Police in Hoppegarten: Tuning scene on the red list!

Hoppegarten, Deutschland - Last Saturday there was a large police operation in Hoppegarten, which dealt with the tuning scene. According to [Cityreport.pnr24-online.de] (https://cityreport.pnr24-online.de/polizei-im-etie- 42/), a few hundred tuning enthusiasts came together with their vehicles. With a large number of authorities, including the riot police, the Berlin police and the regulatory office, comprehensive control was organized.

The emergency services built two checkpoints in the commercial area and looked at around 150 motor vehicles over a period of six hours. In this inspection, some participants had to experience a frosty awakening: procedures were initiated against several tuning violations, including three traffic crimes and twelve administrative offenses. In particular, a 19-year-old pike-up driver who was traveling on his Ducati without a valid driving license.

technical defects and fines

The police also discovered ten vehicles that did not have a valid operating license due to technical interventions. An example of this was a 25-year-old Berliner who manipulated the exhaust system of his BMW 535. Such tuning measures can not only be expensive, but also dangerous. According to bussgeldkatalog.net, for example, fines between 10 and 180 euros - depending on which regulation was transferred.

It is particularly explosive that vehicles with an expired operating license can not only be fined with fines, but are also closed in an emergency. During the controls in Hoppegarten, ten warning funds and nine deficiency cards were distributed, while the regulatory office was able to punish 24 parking violations.

speed measurements with surprises

A central point of the use was also the review of the permissible top speeds on the B1. Of the 1,600 vehicles that passed the measuring point, 68 were too fast. One driver crossed the permitted speed of 70 km/h with a maximum value of 107 km/h and was only allowed to take up its place in road traffic after a dismissal.

The police measures are directed according to Bussgeldkatalog.org not only on cars, but also on motorcycles, trucks and even e-scooters, which are subject to all specific regulations during tuning. There is a clear difference between technical and optical tuning.

Technical tuning usually improves performance and the vehicle, while optical tuning is particularly responsible for the individual design of the appearance. The latter includes painting or conversion of interiors, for example.

The good news for the tuning fans? Other similar missions have already been announced for 2025. It remains exciting to observe how the scene will develop and what measures are taken to ensure safety on the streets.
