Before the holidays, the police union calls for “moral courage.” If too many people gather in the neighboring apartment, you can seek the conversation first instead of calling the officers immediately.
reThe police union has asked people not to notify investigators at Christmas of any alleged violation of the crown. “First I would go to the neighbors myself and, if there are really too many people, I would ask them to respect the rules,” said Jörg Radek, federal vice president of the Police Union (GdP), of the “Süddeutsche Zeitung”. “.
“You don’t always have to call the police right away. This pandemic also requires a little moral courage from all of us. “
Police will not “go from house to house for no reason and count how many people are sitting at the table,” he said. “That would not work at all, it would be a violation of the basic right to the integrity of the apartment. But if we have clues that the rules are being violated somewhere, then we investigate. “
Increased police presence at the end of the year
During the Christmas and New Years holidays, contact restrictions apply due to Corona, large family gatherings are not allowed. The federal states have issued different rules on the number of meetings allowed.
