You must know Germany is not an Island like the UK. We are in the heart of Europe. We border 9 countries. Therefore lots of foreigners driving thru Germany. And it is the experience of the police that with many foreign cars (mostly eastern Europe) something can be wrong. So it's like profiling but not like in the US. Skin colour doesn't matter. It's more like look 2 young man in a car without insurance, let's check. Same for lory driver. If you see a polish numberplate you can be sure to 79 % that something is not allowed at this truck like tyres without enough profile and so on. ...Aaaand you can get pulled over for no reason. It's just a regular control.
@@stephangruhne3958 Das ist falsch. Die Verkehrspolizei kann und darf dich zur Kontrolle jederzeit und ohne Grund anhalten, selbst wenn denen einfach langweilig ist. Dafür braucht es nicht mal ne allgemeine Verkehrskontrolle. Genauso wie die Ausweiskontrolle ohne Grund erfolgen darf. Allerdings ist das auch schon Alles. Jegliche weitere Kooperation Deinerseits kann abgelehnt werden, sei es die Auskunft was du da machst, die Einsicht ins Auto oder auch irgendeinen Test mitzumachen. Das heißt aber nicht, dass das ohne Konsequenzen bleibt.
@@stephangruhne3958 Das ist schlichtweg falsch. Verdachtsunabhänge Kontrollen sind z.B. im Rahmen einer Schleierfahndung jederzeit möglich oder 50km im Umfeld der Grenze oder um internationale Flughäfen.
You didn't get it but the moment the accident happened they called the ambulance. But they used the term rtw wich is short for the German word for ambulance so the translator got it wrong Also the ambulance WAS there just parked behind the fire truck. And of course the thief was examined before was taken to the police station. And The driver without insurance, the police did check the license plate and got the message no insurance. So that's why they stopped him. And why they are checked the plate is because of experience, so they know who should be checked Oh BTW the reason why all the suspects where non Germans is because they where at the border region. The thief was from Ukraine by the way
@user-ys8kl7hp8h I suspect that they check a lot of license plates just like that. I can even imagine that an AI does it automatically now. If not, then that will surely come soon.Facial recognition is not legal just like that, but as far as I know license plate falcons are not covered by the same protection. Saving the locations and times of all scanned license plates is of course not possible. A live message saying "there's something wrong with that" does, however.
Makes me wonder how long it actually takes to "run a plate". If its a matter of seconds, then someone with good typing skills and a laptop can run pretty much every plate they see around them on the streets.
The Police are not allowed to "randomly" check number plates. Each inquiry in ZEVIS (Central Traffic Information System) must be justified with a file number/occurrence reference or the reason for the inquiry. Experienced Traffic Police Officers are trained to look out for certain features on the cars themselves or licence plates, which - as they are not stupid - they will not disclose to members of the public.
"Why is it always a foreign person?" - The first police chase with the accident was in direction of the german/polish border (the man tried to get that stolen car as quickly as possible out of Germany to sell it in Poland or traffic it further into eastern Europe). In the case of that polish woman without license - she was controlled by the border police on the german/czech border on her way back from Poland. And the third traffic control of that bulgarian guy was on the autobahn Nürnberg (Germany) to Linz (Austria). - Since Great Britain is an island you just don't have such transit and land border situations there..
The Polish woman probably had a Polish licence. So if she commits a traffic violation in Germany, she is only disqualified rom driving in Germany, but may keep her licence and use it in other countries. If she had a German licence, the document would have been confiscated on her disqualification outright and she would not have been able to produce the licence document. Doesn't make a difference in terms of legality of driving, it is "driving without a licence" either way, which (unlike simply failing to produce the licence document) is a serious criminal traffic offense.
Don’t worry, Dwayne. In Germany even criminals get immediate medical help when they cause an accident. :) You saw the ambulance when the police officer stepped in. A doctor was also there.
Honestly, I'm slightly annoyed by Dwayne because even if the subtitle was incomplete, you could clearly see the ambulance and the paramedics multiple times but he kept ignoring it. These are all professionals. There's no need to tell them what to do.
The ambulence is there... you can see the car in which he is checked in the video round about at 19:52 for instance. Before that there was a doctor checking him too who ordered him into the ambulance car.
There's several reasons, why they ran the plates. Germany is a major transit country and the Autobahn is the most frequented amongst all within Europe. Therefore all kinds of crime connected networks use it. Narcotics, human trafficking, smuggling, etc. The police see's any vehicle as suspicions and randomly check plates. The appearance of drivers plays a role of course. Racial profiling is a sensitive topic, but it is more complex than the general public would like it to be. People are not simply being picked out only due to their ethnicity. Multiple aspects of behaviour, appearance, as well as personal experience as an investigator are more relevant. There are some Police units in different parts of Germany, who are known for having racism issues, but generally they're professional and respectful if you are as well.
To start with, the car was reported as stolen... 10:18 They already sad they called a RTW (Rettungswagen // Ambulance), so it's en route.. 15:00 She got stopped because it seems the was caught DUI once and should actually not be allowed to drive (when her drivers license would be a german one, she would have lost it at least temporary..).
@Dwayne'sLens Hey Brit, relax and don't speculate so strangely. This is Germany, every criminal and every foreigner gets a first class service icluding full scale medical examination and treatment. The fire engines of the volunteer fire departments are often stationed near the motorway entrance. The ambulance has a longer journey here. Both were alerted at the same time.
A car with no insurance passsed them (they checked his plates when it was driving by). Driving without insurance is against the law and the car must not drive on german public roads - at all. They are the police and have to apply the law. Thats why they stopped him, to ask and double check the insurance. And yes the first info was right, it was not insured. But everyone was quite chill - so I dont see the Issue. And towards the "allways foreingers" - germany has many neighbouring contries - something you on an island maybe cant understand ;) We even allow people from neighbouring contries to live and work here - it is called EU... And so many foreign people are on the roads. But some dont know or cant or dont take the laws seriously. So they flare up more often. Germany has some of the most strict rules and some people dont inform themselves before they drive to another country - especially when it is only a transit country for them (e.g. from Bulgaria to Denmark)...
You should know that there are so-called traffic surveillance cameras that monitor traffic flow, detect traffic jams, and document accidents. These cameras can also capture license plates and cross-reference them with databases to identify stolen vehicles or vehicles without valid insurance or registration. When the computer detects such a vehicle, it passes the information on to the officers. That's how they arrived at those cases. The police don't like this being mentioned in documentaries so that the offenders don't know how they were caught. However, this isn't a secret. This surveillance has nothing to do with race or anything like that
It was a car thief being arrested, he obviously stole the car and drove into a restricted 🚫area of the Autobahn, where you can be limited to a speed to between 80 k/ph (km/h) and 60 k/ph (km/h), due to works being conducted in that stretch. Going by the speedometer of t police car, he was driving into the ‚Baustelle‘ at 165 km/h…which is approximately 103 miles per hour! So him no being German, that is a red flag….we sed to have a saying in Germany after reunification: Come to Poland, your car is already here!
So I‘m only 18 min into the video, so he is Ukrainian, not Polish….but I suppose…after all these years, the eastern Criminals have moved further East…24 years old and not fighting for his country, but risking his life on the Autobahn! A knee contusion was all he received…I‘d have liked him to get the full 10 years the German law accounts for this delict
@@lynnm6413the police officer is the one with the knee contusion... The Ukrainian guy "just" bumped his head a little and has some bruises there. They said that probably the airbags saved his life.
@@josefineseyfarth6236 missed that…sorry, but thanks, I was reading comments alongside listening to the video, my bad! I‘m getting quite annoyed at the special regulations the Ukrainian refugees are granted by Germany…my neighbor‘s son, who has found refuge with his uncle who moved to Denmark 22 years ago just spent two weeks at his mother‘s to have 4 teeth taken care of in Osnabrück! First off, he is 24 and should be helping in Ukraine, and secondly, why hasn‘t he been taken care of his teeth in Denmark, where he has been living for 2 years?! Merz doesn’t SEEM TO HAVE BEEN THIS WRONG IF OUT OF 3 Ukrainians I get to witness this firsthand!
@@lynnm6413 yes, it's a shame that Ukrainians are treated so much better than any other refugees. There should be the same rules, benefits and rights in place for everyone. Tbh, I don't trust Merz. Wie wir in Deutschland sagen: "Der redet viel, wenn der Tag lang ist." Especially now, just days before the federal elections in Thuringia, Saxony and Brandenburg, he says everything that the people want to hear. But his only goal is for the CDU to become the strongest party both in the federal states as well as in the entire country. If he gets into power, he will surely forget about his promises, as CDU politicians always did (except for Schmidt maybe). I've come to the conclusion that, if we want a change and if we want less illegal migration, if we want our country back the way it was, there's no way around the AfD...
the police are randamly cheking the licens plade on the autobahn. thats how there figured out that there is somthing wrong. You can see in the system if the driving license (of the owner) is valid and if they have insurence.
There are certain types of cars that are checked more frequently. A Volkswagen Golf is checked more often because many accidents happen with it. For example.
"Why did they stop that particular person?" --> because his car was not insured! They couldn't know where the owner was from. --> German car with german number plates. They only knew who the owner was after it came up as "not insured" and they the checked for the owner, who also is a german resident... There is loads of people from other countries (mostly other EU countries) working, living and driving in Germany, some with cars registered in Germany, but many with cars registered in their home country. Since many other countries don't have a central traffic register like germany and also somewhat more lax technical checkups etc. it's a statistical fact, that lots more people from certain countries have insurance problems or other offences on their cars. That's why of coure police tends to check those... In Germany it's very very hard to have a car with numberplates that isn't insured...
yes, you can register a car only when you have a valid insurance, and when it is no longer valid, the previous insurance reports that. thus it's pretty easy to check for cars with a german registration (number plate) whether there is something wrong already before stopping the car, and if there is nothing wrong nobody will know that it was checked. if an insurance expires and the car is not de-registered, police can also easily find the owner and ask him directly at home. but when the car is from other countries, this is more difficult to verify and thus foreign cars are stopped and then checked "on location" apparently a lot more frequently than german cars. and as others already have said, the UK can easily check people and cars that enter and leave their country, in contrast to all continental Schengen-countries that no longer have fixed border controls. thus of course there have to be random checks in border regions, and those checks primarily target foreign people and their cars and not locals. without knowledge about facts and background, claiming all those negative things from watching one such report is imho at least a bit "hasty", especially when it is not only one among many questions, but is repeated over and over, reminding me of tucker who used to say "i don't accuse anybody, i only ask questions". therefore no like at all this time
They check the licence plates of cars they see in the computer while driving on the motor way. If the computer says "something is odd" they will stopp them. Nothing special here. You always have to see it like this: We see one driver being pulled out, but there are thousands of cars with many other drivers (foreigners and non-foreigner) which are not pulled over.
Dear Dwayne, just because you don't see any German road users/checks doesn't mean that they aren't being checked. I'm astonished that you automatically blame the police. It wasn't the police who told the car thief to steal cars in Germany, speed and endanger others. The same goes for driving without a license, etc. Anyone who wants to live and drive here has to abide by our rules!! I can't hear any more of this CRAP about foreigners...🤨 Abide by our laws and rules and don't endanger anyone!
the main point here is that from 10 cars probably 9 are German .. they also get checked but it is just not very likely that they aren't in compliance with the rules ^^
There is really no need for you to be so defensive/offensive (or is there?). The content creator never said any of the things you are implying, such as that foreigners wouldn't have to abide by German law or that the police told the first guy to steal a car. Literally nobody says that. You are making up arguments that do not exist. All he said was that the first guy needs a medical checkup before police questioning, which is correct by German law and that racial profiling should not happen, which is also in accordance with German regulations. He says the police do a good job SEVERAL times, but they are still just human. They make mistakes and mistakes need to have consequences, police are not exempted from that. And that is critical for a state of law, like Germany. So yeah, whatever you are defending, it doesn't seem to be the German constitution.
When the accident happend, same second, you can hear them say, he had accident, please send RTW (Ambulance). They secured the suspect in their car until the RTW got there, and have him checced of course directly.
Hi Dwayne, the ambulance is a little bit hard to see, but it's standing right behind the fire truck. It was called right at the moment of the crash - this got lost in the subtitles, though.
All these events seem to be occurring near the border. That's obviously something you don't have on UK motorways, except perhaps in Northern Ireland. The police are primarily looking for drug smugglers, weapons smugglers and people taking stolen cars over the border. For this purpose it is legal for them to run number plates without any concrete suspicion. The system then shows them if the car is stolen as in the first case, but also other information, such as the registered keeper not being allowed to drive, or the car not being insured. The 'fruit of the forbidden tree' doctrine is so weak in the German legal system as to basically not exist at all, so there is absolutely no problem with acting on such a by-catch. The fact that they are operating near the border and looking specifically for people crossing the border also explains why they are catching so many foreigners. It would probably be different on regular patrols further inland, but they would also be far less interesting to a TV team. I am not saying there is no racial profiling going on there at all, but it's not the full explanation here; perhaps not even the main one. One of the worst cases of racial profiling was the case of a dark-skinned native German who was subjected to ID checks at Frankfurt Main Station several times a week by police looking for illegal African immigrants. Even after our Constitutional Court decided that that's illegal, German police is continuing like that. And of course it makes little sense to perform ID checks on light-skinned old women when the vast majority of illegal immigrants that the police are looking for are young, male and dark-skinned. What I find really outrageous is that the police in Frankfurt apparently did nothing to ensure they weren't harassing the same person over and over. In my opinion, with this kind of controls they have to ensure that basically the same officers are working in the same location at the same time, and that these officers are neither stupid nor racist douche bags. So that the same members of the public who happen to fit a pattern aren't controlled more often than necessary. Being greeted nicely on your way to work by always the same cop is a lot better than having to show your identity card to a different cop every day, or worse, to the _same_ obnoxious douche bag every day.
The women without license: What you should know is that 'When you get your license revoked, you can do a license in another country and get the EU license. Through a EU laws loophole, that allows you to drive again wherever you lost your license" has been advertised and promoted for over a decade. It's not true, of course, but that also pops up whenever you search information on how to get your license back. And its one of those myths that aren't too unrealistic. There's lots of EU laws and regulations that supersede national laws, most people don't know where EU laws apply and where not. It is quite possible that she actually believed she was allowed to drive again in Germany. DUI with alcohol is more or less a minor offense. Up to 0.5 promille blood alcohol is a legal drive, she likely would have gotten her license back relatively easily without that EU license scam.
She didn’t get her license revoked. The license was a polish one and therefore can only be revoked by a polish authority. She just was banned from driving in Germany. This ban does not apply to any other country, be it Poland, Denmark the US or Russia.
Normal law enforcement - it's the robber who chose to drive too fast and play hazardous with his live and not to forget destroy other unknown citizen's property!
basically when they called out the acident on the radio the ambulance and doctor! are instantly sent, it's by the same team that sends the fire services, but with many volunteer services around they are often faster than the ambulance also not that there was an emergency doctor on site
The scenes shown here are from the state of Bavaria, where automated license plate recognition and comparison is permitted. This is done in seconds by the vehicle itself and so any irregularity pops up for the officers. So it's not as if they look into the vehicle and say "the driver looks like a foreigner, let's check him"
The problem is that it is not his car. He stole it and when the police chased him, he freaked out and tried to get around his sentence by crashing the car and trying to run away.
1 guy was Ukrainian driving a stolen car. It was unclear if he stole the car himself or if he only was the driver to drive the car to Poland (and maybe to Ukraine). After the accident the police immediately called for an RTW (RettungsTransportWagen) = ambulance. Later the officer told he was checked by a doctor i.e they also called for a Notarzt (doctor specialised on emergencies). 2. Polish woman (residency in Germany) was controlled because in the past she drove without a license and under the influence 1.63 per mille / 0.163% (lthe egal limit for a felony is upwards of 1.1 per mille). Now she has the car registered under her name (totally legal!) and the officers checked her identity. She now has a Polish license and can drive everywhere except Germany. She has a ban (not allowed to get a German license) and would have been obliged to undergo an MPU (Medizinisch-Psychologische Untersuchung, vulgo Idiotentest) = medical-psychological examination, which is standard for all alcohol/drug-related felonies in traffic. She didn't do this and is therefore not permitted to drive in Germany despite a valid Polish license. My guess is she knew what she was doing as she drove through Czechia (and therefore as long as possible NOT in Germany) and hoped she wouldn't get caught while flowing with traffic. 3. Bulgarian, again with permanent residence in Germany. Most likely hasn't paid his insurance premium. If the car was parked somewhere he'd get a neon-red sticker on the windshield. If possible the police make the owner move the car to private grounds. But driving an uninsured car is a serious offense i.e. The INPOL police database had an entry "no insurance".
The guy at 19:38 with the yellow/red jacket/pants is the medic. The Transporter at 19:47 with the "112" on the side is the ambulance. So the driver has been examined for sure as well as the police officer. All standard procedure before moving a patient anywhere else AFAIK.
9:53 "I hope he's not British" Dude, he's not British. He's driving a stolen car on the Autobahn from Berlin to Warsaw (Poland) - that's some Eastern European guy.
19:10 Germany is a transit country. Our highways are full of people traveling through etc. Of course, this is also because it is in the heart of Europe. But we also have some stricter rules than other countries. 21:05 The driver was examined immediately by a paramedic from the fire department and before the police officer went into the ambulance, a paramedic was with the injured driver at the police car.
Regarding the foreign drivers or people not speaking german: Germany borders nine countries, so there's a lot of border traffic and it is sat in the middle of Europe so there's a lot of transit of cars/trucks from all over Europe. That's the reason the autobahn police when controlling/stopping cars often meet people who don't speak a word of German. Then the base of communication is usually english. Doesn't mean that person has to be british..
9:07 Here they say that they called the ambulance (Police use the German abbreviation "RTW" which means "Rettungswagen", literally: "rescue wagon" = ambulance, RUclips translation doesn't understand that) 16:21 There are two vehicles behind the fire truck. The rear vehicle is a typical ambulance. I'm not sure about second vehicle, maybe an emergency doctor or paramedic operations management? 19:46 Here you can see a close-up of the ambulance ...
30:40 They already said it, "undercover investigation", or gambling as a specialist. 😉 These guys spend years to theire jobs and apparently love it! Thank you for reacting Dwayne`s Lens! hope you are fine too!? 👍
@@gwalshgwen ahh common, I agree lots of things are totally messed up by rules they don’t make sense or are complicated but lots of rules make sense and are necessary to live together
Always brake before the curve and then accelerate out of the curve. The "concentric circle", basics at driver training. A mistake that I see again and again in US high-speed pursuits.
You have a marker on your back license plate that shows, that you have a insurance on your car. the Bulgarian had no insurance marker, so they pulled them out...
A friend of my father was a highway patrol officer for 30 years, and according to him, high-speed chases at 200-250 kph (120-155 mph) were not uncommon, unfortunately including fatal accidents. Once during his 30 years of service, he was shot. He was involved in accidents several times, and once his vehicle was intentionally rammed off the road at nearly 150 kph. The police car rolled over multiple times, and he and his colleague had to undergo emergency surgery. He was unfit for duty for four months but only retained scars (the perpetrator was sentenced to 12 years in prison for attempted murder and other offenses, if I remember correctly). Here in the Northwest, everything seems so peaceful and quiet, but drug gangs that are extremely dangerous operate near the Dutch border. He retired at 56 after almost 35 years of service with the police, and half a year later, during his well-deserved retirement, he had a heart attack and died. As a child, I always thought of the action series "Alarm für Cobra 11" and how exciting his daily life must be, but of course, TV series with countless stunts, crashes, and thrilling scenes are totally exaggerated.
According to your question what made the Police suspicious in the case of the not insured car = Nothing. BUT that police patrol was controlling - the border area which is basically a permanent grid square area - and therefore the police patrols do especially there close to the border most frequently random sample elections of random cars just for checking as many licence plates as possible...that´s all. Further afar from the border that very likely wouldn´t had happened to those Bulgarians, because they didn´t drive suspicious at all, because further afar from the border police patrols just controll cars who are driving suspicious or too fast or cars which look like models which they are looking for/are wanted
The two checks of the foreigners were random, they did a Schleierfandung, a covert search, which means they can randomly select and check anyone. In this case, that means they randomly select license plates and run them through the computer if they notice anything. They select them randomly, but also as many as possible. They drove relatively close to the eastern border, where many foreigners drive. Also, the highway they were driving on starts behind the border, and so it is not unusual to select foreigners. Germany is a transit country, most people who come from Eastern Europe have to go through Germany to get to Western Europe, so the roads are full of Eastern Europeans. Both cars were registered in Germany, by the way, so they did not know who was in them before they checked the license plates. I am not saying that there is no racial discrimination in Germany, but in this case it is probably more of a coincidence.
1,63 promille alcohol in blood and driving without driving licence at once... Angels act different... And acting with 1,63 promille especially as a woman tends to be a heavy alcohol consumer. Good luck at the MPU (medical-psychological investigation). Those psychologist performing the interrogations during the MPU are very, very skilled. It would be a tough investigation. And most people wouldn't pass the MPU without any (expensive) preparation and training in the first place.
The yellow dressed people were the paramedics, one of them a doctor. They diagnosed that the Ukrainian needs no further treatment and the slightly injured policeman was patched up. You could have a small glimpse into the paramedic van. It is optically not so impressive as in other countries.
I'm pretty sure that they are allowed to run any license plate they want in germany, so nothing suspicious about that And also: no there is not many people that drive uninsured in germany, because you won't get your license plates unless you got proof of insurance
12:45 Wasn't this episode specifically regarding highways connecting to neighboring countries to show situations by the border? By that I guess it makes sense
As far as I know this is not an accurate documentation. It is entertainment. Sometimes things are re-enacted, gaps in stories are filled with made up stories and things are presented more dramatically.
The number of transits in 2020 for HGVs from EU countries amounted to 7,477,000 journeys. In contrast, the total number of entries and transits in 2020 for all EU countries amounted to 20,467,000.4 This results in a share of transits through Germany of around 36.5 percent. over 1/3 The average daily traffic volume of all foreign cars on German freeways was 2,424 cars / 24 hours. This means that around 6 percent of the vehicles driving on German freeways come from abroad. These foreign cars cover around 11.196 million vehicle kilometers [million Of course foreign trucks also drive to the UK (although not as many cough), and foreign tourists by car, but that is in no way comparable to Germany.
Not jumping to conclusions but the first conclusion was that they didn't called the ambulance on the ukrainian driver, second conclusion was that the woman had to be a serious criminal, third conclusion that they picked only that car on their whole shift even when they would have checked every car they passed but wasn't shown cause there was no reason to put it on TV.
They were on patrol for routine controls. Their car is equipped with a camera system to scan number plates. The recognized number gets sent to a central computing system for a check and if that check finds an irregularity the officers will be notified. That's happeneing within a few minutes and provides only enough information to the officers to know that a case is a candidate for a more thorough inspection. Regarding insurance everybody is required to have a valid liability insurance for traffic and the vehicle. That requirement has to be observed strictly. That doesn't apply to Germany only but also for Austria, Switzerland and I assume that it's not much different in the Netherlands, Denmark, and most other West European countries. To be fair the vast majority of our neighbours in the east know and respect those rules. It's certainly not difficult to get such basic information. Maybe some are really naive and think that there won't be controls and that they can get through with ignoring them. However due to the serious consequences eg. of a missing car insurance in case of an accident German police is handling such violations quite strictly.
It is very suspicious that only people with a migration background are shown, I agree. Above all, you only see those who have something wrong. That suggests to the viewer that it must be like that for everyone. All those without any complaints, which is probably the vast majority, are not shown. But that is due to the editing of the show and that is what the viewer wants to see in order to have their prejudices confirmed.
Yeah i understant you, i know one of that kind of british shows here in german TV (that one with mal cecurities/kriminality in britain) & i love to watch it too to see whats ging on there & how they fix it. ^^
you didn't see it, but in one scene you see the paramedic at the police car in the background checking the ukrainian guy before he even checked the police officer. We should have the similar standard procedures as in every good first world country ... in the legislative, judicative and executive branch of the law. Please relax, it's all done and it's in the vid ... XD
"The highly motorised camera vehicle" lol. So instead of 150hp the camera vehicle probably has 190hp. Also, what the police is doing here is criminaly dangerous. Their number one priority should be to cause no bodily harm to anyone and what are these crazymen doing? Waving thru traffic at blazin speeds they should all be fired and prosecuted. Insane. Because of a stolen car whos driver probably is just racing because hes followed by police. Its not like the thief murdered someone or is actively sooting at random this is just about a very replaceable car and nothing else.
There are several reasons why they check and stop cars ... Firstly, they look for anything that is strange, this can be the condition of the car or anything that doesn't fit the person of the driver (e.g. a very young person driving a very expensive car) and of course sometimes you get stopped just because you look foreign. This may sound cruel or racist, but actually many foreigners tend not to know or even ignore some of the rules simply because they don't apply in their home countries, or maybe they do apply but nobody cares, this is very common because Eastern Europe has a very different culture to most countries in Western Europe. The police know this and that's why these people are stopped more often. Sometimes it's just “random”, but there's always a certain bias, they don't want to waste their time, so I think every police officer has their own strategy when it comes to what, when and where they look for ...
You asked, what made the police suspicious ... My guess is that the automated scanning systems we have on some Autobahns might have checked and found that the scanned car was not insured.
You can see the Ambulance and even the vehicle of an emergency doctor parked right behind the firefighting car. They were called automatically when the police reported that the vehicle crashed. And all firefighters are trained as paramedics. It is standard procedure that the police can only use given answers to questions for the trial once a doctor has confirmed that this person is fit for interrogation. The way this documentation was cut, with the jumping back and forth between the times, gives a wrong impression of the chronology. All three cars had German plates, so the police didn't know a foreign person was driving the car. The police ran all the plates of the cars in front of them, and if they found anything, they stopped the car. As these tapes were shot in the direct border area, it is very likely that you will catch a lot of foreign persons, but also enough Germans. Not all Germans are so law-abiding.
at 16:21 you can see the Ambulance in the Background. They called the ReTtungsWagen (RTW german word for ambulance) right after the crash, The subtitles are really bad. By the way the title of the original clip states clearly they were looking for a stolen car. He tried to get away with a 100000 EUR stolen AUDI
![Lil Uzi Vert - We Good [Official Audio]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/DrSfBULAsek/mqdefault.jpg)
They actually called the ambulance right away they said they called RTW wich is Short for Rettungswagen
Also, the fire brigade covers a lot of the duties of first responders. A lot of ambulances actually are run by the fire departments.
You must know Germany is not an Island like the UK. We are in the heart of Europe. We border 9 countries. Therefore lots of foreigners driving thru Germany. And it is the experience of the police that with many foreign cars (mostly eastern Europe) something can be wrong. So it's like profiling but not like in the US. Skin colour doesn't matter. It's more like look 2 young man in a car without insurance, let's check. Same for lory driver. If you see a polish numberplate you can be sure to 79 % that something is not allowed at this truck like tyres without enough profile and so on. ...Aaaand you can get pulled over for no reason. It's just a regular control.
I've already written to him about other videos, but he doesn't seem to read the comments!
Ohne Grund darf auch in Deutschland niemand zur Kontrolle angehalten werden. Der häufigste fragwürdige Grund ist die "allgemeine Verkehrskontrolle".
In this case, both cars were registered in Germany, so no Polish number plates.
@@stephangruhne3958 Das ist falsch. Die Verkehrspolizei kann und darf dich zur Kontrolle jederzeit und ohne Grund anhalten, selbst wenn denen einfach langweilig ist. Dafür braucht es nicht mal ne allgemeine Verkehrskontrolle. Genauso wie die Ausweiskontrolle ohne Grund erfolgen darf.
Allerdings ist das auch schon Alles. Jegliche weitere Kooperation Deinerseits kann abgelehnt werden, sei es die Auskunft was du da machst, die Einsicht ins Auto oder auch irgendeinen Test mitzumachen. Das heißt aber nicht, dass das ohne Konsequenzen bleibt.
@@stephangruhne3958
Das ist schlichtweg falsch.
Verdachtsunabhänge Kontrollen sind z.B. im Rahmen einer Schleierfahndung jederzeit möglich oder 50km im Umfeld der Grenze oder um internationale Flughäfen.
They checked the plates in the computer, and the INPOL database told them "No Insurence"
You didn't get it but the moment the accident happened they called the ambulance. But they used the term rtw wich is short for the German word for ambulance so the translator got it wrong
Also the ambulance WAS there just parked behind the fire truck. And of course the thief was examined before was taken to the police station.
And The driver without insurance, the police did check the license plate and got the message no insurance. So that's why they stopped him. And why they are checked the plate is because of experience, so they know who should be checked
Oh BTW the reason why all the suspects where non Germans is because they where at the border region.
The thief was from Ukraine by the way
They checked the number plate and then they stopped the uninsured car. They didn't picked them randomly😉
But they ran the number plate "randomly". That's what he is saying. I have the impression a number of commenters have comprehension issues.
@user-ys8kl7hp8h I suspect that they check a lot of license plates just like that. I can even imagine that an AI does it automatically now. If not, then that will surely come soon.Facial recognition is not legal just like that, but as far as I know license plate falcons are not covered by the same protection. Saving the locations and times of all scanned license plates is of course not possible. A live message saying "there's something wrong with that" does, however.
30:00 - They sometimes randomly run plates of cars through the system, and this one came back with "no insurance".
Makes me wonder how long it actually takes to "run a plate". If its a matter of seconds, then someone with good typing skills and a laptop can run pretty much every plate they see around them on the streets.
The Police are not allowed to "randomly" check number plates. Each inquiry in ZEVIS (Central Traffic Information System) must be justified with a file number/occurrence reference or the reason for the inquiry. Experienced Traffic Police Officers are trained to look out for certain features on the cars themselves or licence plates, which - as they are not stupid - they will not disclose to members of the public.
Germany doesnt use miles, it's always kilometres (km) ;)
Like the whole of mainland Europe I think!
@@arnodobler1096like the whole world except the USA, Australia, and UK for example.
"Why is it always a foreign person?" - The first police chase with the accident was in direction of the german/polish border (the man tried to get that stolen car as quickly as possible out of Germany to sell it in Poland or traffic it further into eastern Europe). In the case of that polish woman without license - she was controlled by the border police on the german/czech border on her way back from Poland. And the third traffic control of that bulgarian guy was on the autobahn Nürnberg (Germany) to Linz (Austria). - Since Great Britain is an island you just don't have such transit and land border situations there..
The Polish woman probably had a Polish licence. So if she commits a traffic violation in Germany, she is only disqualified rom driving in Germany, but may keep her licence and use it in other countries.
If she had a German licence, the document would have been confiscated on her disqualification outright and she would not have been able to produce the licence document.
Doesn't make a difference in terms of legality of driving, it is "driving without a licence" either way, which (unlike simply failing to produce the licence document) is a serious criminal traffic offense.
Don’t worry, Dwayne. In Germany even criminals get immediate medical help when they cause an accident. :) You saw the ambulance when the police officer stepped in. A doctor was also there.
Honestly, I'm slightly annoyed by Dwayne because even if the subtitle was incomplete, you could clearly see the ambulance and the paramedics multiple times but he kept ignoring it. These are all professionals. There's no need to tell them what to do.
The ambulence is there... you can see the car in which he is checked in the video round about at 19:52 for instance. Before that there was a doctor checking him too who ordered him into the ambulance car.
There's several reasons, why they ran the plates.
Germany is a major transit country and the Autobahn is the most frequented amongst all within Europe.
Therefore all kinds of crime connected networks use it.
Narcotics, human trafficking, smuggling, etc.
The police see's any vehicle as suspicions and randomly check plates.
The appearance of drivers plays a role of course.
Racial profiling is a sensitive topic, but it is more complex than the general public would like it to be.
People are not simply being picked out only due to their ethnicity.
Multiple aspects of behaviour, appearance, as well as personal experience as an investigator are more relevant.
There are some Police units in different parts of Germany, who are known for having racism issues, but generally they're professional and respectful if you are as well.
To start with, the car was reported as stolen...
10:18 They already sad they called a RTW (Rettungswagen // Ambulance), so it's en route..
15:00 She got stopped because it seems the was caught DUI once and should actually not be allowed to drive (when her drivers license would be a german one, she would have lost it at least temporary..).
No they do not pick cars randomly. They look at type of car , what kind of occupants and so on. Also they know of course crime data from the past.
@Dwayne'sLens Hey Brit, relax and don't speculate so strangely. This is Germany, every criminal and every foreigner gets a first class service icluding full scale medical examination and treatment.
The fire engines of the volunteer fire departments are often stationed near the motorway entrance. The ambulance has a longer journey here. Both were alerted at the same time.
at 19:10 you can see the ambulance in the back, behind the firetruck.
A car with no insurance passsed them (they checked his plates when it was driving by). Driving without insurance is against the law and the car must not drive on german public roads - at all. They are the police and have to apply the law. Thats why they stopped him, to ask and double check the insurance. And yes the first info was right, it was not insured. But everyone was quite chill - so I dont see the Issue.
And towards the "allways foreingers" - germany has many neighbouring contries - something you on an island maybe cant understand ;) We even allow people from neighbouring contries to live and work here - it is called EU... And so many foreign people are on the roads. But some dont know or cant or dont take the laws seriously. So they flare up more often. Germany has some of the most strict rules and some people dont inform themselves before they drive to another country - especially when it is only a transit country for them (e.g. from Bulgaria to Denmark)...
You should know that there are so-called traffic surveillance cameras that monitor traffic flow, detect traffic jams, and document accidents. These cameras can also capture license plates and cross-reference them with databases to identify stolen vehicles or vehicles without valid insurance or registration. When the computer detects such a vehicle, it passes the information on to the officers. That's how they arrived at those cases. The police don't like this being mentioned in documentaries so that the offenders don't know how they were caught. However, this isn't a secret. This surveillance has nothing to do with race or anything like that
I dindt know that wasnt common knowlede by now.
Kaum gestohlen, schon in Polen 😂oder vor der Ausfahrt
Morgens halb 10 in Polen: "WO IS MEIN KNOPPERS ! ? ! " 🤣🤣🤣
Ja, ich musste direkt grinsen am Anfang als sie gesagt haben, das ist die Straße zwischen Berlin und Polen - und ein gestohlenes Fahrzeug.
@@LuziBeerbaum 😂
It was a car thief being arrested, he obviously stole the car and drove into a restricted 🚫area of the Autobahn, where you can be limited to a speed to between 80 k/ph (km/h) and 60 k/ph (km/h), due to works being conducted in that stretch.
Going by the speedometer of t police car, he was driving into the ‚Baustelle‘ at 165 km/h…which is approximately 103 miles per hour!
So him no being German, that is a red flag….we sed to have a saying in Germany after reunification:
Come to Poland, your car is already here!
So I‘m only 18 min into the video, so he is Ukrainian, not Polish….but I suppose…after all these years, the eastern Criminals have moved further East…24 years old and not fighting for his country, but risking his life on the Autobahn!
A knee contusion was all he received…I‘d have liked him to get the full 10 years the German law accounts for this delict
@@lynnm6413the police officer is the one with the knee contusion... The Ukrainian guy "just" bumped his head a little and has some bruises there. They said that probably the airbags saved his life.
@@josefineseyfarth6236 missed that…sorry, but thanks, I was reading comments alongside listening to the video, my bad!
I‘m getting quite annoyed at the special regulations the Ukrainian refugees are granted by Germany…my neighbor‘s son, who has found refuge with his uncle who moved to Denmark 22 years ago just spent two weeks at his mother‘s to have 4 teeth taken care of in Osnabrück!
First off, he is 24 and should be helping in Ukraine, and secondly, why hasn‘t he been taken care of his teeth in Denmark, where he has been living for 2 years?!
Merz doesn’t SEEM TO HAVE BEEN THIS WRONG IF OUT OF 3 Ukrainians I get to witness this firsthand!
@@lynnm6413 yes, it's a shame that Ukrainians are treated so much better than any other refugees. There should be the same rules, benefits and rights in place for everyone.
Tbh, I don't trust Merz. Wie wir in Deutschland sagen: "Der redet viel, wenn der Tag lang ist." Especially now, just days before the federal elections in Thuringia, Saxony and Brandenburg, he says everything that the people want to hear. But his only goal is for the CDU to become the strongest party both in the federal states as well as in the entire country.
If he gets into power, he will surely forget about his promises, as CDU politicians always did (except for Schmidt maybe).
I've come to the conclusion that, if we want a change and if we want less illegal migration, if we want our country back the way it was, there's no way around the AfD...
germany is in the middle of europe, of course there are many "foringers" on the road.😂❤
A lot of fire fighters in Germany are also paramedics.
the police are randamly cheking the licens plade on the autobahn. thats how there figured out that there is somthing wrong. You can see in the system if the driving license (of the owner) is valid and if they have insurence.
There are certain types of cars that are checked more frequently. A Volkswagen Golf is checked more often because many accidents happen with it. For example.
"Why did they stop that particular person?" --> because his car was not insured! They couldn't know where the owner was from. --> German car with german number plates. They only knew who the owner was after it came up as "not insured" and they the checked for the owner, who also is a german resident...
There is loads of people from other countries (mostly other EU countries) working, living and driving in Germany, some with cars registered in Germany, but many with cars registered in their home country. Since many other countries don't have a central traffic register like germany and also somewhat more lax technical checkups etc. it's a statistical fact, that lots more people from certain countries have insurance problems or other offences on their cars. That's why of coure police tends to check those... In Germany it's very very hard to have a car with numberplates that isn't insured...
yes, you can register a car only when you have a valid insurance, and when it is no longer valid, the previous insurance reports that. thus it's pretty easy to check for cars with a german registration (number plate) whether there is something wrong already before stopping the car, and if there is nothing wrong nobody will know that it was checked. if an insurance expires and the car is not de-registered, police can also easily find the owner and ask him directly at home.
but when the car is from other countries, this is more difficult to verify and thus foreign cars are stopped and then checked "on location" apparently a lot more frequently than german cars. and as others already have said, the UK can easily check people and cars that enter and leave their country, in contrast to all continental Schengen-countries that no longer have fixed border controls. thus of course there have to be random checks in border regions, and those checks primarily target foreign people and their cars and not locals.
without knowledge about facts and background, claiming all those negative things from watching one such report is imho at least a bit "hasty", especially when it is not only one among many questions, but is repeated over and over, reminding me of tucker who used to say "i don't accuse anybody, i only ask questions". therefore no like at all this time
They check the licence plates of cars they see in the computer while driving on the motor way. If the computer says "something is odd" they will stopp them.
Nothing special here. You always have to see it like this: We see one driver being pulled out, but there are thousands of cars with many other drivers (foreigners and non-foreigner) which are not pulled over.
Dear Dwayne, just because you don't see any German road users/checks doesn't mean that they aren't being checked.
I'm astonished that you automatically blame the police. It wasn't the police who told the car thief to steal cars in Germany, speed and endanger others. The same goes for driving without a license, etc.
Anyone who wants to live and drive here has to abide by our rules!!
I can't hear any more of this CRAP about foreigners...🤨 Abide by our laws and rules and don't endanger anyone!
the main point here is that from 10 cars probably 9 are German .. they also get checked but it is just not very likely that they aren't in compliance with the rules ^^
You also never know what has been filmed and what has been edited. These programmes never show any mistakes made by the police
There is really no need for you to be so defensive/offensive (or is there?). The content creator never said any of the things you are implying, such as that foreigners wouldn't have to abide by German law or that the police told the first guy to steal a car. Literally nobody says that. You are making up arguments that do not exist. All he said was that the first guy needs a medical checkup before police questioning, which is correct by German law and that racial profiling should not happen, which is also in accordance with German regulations. He says the police do a good job SEVERAL times, but they are still just human. They make mistakes and mistakes need to have consequences, police are not exempted from that. And that is critical for a state of law, like Germany.
So yeah, whatever you are defending, it doesn't seem to be the German constitution.
Ambulance and Doctor have been on site, see the vehicle with "112".
When the accident happend, same second, you can hear them say, he had accident, please send RTW (Ambulance).
They secured the suspect in their car until the RTW got there, and have him checced of course directly.
What makes you suspicious is in the experience of the officers
Many of those stolen cars are on their way to Poland... in this case "Autobahn Berlin-Warschau" that's their reputation because of some idiots
It is „Schengen“ - zone, no borders, means checkpoints on highways
Hi Dwayne, the ambulance is a little bit hard to see, but it's standing right behind the fire truck. It was called right at the moment of the crash - this got lost in the subtitles, though.
If someone escapes on the highway towards Warsaw, it is 100% a Pole. They are the most noticeable here with the Romanians, ib things, zapzarap
I thought the same…but this girl is speaking well enough German to take the test….she just doesn‘t want to pay for it!!
All these events seem to be occurring near the border. That's obviously something you don't have on UK motorways, except perhaps in Northern Ireland. The police are primarily looking for drug smugglers, weapons smugglers and people taking stolen cars over the border. For this purpose it is legal for them to run number plates without any concrete suspicion. The system then shows them if the car is stolen as in the first case, but also other information, such as the registered keeper not being allowed to drive, or the car not being insured. The 'fruit of the forbidden tree' doctrine is so weak in the German legal system as to basically not exist at all, so there is absolutely no problem with acting on such a by-catch.
The fact that they are operating near the border and looking specifically for people crossing the border also explains why they are catching so many foreigners. It would probably be different on regular patrols further inland, but they would also be far less interesting to a TV team.
I am not saying there is no racial profiling going on there at all, but it's not the full explanation here; perhaps not even the main one.
One of the worst cases of racial profiling was the case of a dark-skinned native German who was subjected to ID checks at Frankfurt Main Station several times a week by police looking for illegal African immigrants. Even after our Constitutional Court decided that that's illegal, German police is continuing like that. And of course it makes little sense to perform ID checks on light-skinned old women when the vast majority of illegal immigrants that the police are looking for are young, male and dark-skinned. What I find really outrageous is that the police in Frankfurt apparently did nothing to ensure they weren't harassing the same person over and over. In my opinion, with this kind of controls they have to ensure that basically the same officers are working in the same location at the same time, and that these officers are neither stupid nor racist douche bags. So that the same members of the public who happen to fit a pattern aren't controlled more often than necessary. Being greeted nicely on your way to work by always the same cop is a lot better than having to show your identity card to a different cop every day, or worse, to the _same_ obnoxious douche bag every day.
This is the only good, and above all not one-sided, answer in the comments. Thank you
30:25 Driving with an uninsured car is a criminal offense. That is a criminality. That the driver was committing at that time.
The women without license: What you should know is that 'When you get your license revoked, you can do a license in another country and get the EU license. Through a EU laws loophole, that allows you to drive again wherever you lost your license" has been advertised and promoted for over a decade. It's not true, of course, but that also pops up whenever you search information on how to get your license back. And its one of those myths that aren't too unrealistic. There's lots of EU laws and regulations that supersede national laws, most people don't know where EU laws apply and where not.
It is quite possible that she actually believed she was allowed to drive again in Germany.
DUI with alcohol is more or less a minor offense. Up to 0.5 promille blood alcohol is a legal drive, she likely would have gotten her license back relatively easily without that EU license scam.
She didn’t get her license revoked. The license was a polish one and therefore can only be revoked by a polish authority. She just was banned from driving in Germany. This ban does not apply to any other country, be it Poland, Denmark the US or Russia.
Normal law enforcement - it's the robber who chose to drive too fast and play hazardous with his live and not to forget destroy other unknown citizen's property!
basically when they called out the acident on the radio the ambulance and doctor! are instantly sent, it's by the same team that sends the fire services, but with many volunteer services around they are often faster than the ambulance
also not that there was an emergency doctor on site
The scenes shown here are from the state of Bavaria, where automated license plate recognition and comparison is permitted. This is done in seconds by the vehicle itself and so any irregularity pops up for the officers. So it's not as if they look into the vehicle and say "the driver looks like a foreigner, let's check him"
The problem is that it is not his car. He stole it and when the police chased him, he freaked out and tried to get around his sentence by crashing the car and trying to run away.
the subtitles are really bad (false, incoherent), no wonder the confusion
1 guy was Ukrainian driving a stolen car. It was unclear if he stole the car himself or if he only was the driver to drive the car to Poland (and maybe to Ukraine). After the accident the police immediately called for an RTW (RettungsTransportWagen) = ambulance. Later the officer told he was checked by a doctor i.e they also called for a Notarzt (doctor specialised on emergencies).
2. Polish woman (residency in Germany) was controlled because in the past she drove without a license and under the influence 1.63 per mille / 0.163% (lthe egal limit for a felony is upwards of 1.1 per mille). Now she has the car registered under her name (totally legal!) and the officers checked her identity. She now has a Polish license and can drive everywhere except Germany. She has a ban (not allowed to get a German license) and would have been obliged to undergo an MPU (Medizinisch-Psychologische Untersuchung, vulgo Idiotentest) = medical-psychological examination, which is standard for all alcohol/drug-related felonies in traffic. She didn't do this and is therefore not permitted to drive in Germany despite a valid Polish license.
My guess is she knew what she was doing as she drove through Czechia (and therefore as long as possible NOT in Germany) and hoped she wouldn't get caught while flowing with traffic.
3. Bulgarian, again with permanent residence in Germany. Most likely hasn't paid his insurance premium. If the car was parked somewhere he'd get a neon-red sticker on the windshield. If possible the police make the owner move the car to private grounds. But driving an uninsured car is a serious offense i.e. The INPOL police database had an entry "no insurance".
@dn3087not knowing about something, doesn't prevent you from being punished.
The guy at 19:38 with the yellow/red jacket/pants is the medic. The Transporter at 19:47 with the "112" on the side is the ambulance. So the driver has been examined for sure as well as the police officer. All standard procedure before moving a patient anywhere else AFAIK.
9:53 "I hope he's not British"
Dude, he's not British. He's driving a stolen car on the Autobahn from Berlin to Warsaw (Poland) - that's some Eastern European guy.
They even said he was Ukranian.
Makes sense @@MellonVegan
19:10 Germany is a transit country. Our highways are full of people traveling through etc. Of course, this is also because it is in the heart of Europe. But we also have some stricter rules than other countries.
21:05 The driver was examined immediately by a paramedic from the fire department and before the police officer went into the ambulance, a paramedic was with the injured driver at the police car.
Regarding the foreign drivers or people not speaking german: Germany borders nine countries, so there's a lot of border traffic and it is sat in the middle of Europe so there's a lot of transit of cars/trucks from all over Europe. That's the reason the autobahn police when controlling/stopping cars often meet people who don't speak a word of German. Then the base of communication is usually english. Doesn't mean that person has to be british..
Love from Germany ❤
Nice Brother 😊
Passau, right by the border! Golf VWs are in big demand for smuggling .
9:07 Here they say that they called the ambulance (Police use the German abbreviation "RTW" which means "Rettungswagen", literally: "rescue wagon" = ambulance, RUclips translation doesn't understand that)
16:21 There are two vehicles behind the fire truck. The rear vehicle is a typical ambulance. I'm not sure about second vehicle, maybe an emergency doctor or paramedic operations management?
19:46 Here you can see a close-up of the ambulance ...
It's quite simple: They don't need a reason to stop them. Other countries, other laws and regulations.
30:40 They already said it, "undercover investigation", or gambling as a specialist. 😉
These guys spend years to theire jobs and apparently love it! Thank you for reacting Dwayne`s Lens!
hope you are fine too!? 👍
At 16:21, you can see the ambulance, as well as the emergency doctor in the backgound.
20:49 There were not only paramedics but a doctor as well. He will have been examined for sure.
when driving behind someone you usually can't tell who's in the car though. and they had a German license plate, so no profiling there
Keep in mind …. Germans love their rules! 😂😅😊

@@gwalshgwen ahh common, I agree lots of things are totally messed up by rules they don’t make sense or are complicated but lots of rules make sense and are necessary to live together
@@vanessa-atalantathe problem is, to many rules which can't be enforced due to the lack of personnel...so they are basically useless rules.
Always brake before the curve and then accelerate out of the curve. The "concentric circle", basics at driver training. A mistake that I see again and again in US high-speed pursuits.
You have a marker on your back license plate that shows, that you have a insurance on your car. the Bulgarian had no insurance marker, so they pulled them out...
A friend of my father was a highway patrol officer for 30 years, and according to him, high-speed chases at 200-250 kph (120-155 mph) were not uncommon, unfortunately including fatal accidents. Once during his 30 years of service, he was shot. He was involved in accidents several times, and once his vehicle was intentionally rammed off the road at nearly 150 kph. The police car rolled over multiple times, and he and his colleague had to undergo emergency surgery. He was unfit for duty for four months but only retained scars (the perpetrator was sentenced to 12 years in prison for attempted murder and other offenses, if I remember correctly). Here in the Northwest, everything seems so peaceful and quiet, but drug gangs that are extremely dangerous operate near the Dutch border. He retired at 56 after almost 35 years of service with the police, and half a year later, during his well-deserved retirement, he had a heart attack and died. As a child, I always thought of the action series "Alarm für Cobra 11" and how exciting his daily life must be, but of course, TV series with countless stunts, crashes, and thrilling scenes are totally exaggerated.
According to your question what made the Police suspicious in the case of the not insured car = Nothing.
BUT that police patrol was controlling - the border area which is basically a permanent grid square area - and therefore the police patrols do especially there close to the border most frequently random sample elections of random cars just for checking as many licence plates as possible...that´s all.
Further afar from the border that very likely wouldn´t had happened to those Bulgarians, because they didn´t drive suspicious at all, because further afar from the border police patrols just controll cars who are driving suspicious or too fast or cars which look like models which they are looking for/are wanted
The two checks of the foreigners were random, they did a Schleierfandung, a covert search, which means they can randomly select and check anyone. In this case, that means they randomly select license plates and run them through the computer if they notice anything. They select them randomly, but also as many as possible. They drove relatively close to the eastern border, where many foreigners drive. Also, the highway they were driving on starts behind the border, and so it is not unusual to select foreigners. Germany is a transit country, most people who come from Eastern Europe have to go through Germany to get to Western Europe, so the roads are full of Eastern Europeans. Both cars were registered in Germany, by the way, so they did not know who was in them before they checked the license plates. I am not saying that there is no racial discrimination in Germany, but in this case it is probably more of a coincidence.
30:20 it was seid they run the tag through teir system and there was no insurance behind the plate number. thats why they stopped him.
5:09 At least he is indicating, which is quite rare these days.
Life is too short? For some people it appears to be not short enough. But his life still clings to him.
1,63 promille alcohol in blood and driving without driving licence at once... Angels act different... And acting with 1,63 promille especially as a woman tends to be a heavy alcohol consumer.
Good luck at the MPU (medical-psychological investigation). Those psychologist performing the interrogations during the MPU are very, very skilled. It would be a tough investigation. And most people wouldn't pass the MPU without any (expensive) preparation and training in the first place.
The yellow dressed people were the paramedics, one of them a doctor. They diagnosed that the Ukrainian needs no further treatment and the slightly injured policeman was patched up. You could have a small glimpse into the paramedic van. It is optically not so impressive as in other countries.
I'm pretty sure that they are allowed to run any license plate they want in germany, so nothing suspicious about that
And also: no there is not many people that drive uninsured in germany, because you won't get your license plates unless you got proof of insurance
12:45 Wasn't this episode specifically regarding highways connecting to neighboring countries to show situations by the border? By that I guess it makes sense
As far as I know this is not an accurate documentation. It is entertainment. Sometimes things are re-enacted, gaps in stories are filled with made up stories and things are presented more dramatically.
If you look at 16:21 in your video you can see the amblulance teams stands behind the fire truck.
The number of transits in 2020 for HGVs from EU countries amounted to 7,477,000 journeys. In contrast, the total number of entries and transits in 2020 for all EU countries amounted to 20,467,000.4 This results in a share of transits through Germany of around 36.5 percent. over 1/3
The average daily traffic volume of all foreign cars on German freeways was 2,424 cars / 24 hours. This means that around 6 percent of the vehicles driving on German freeways come from abroad. These foreign cars cover around 11.196 million vehicle kilometers [million
Of course foreign trucks also drive to the UK (although not as many cough), and foreign tourists by car, but that is in no way comparable to Germany.
Not jumping to conclusions but the first conclusion was that they didn't called the ambulance on the ukrainian driver, second conclusion was that the woman had to be a serious criminal, third conclusion that they picked only that car on their whole shift even when they would have checked every car they passed but wasn't shown cause there was no reason to put it on TV.
They were on patrol for routine controls. Their car is equipped with a camera system to scan number plates. The recognized number gets sent to a central computing system for a check and if that check finds an irregularity the officers will be notified. That's happeneing within a few minutes and provides only enough information to the officers to know that a case is a candidate for a more thorough inspection.
Regarding insurance everybody is required to have a valid liability insurance for traffic and the vehicle. That requirement has to be observed strictly. That doesn't apply to Germany only but also for Austria, Switzerland and I assume that it's not much different in the Netherlands, Denmark, and most other West European countries.
To be fair the vast majority of our neighbours in the east know and respect those rules. It's certainly not difficult to get such basic information. Maybe some are really naive and think that there won't be controls and that they can get through with ignoring them.
However due to the serious consequences eg. of a missing car insurance in case of an accident German police is handling such violations quite strictly.
It is very suspicious that only people with a migration background are shown, I agree. Above all, you only see those who have something wrong. That suggests to the viewer that it must be like that for everyone. All those without any complaints, which is probably the vast majority, are not shown. But that is due to the editing of the show and that is what the viewer wants to see in order to have their prejudices confirmed.
Yeah i understant you, i know one of that kind of british shows here in german TV (that one with mal cecurities/kriminality in britain) & i love to watch it too to see whats ging on there & how they fix it. ^^
6:50 it said he stole the car
The police car drove at 200 km/h on the highway during the chase
In Germany, in case of an accident, the culprit *must* be examined first thing, before he's taken away.
Just to be clear... a scene like this is NOT a normal thing to happen here.
They wanted to go to Poland. The car was stolen.
Just throwing it out there but there is an audi with 1001 hp a kombi btw
you didn't see it, but in one scene you see the paramedic at the police car in the background checking the ukrainian guy before he even checked the police officer.
We should have the similar standard procedures as in every good first world country ... in the legislative, judicative and executive branch of the law.
Please relax, it's all done and it's in the vid ... XD
The fastest i ever drove was 306 km/h, that´s 190 mp/h. Let me tell you, the road is very narrow.
"The highly motorised camera vehicle" lol. So instead of 150hp the camera vehicle probably has 190hp. Also, what the police is doing here is criminaly dangerous. Their number one priority should be to cause no bodily harm to anyone and what are these crazymen doing? Waving thru traffic at blazin speeds they should all be fired and prosecuted. Insane. Because of a stolen car whos driver probably is just racing because hes followed by police. Its not like the thief murdered someone or is actively sooting at random this is just about a very replaceable car and nothing else.
Some channels in Germany are not that reputable. Would be better to react to more serious channels.
there is an ambulance right behind the firetruck in the video.
There are several reasons why they check and stop cars ... Firstly, they look for anything that is strange, this can be the condition of the car or anything that doesn't fit the person of the driver (e.g. a very young person driving a very expensive car) and of course sometimes you get stopped just because you look foreign. This may sound cruel or racist, but actually many foreigners tend not to know or even ignore some of the rules simply because they don't apply in their home countries, or maybe they do apply but nobody cares, this is very common because Eastern Europe has a very different culture to most countries in Western Europe. The police know this and that's why these people are stopped more often.
Sometimes it's just “random”, but there's always a certain bias, they don't want to waste their time, so I think every police officer has their own strategy when it comes to what, when and where they look for ...
Do you know these scanners do check plates automaticly and show the fetails of the car and holder 😉😂
You asked, what made the police suspicious ... My guess is that the automated scanning systems we have on some Autobahns might have checked and found that the scanned car was not insured.
You can see the Ambulance and even the vehicle of an emergency doctor parked right behind the firefighting car. They were called automatically when the police reported that the vehicle crashed. And all firefighters are trained as paramedics.
It is standard procedure that the police can only use given answers to questions for the trial once a doctor has confirmed that this person is fit for interrogation. The way this documentation was cut, with the jumping back and forth between the times, gives a wrong impression of the chronology.
All three cars had German plates, so the police didn't know a foreign person was driving the car. The police ran all the plates of the cars in front of them, and if they found anything, they stopped the car. As these tapes were shot in the direct border area, it is very likely that you will catch a lot of foreign persons, but also enough Germans. Not all Germans are so law-abiding.
Hello Deutschland =)
at 16:21 you can see the Ambulance in the Background. They called the ReTtungsWagen (RTW german word for ambulance) right after the crash, The subtitles are really bad. By the way the title of the original clip states clearly they were looking for a stolen car. He tried to get away with a 100000 EUR stolen AUDI
He had stolen the Car they said in the beginning ....!
Police in the EU can access a general database...
Disgusting. Then all of a sudden they can't speak German. But where there is money, they can wisely speak German
They also do that in the UK, police interceptors .and to top it all off it's near the border
At 16:21 you can see the anbulance.
We have Automatic Plate Readers in some Police Cars in Germany, they reed every Plate in Sight and If the Plate comes Up they get Match Signal
The strong dialect doesn't make it any easier for the translator, does it? 😅😆
my guess why they checked the plate of the guy without insurence that its broing to drive around and they just check plates kinda random
The fire departement often has ist own ambulance. In the event of an emergency, the will also be called together on the same number.
