Driver refuses to be checked: police operation in Golßen!
Last Friday evening there was a lot of excitement in Golßen, in the Dahme-Spreewald district. A driver who was driving his Toyota resisted the police check and caused a stir. According to reports from Niederlausitz Current The police finally managed to stop the vehicle and arrest the driver.
The man, who showed noticeable physical signs during the check, refused both a breath alcohol test and a rapid drug test. Instead, he was asked to provide a blood sample, which is not uncommon in such incidents. The police immediately launched an investigation into charges of endangering road traffic and resisting law enforcement officers.
Legal basis
But what exactly does it mean to resist law enforcement officers? In Germany, Section 113 of the Criminal Code regulates this issue. How on Law Online is declared, anyone who resists the execution of an official act using force or the threat of force is liable to prosecution. This applies not only to police officers, but also to other public officials.
In this specific case, the driver could also be prosecuted for other crimes. A similar case has shown that, under certain circumstances, coercion (Section 240 Paragraph 1 StGB) or driving without a license (Section 21 Paragraph 1 StVG) can lead to charges. These legal aspects put the situation of such behavior in a clearer light, as an overview Lawyer.de clarified.
Further police reports from the region
The police were not only deployed in Golßen. In Lieberose, a search for missing persons was successfully completed, which certainly brought a feeling of happiness to those affected. In Königs Wusterhausen, the fire department assisted the police when a balcony fire was extinguished; Fortunately, the affected apartment remains habitable. Another incident that heated up tempers occurred in Zeuthen/Wildau, where people rang doorbells and collected signatures, but claimed to be “deaf and mute”. This practice is considered a possible scam.
The overall picture of events provides insight into the challenges facing police in the region. The fate of officials is often characterized by massive resistance, as the case in Golßen shows. It remains to be hoped that the legal consequences for the driver's resistance will not only be effective for him but also as a warning signal for others on the road.
