Thank god he got what was coming to him
I'm team German here: fuck cars. They love to treat pedestrian and cyclist spaces as parking, but their sole parking is hell and they should fuck off to there.
If the drivers are disabled and need to park in non-parking zones, they should have some kind of marking on their cars so they can be exempt from this, but people without disabilities have zero fucking excuse. It's not like they're an oppressed minority. Everywhere is a fucking car world and yet those POSs still find ways to get on the little space pedestrians and cyclists have.
Sorry but the motorism will end. Unlimited parking tickets to kkkars in pedestrian zones 🚗
He is really stupid for making a public appearance, though. And if we're being honest, cars are a social problem that require a social solution, not a guy with a special interest in parking violations reporting you to the police.
Nah, that guy rules actually. The solution to "I can't be arsed to walk more than 30m" is to start taking drivers licenses away.
How many of those people he's reporting are delivery drivers who need to deliver the food immediately or they don't have enough money for rent? I've been in that situation.
About as many as all of those people with dire medical emergencies and those transporting their couch-bound grandma in a fridge, which is to say, somewhere in the 2nd decimal after the comma of percentages
Yeah idk where you live but where I am delivery drivers doing the above make up the majority of cases. Snitching is lame.
That first car in the video isn't even blocking anything. That's literally the conventional way to park cars in older neighborhoods in China. What's the alternative, bulldoze a historical district and build some parking lot? Ban people living there from owning a car? Just let people park on the side if they're not blocking anything.
I live in Germany and delivery drivers are not anywhere close to the majority of cases of parking violations, especially not in places like Gräfenhainichen in Sachsen-Anhalt
What's the alternative, bulldoze a historical district and build some parking lot? Ban people living there from owning a car? Just let people park on the side if they're not blocking anything.
You can't be against turning the historical district into a parking lot and also think you should be able to park there, that's ending up at the same thing.
Anyways, he seemingly walks past the noted big tree, then past the Market Plaza and then in the background we can see a T-Intersection which should put us roughly somewhere here , maybe on the Paul-Gerhardt-Straße. Which means the alternative is park on a parking space that is at most 100m away from where he parked and then do like 30 seconds of walking.
Also the reason that the parking there is illegal, even removed from making sure the bit of pedestrian zone there doesn't turn into a parking lot, is usually so the fire brigade can actually come to your house should it burn, you're not fitting a firetruck between that car and the planter there. The fire departments (and ambulances) in germany regularly get delayed or their access made inaccessible by people parking like shit.
But lets keep going here with the second example, the kebab guy who claims to have actually delivered goods in the gartenstraße I don't even have to look at one up on google because our guy here entirely correctly points out you could've just parked your car for unloading and loading right around the corner, on the road, and that would've been fine. Sidewalks aren't built to accomodate vehicle weight, assuming this guy and probably a fair share of customers do this they're death-by-a-thousand-cuts-ing this sidewalk despite the legal, non destructive alternative being literally 5m around the corner there.
Nah fuck off. Some lib getting beat up by a bunch of right wing car nuts isn't something to celebrate. Fuck Cars.
I hate cars as much as the next guy, but that's omega snitch behavior
Why would you tattle to the German government, of all the governments???
More importantly why would you show everyone your face and tell them your name?
If you watch the documentary it seems pretty obvious that this guy has some kind of neurodivergency going on
Which it won't, since german automakers got the government by the ball anyway?
I mean if I take this at face value the next step is either give up or start firebombing cars, kind of puzzled what the preferred one here is to be.
But disregarding that, parking enforcement is done at the municipal level in germany. Plenty of municipalities with vested interest in CAR CAR CAR CAR and such, not generally true however. The federal state has, at least kind of, maneuvered itself into a corner here by actually making these parking violations illegal. You can actually change this shit. I point you to Münster as an example where they take this seriously and that's despite being being ruled by the CDU basically forever. Similar story in Tübingen, or Berlin, with very different approaches that lead there, albeit Berlin now retreating from it.
Yeah, cop got got, zero tears. And it was the worst kind of cop - a snitch.
Fuck cars, this dude is doing god's work. I wish him a speedy recovery.
I'm not going to yell profanities at everyone here that seems to have been nurtured by a car exhaust pipe, instead, I offer you some very digestible theory as to why this guy ain't wrong:
https://unevenearth.org/2018/08/the-social-ideology-of-the-motorcar/
You should read 'The New Jim Crowe'. You're falling into the same thought trap as this kid. Maybe you've never been arrested, or maybe German cops are made out of pretzels and currywurst, which I doubt. You have no idea what ptsd someone has with the police.
I feel like you're assuming germany functions exactly like the US here.
Every time the police shows up in the documentary it's because whoever the kid photographed insists on having them called as he insists there's no need, but is happy to oblige. Parking Violations don't even fall into the jurisdiction of the cop-cops in germany, that's handled by a municipal department - the actual cops aren't gonna show up for this shit unless you park your car sideways on a main road and then that's because that's not a minor infraction anymore. Everyone in the video would otherwise - maybe - if the municipal department decides to follow through on the cases - get a letter with a fine that they can either appeal or pay and that's a big maybe, they don't usually do anything about any parking violations anyways.
Do the not-cops tasked with minor infractions still suck a lot for related reasons to the cop-cops? Yeah, sure, probably still a lot of racial profiling in there and such, but they're not armed because that's not their job. At most they have some self-defense training in case somebody starts to assault them, usually for writing them a ticket for parking like shit, as that happens a lot. The only way you can get arrested for parking violations in germany is to rack up a huge amount and then refuse to pay any of them despite having the means to, if you show proof you can't pay them they'll just get rain checked until you can.
I agree, I am taking a very American centric opinion on this. But 1312 is pretty universal.
boy oh boy who do we hate more here, cops/snitches or cars?
(honestly cars for me, I might see one cop a day at most)
Illegal parking can impede the fire department, some types of snitching are good. Health code/OSHA/QC violations are other examples.
: reporting parking violators to the feds
: leaving spike strips and nails out of sight under the tires of parking violatorsThe privilege on this kid. He obviously hadn't considered that someone might beat the shit out of him. (that would be illegal) Otherwise we wouldn't dress up like a traffic cone snowman.
If you have a fetish for confronting people and threatening to cost them money, wear something lighter that you can run in.
See all that you can really read out of posts like this it it just requires enough violence that if somebody gets beaten to death for a parking violation by the mob, that's on them on the basis of it being entirely foreseeable
Maybe if your parking violation cost someone their life or robbed them. Killing someone with a vehicle can end in mob violence. But police have the monopoly of voilence for a reason. Their job will deny people their freedom their money or both. People dont give those up lightly. This kid hadnt done that math.
Maybe if your parking violation cost someone their life
Yeah, that does happen as people are forced into the roads or sightlines get cut which leads to accidents. You know there's like an actual reason as to why parking violations are illegal?
Instead of snitching to the cops like this dork, just draw dicks on the panels with brake fluid
Instead of reporting to the kkkops he should carry a bag of caltrops and drop them by the tires of illegally parked cars.
This would get you basically immediatly arrested because the entire local police department would be ordered to do nothing but find you on the grounds of terrorism
I wonder if you could get patreon bucks for doing this shit if you also posted helmet cam videos of doing it.
