. You can end up in jail in both countries for the time of investigation (Untersuchungshaft). Admittedly the practical execution of both laws differs very much.
People in America fear police. ‘Supporting law enforcement’ to me means : begging them not to find a reason to kill you. I’m sorry to sound so angry about American police but I had a very negative experience with police when I was just out in the downtown part of my hometown. I wasn’t doing anything illegal or suspicious. I simply was walking around town when a cop came up on me on his bicycle. He started asking me what I was doing and wanted to see my ID. When I started questioning him as to what was going on is when he became extremely irate. I was in handcuffs being searched rather quickly surrounded by several cops. I was told to “ Go home and don’t come back around here anymore “. I decided that I liked it around that area and I wanted sit around and enjoy the area. The same cop found me there again and threatened to arrest me and take me to jail for ‘suspicious behavior’ . I asked him several times what am I doing suspicious? He never answered that question. I sat there for at least a hour and when I made my point, I left. I wanted that cop to arrest me. I wanted to see him at court trying to explain this to a judge. Police need to learn that my experience is a example of why so many people don’t like police.
Having alcohol in the car is completely legal. You can even drink a beer while driving as long as you stay below the allowed alcohol blood concentration. However this might lead them to check your blood alcohol
Yes friend and helper, these guys and ladies do a rough job ,and i as a german do appreciate dankbar . As a kid i learned whenever you get into any trouble call the police. They are great ladies and guys protecting us,helping us.Danke deutsche Polizei,na j manchmal nervt ihr,aber ihr seid cool
The best traffic stop for me was in east Germany before the wall came. I stopped for my wife to use the bathroom it was a red zone within seconds the police was there issuing me a ticket that has to be paid immediately. After I paid the fine the officer clicked his heels and saluted me….. seeing that was worth the cost of the ticket 😊
I’ve lived in the US for a few years, currently in Germany for a few as well. 1. I call massive BS on “used to Autobahn speed”. If your husband is German there no way he was accidentally speeding where you locally live.. It’s very obvious when you are or aren’t on open sections on the actual autobahn. Unless he was driving well over the 100km/u Limit will the German police bother to pull you over.. 2. What happened to you in the US to have a instinctive reaction like that. Feels over dramatized to instantly go in panic mode. and Why would you want to hide that you’re not German. if you, are local you would even be able to get away with getting your ID if you happen to forgotten it at home. Or you just get a ticket for not being able to ID. You aren’t driving... so you didn’t even matter. 4. Sure policing in Western Europe is more focused on helping and reaching you to not do certain things again. Especially with you husband being German.. you should know better since you actually live and work here. Then again, I’m Baden-Württemberg so maybe people are much different in the east. 5. I speak decent German, but I’ve never been treated worse or badly for not being german. Even if I spoke English 2 seconds before. If anything people respect it much more that you switch to German or at least be understandable when they know your aren’t German.
Don't be mistaken, your 'friend and helper' might easily transform into your 'pain and nightmare' if you screw up badly, but yes, in normal cases they usually are 'Freund und Helfer'. And in bigger cities at night times, you might indeed be asked, to put your hands where they can be seen, if they think something mischievous might be going on.
The part where she said "Of course I support law enforcement!" got me ROFL. It's like she acknowledges the possibility that a US cop she encounters in the future might act like a dick simply because he or she might not like the content of this video and she is pre-emptively de-escalating a potential problem. It is so funny how Americans feel compelled to pledge alegiance to the USA on a daily basis "I pledge allegiance to the Flag..., I support the troops, I support the police,... I support the DMV,... I support the IRS,... the guys at the Department of Agriculture are nice people too..." 🤣🤣🤣
Like so much, the police in Germany are better than in the US. The training lasts approx. 36 months (in some federal states this may vary slightly upwards and downwards). In Germany, these trigger-happy American chaos, which one knows from the news, have no chance to become a policeman. The fact that policemen are educated in the USA on average only 4 months, is probably due to the poor education itself in the US. You can probably learn this rather than training call.
Its sad that being pulled over by the police illicits a fear response. Being Dutch, I can't relate to that at all and it is not normal and not how it should be. Police should be the people that make you feel safe with their presence and who help you and you can rely on. There is something wrong if the citizens are afraid of the police. I think there are multiple reasons for it. Due to gun ownership in the USA, US-police *have* to treat people as more of a potential threat, which makes the encounter less friendly from the get-go. Another reason is that US-police only receive 21 weeks of training. In Germany training takes 2 to 3 years. I think if gun ownership were more strict and if training were more elaborate, a lot would improve for the USA in this regard.
German Basic Law (=German Constitution) Article 1 [Human dignity] (1) Human dignity shall be inviolable. To respect and protect it shall be the duty of all state authority. (2) The German people therefore acknowledge inviolable and inalienable human rights as the basis of every community, of peace and of justice in the world. (3) The following basic rights shall bind the legislature, the executive, and the judiciary as directly applicable law.
Huge difference in police Academy 2 - 3 and + years of education and training vs 21 week Academy . And weapon law , in Germany (Entire Europe) no one can have a weapon for self defence.. its ridicous.. unless you are hobby hunter or similar.. with clean past and psycho test.
The only thing Germans fear If someone takes away their beer. No serious most Germans are in general law abiding citizens who respect the traffic code and expect other drivers to do the same. Hence unlimited speeds on some sections of the Autobahn.
As a German I dont like the Freund and Helfer term. It’s misleading. Police in Germany serves the law and has to be neutral in every situation. A police officer who formed a heart symbol with his hands during a gay parade was investigated for his political attitude. Officers wearing rainbow colors during an LGBTQ parade like in the UK is unthinkable here. Still, sometimes they will help you more than what they are required to by law that’s true
You're right. "Die Polizei dein Freund und Helfer" (traditional slogan of the German Police). Just for the records: If there's a speed limit and you're < 20Km/h faster as allowed you'll be fined with a "Bußgeld" that could be up to 80€. If you're > 20 Km/h over the speed limit you'll have to pay more (see the link below), and start to collect "points" which in the end means that your driving license could be (temporarily) terminated. www.bussgeldkatalog.org/geschwindigkeitsueberschreitung/
You know that in the USA the policie is f* up if young Americans react like that to police abroad. :) The fine is the punishment, if deemed necessary (if you are lucky the cop just wants to have a chat), there is no reason for the cop to be unfriendly and here in Europe most cops aren't assholes who are poorly trained and who love to use their gun or taser. Don't get me wrong, in some countries (Norway, Sweden) they do a much better job at training the police than in others (the Netherlands/Belgium) but at least 9 months is the minimum and there is continued training, in the USA you become a cop after 6 weeks of training and there is no psychological test whatsoever. Gruße aus den Niederlanden.
that´s funny. she cant belive it :D i saw some us cop videos here on youtube...of course they show only the most extreme cases to get views. but i can kind of undertand it after seeing those cops go full RAMBO style on people.
Das ist nicht in allen Bundesländern so, es gibt keine einheitlichen Regelungen und üblicherweise sind nur geringe Summen bis 35 Euro vor Ort zahlbar, liegen die Bußgelder höher, ist eine Überweisung notwendig.
I mean speeding isnt a major offence and the policmen here are teached to always greet you with respect (respect for eachother calms down situations alot) and on the otherhand react with the force neccesary and speeding is a very minor offence ... not evenb a real offence but a "Ordnungswiedrigkeit" which is normaly just a rather small fine.
4:10 thats to some extent wrong/right. you cant give cash money to a policeofficer. its forbidden for obvious reasons. germans get a bank transfer form. only exeption, if you are a foreigner you must pay cash, again for obvious reasons, if you cant pay you they wont let you go until you got the money somehow. this can be a big pain in the butt. not funny
You can pay cash but you don't have to if you think you are treated unfair / not according to the law. Sometimes its even cheaper to pay cash. Otherwise there would be a formal act that would cost an extra fee. You get a receipt of course. My brother works for the Autobahnpolizei and they take credit cards right away. ;)
You can give Cash to the Office, but i think IT only works when your speeding ticket is Not more then 35 euro. Because with more then 40 euro the money will BE going to the county and not to the federal State.
filmste quer, siehste mehr!
In Germany you do not get shot for speeding.
This show how brutalized USA nowadays is.
Something's really going wrong on the other side of the Pond. It is absurd to call it "land of the free", when living in fear of authorities.
The only people who say that are those still living in their bubble.
@@mikefraser4513 Who do you mean by "people"?
Absolutely! American freaks out, german does not. We dont have to...
Just my two cents: If you are scared of the police, then there is something wrong with your life or the country you are living in.
Police in Europe are generally better trained than in most of the USA (not all) but the biggest thing is the gun laws. They don't generally have to worry about guns so are more relaxed when stopping people. More relaxed makes a friendlier experience.

"Putting on a serious face." Lulz.

Auch hier gilt: Wie man in den Wald hinein ruft ….

You should get deported back to the US for not recording in landscape mode.
The difference between German and American police... oh the irony.
Why irony?

4:10 thats to some extent wrong/right. you cant give cash money to a policeofficer. its forbidden for obvious reasons. germans get a bank transfer form. only exeption, if you are a foreigner you must pay cash, again for obvious reasons, if you cant pay you they wont let you go until you got the money somehow. this can be a big pain in the butt. not funny
You can pay cash but you don't have to if you think you are treated unfair / not according to the law. Sometimes its even cheaper to pay cash. Otherwise there would be a formal act that would cost an extra fee. You get a receipt of course.
My brother works for the Autobahnpolizei and they take credit cards right away. ;)
Wouldn't it be something if they took Travers cheques ? :-)
of course u can pay Cash. done that several times. ..
You can give Cash to the Office, but i think IT only works when your speeding ticket is Not more then 35 euro. Because with more then 40 euro the money will BE going to the county and not to the federal State.
😂 lol
Geesh, stop rambling and get to the point .
americans....(is she on speed??)
