Kind of related here. If they get too vocal about their antidemocratic goals, then the german state has a lot of rights to stop them. Problem is that these people do their best to not appear antidemocratic. Also the courts are quite busy currently here and they start prosecuting someone for it only if it's an importnat case

You'd think proclaiming yourself an enforcer of any law, real or not, and acting as such towards other citizens would be rather explicitly illegal. Like would there not be droves of legislation written to deal with gangs and protection rackets and shit that apply to stuff like this?

[–]CrimsonShrike [スコア非表示]  (8子コメント)

But he also supports government programs to help the poor and unemployed, investments in infrastructure and hospitals and thinks the common good is above everything else.

Although that's more bruce wayne. Batman is simply a vigilante inspired by revenge. In "The Red Son" he fights for freedom for instance.

[–]ridik_ulass [スコア非表示]  (2子コメント)

so batman is the stick and bruce wayne is the carrot? seems like a good way to convince people to do anything.

Except for the hurting people part. And being masked. And carrying weapons.

[–]CeterumCenseo85 [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Batman carries unregistered weapons (he actually manufacteurs them!) and beats up people, which isn't ok unless you're doing it in self defense or in an "emergency situation" (as the German law calls it) where it's the only solution. But even in emergency situations (that aren't about self defense), beating someone up usually wouldn't fly.

If anything, Batman would have a much better chance at getting away with his superhero routine in the US, where they do have bounty hunters and such.

[–]lookmeat [スコア非表示]  (7子コメント)

What about fashion police? Or other similar terms.

What you can't do is:

  • You make it clear you are not police and don't have power.
  • You don't imprison, harass or attack other people, as these would be considered crimes, especially since there would be no law that permits this (otherwise police would do it).

The problem was that probably the latter was happening but there was no proof of it. So it made sense to at least split them and not make them as recognizable.

[–]Korashy [スコア非表示]  (1子コメント)

If all they do is hand out leaflets then that's perfectly fine. It's free speech. However, were they try to enforce any "laws" then they would most certainly be arrested over it. It's really no different than those Westboro Baptist nutjobs you see in the US.

[–]fluffstravels [スコア非表示]  (7子コメント)

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shomrim_(neighborhood_watch_group)

Edit: just wanna talk a little about this. Hasidic Jews do this in NYC. They basically bully any outsiders who enter their community and have such a large population, law enforcement is afraid to touch them. They're worried the Hasidic community will mobilize and vote them out of office. People in this community are also incredibly hard to prosecute because they will lie for each other. There are plenty of articles on how they get away with it and it's kinda scary a religious community can hold so much clout in a supposedly liberal city.

[–]Thesleeperhold [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

This is a pretty misguided and hateful post. They don't bully anyone. Do you live in NY? Anyone can enter a Hasidic neighborhood like Crown Heights and you would never even know that Shomrim exist. And also, in London

In 2013, after the murder of drummer Lee Rigby, and an increase in Hate Crime towards the wider Muslim Community,[72] Stamford Hill Shomrim offered to help the local Muslim Community and keep a watchful eye on local Mosques and Muslim Community Centres[73][74] which was gratefully welcomed by the North London Muslim Community as stated by Eusoof Amerat, a Muslim community advocate in Hackney[75] and commended by Hackney Police Borough Commander.[76] Shomrim also advised the centre on security issues according to Munaf Zeena, the chairman of the North London Muslim Community Centre.[75]

It's not an obscure "loophole" law. The German legal system does not have a system of precedent, so there has to be a law for almost everything.

[–]struds [スコア非表示]  (3子コメント)

Not really a loop hole. Being Germany I could see why they have that specific law. They had a little problem with a political party that liked to wear uniforms a few years back.

[–]Ztiller1 [スコア非表示]  (23子コメント)

To be fair, if that is all they have to charge them with it also means that they have not done anything else. If that is the case, then they have not harrassed, threatened, disturbed, destroyed or in any other way interfered with other peoples lives, which means it's not that big of an issue.

Still, i'm glad that Germany is putting down the foot against it.

[–]flynnsanity3 [スコア非表示]  (3子コメント)

It seems from the article that they were charged before they had the chance to actually do anything, which is a relief.

[–]Dirt_Bike_Zero [スコア非表示]  (3子コメント)

How about impersonating a police officer? Id like to think that it would be illegal to claim you are any type of police. If not, what's to stop anyone from appointing themselves neighborhood police, dog poop police, etc?

[–]shemp33 [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

In the US, impersonation is a pretty big deal.

I would imagine these guys are portraying themselves as "fake" police - not sanctioned by any governmental authority, and posing as legitimate officers could lead to them falsely imprisoning, kidnapping, theft / confiscation of property, and who knows what else.

The fact of these guys being radicalized only escalates the importance of getting them to stop doing this asap.

[–]asraniel [スコア非表示]  (1子コメント)

From what i understand, the problem was that they did not actually enforce anything. They were just walking around saying they would, but never did. So that made it much more complicated. Its not like they walked around arresting people or anything.

[–]sotonohito [スコア非表示]  (15子コメント)

Why? They're just a bunch of sad wankers yelling at people in bars that they should stop drinking. It isn't as if they had any sort of actual power.

If they so much as touch someone they're committing criminal assault. They can't arrest people, they can't try people, all they can do is make themselves look like assholes and prejudice everyone against Muslims.

The proper response would be to hire some strippers to follow them around naked while eating bacon cheeseburgers, then pointing and laughing at their red faced impotent rage. Hell, I live in Texas and I'd contribute to a German stripper and cheeseburger to mock "Sharia Police" fund.

So you can't Nick them for Impersonating a police officer, disruption of peace and possible anti social behaviour offence? or under some Counter terrorism act? Now I'm not cop but they sound like charges you could rack up in the UK

[–]DRlulworth [スコア非表示]  (12子コメント)

We do that in Brooklyn. I live in a extremist orthodox jewish neiborhood, unfortunately. They have their own "police", own laws, and basically mirror wahabi types of shariat laws, but here in New York City.

[–]SplurgyA [スコア非表示]  (2子コメント)

We had something similar in Stamford Hill in London, with posters up telling women what side of the road to walk on.

I initially took them a bit more seriously than "Sharia Zones" because so far in the UK Sharia Zones have basically just been bored teenagers looking to start shit whereas the Shomrim are basically an organised private police force for Jewish people. It later turned out that the Shomrim are working in conjunction with the police to prevent anti-semitic hate crimes and act as community liasons and don't have special powers or anything to do with the posters, which were put up by a local orthodox group for a parade.

[–]PapaNickWrong [スコア非表示]  (7子コメント)

Sharia is one of the main facets of the Islamic faith... which acts as much as a system of law as it does a system of religion. I recently finished a series of classes on Islam and I can say wholeheartedly i agree with you. Women who support the caveats (not religion itself) willingly should realize that women are abused around the world in the name of the same "laws" they apparently choose to follow. Think twice about these things people!

I think the issue is that these are just a bunch of guys wearing vests and yelling at people. They're assholes that are trying to perpetrate a shitty point of view, but so are the guys in my city standing on street corners and subway stations screaming through a megaphone that I'm going to hell if I don't renounce whores and sodomists.

Intimidating you by constantly yelling at you though isn't a right

[–]sinosi [スコア非表示]  (15子コメント)

They should absolutely be punished if they're making threats against people's well being, but the only thing that article says is that they walk around in vests and tell people to stop drinking, listening to music, and gambling. They never mentioned any actual threats. I don't know about German laws, but at least as far as my ethics goes that all falls under free speech.

[–]give_him_room_hooper [スコア非表示]  (7子コメント)

To someone that doesn't know better, however, someone with an official "looking" uniform that says Police on it telling you to do (or not do) something can have the desired effect. No one would care if these guys were just shouting their bullshit from a street corner but the article says they were impersonating police, harassing people and trying to give them orders, and telling everyone that they were in a "Sharia controlled zone." That's not free speech. That's some fucked up bullshit that needs to be stopped.

[–]sinosi [スコア非表示]  (6子コメント)

It's an orange vest that says "Sharia Police." Confusing these guys with real law officers is like one or two steps above obeying the orders of a Female Body Inspector. And don't get me wrong, it's fucked up bullshit and it does need to stop, but I just can't ethically justify legal action against these guys.

Edit: I read that FBI thing I wrote again and even I think that's pretty stupid now. Still, these guys don't at all look like police offers.

Düsseldorf state court said on Tuesday that eight of the nine accused men can face trial on the grounds of "violating laws against wearing uniforms with political messages."

Umm isn't there a law against pretending to be an authority figure sanctioned by the state? Surely there is, or else people would walk around pretending to be police, etc. So why aren't these guys being charged with a crime like that?

[–]ghsgjgfngngf 131ポイント132ポイント  (37子コメント)

Because there is no real Sharia Police that they impersonated and it can't be argued that they could have been confused with actual police. Impersonating some kind of construction worker is not a crime. Not saying they aren't assholes but they didn't impersonate anyone.

[–]warpus 42ポイント43ポイント  (32子コメント)

They were walking around pretending to be authority figures sanctioned by the state, ordering people around, while they did not in fact have any sort of authorization to do so. Just because actual Sharia Police doesn't exist doesn't change that, right?

[–]Yokurt 52ポイント53ポイント  (3子コメント)

to be authority figures sanctioned by the state

The state doesn't sanction any kind of "Sharia Police". Some people just believed they have authority because of the word "Police".

[–]Litterball [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

"Police" isn't even a German word, so there is little chance for confusion. If they had told anyone they were actual police they would have been convicted for that, but apparently they didn't.

What they did is still not right and now it turns out there is a law that covers this, so all is well in the end.

There are Islamists who believe that Shariah, as it is the word of God, must be enforced on everyone, everywhere, with or without their consent.

From the muslims I know, none of them really talks about their Religion. Most muslims I know will also not immediately say that it's due to Religion when they do something due to Religion. For example when someone tells them to drink alcohol, they'll tell no, when someone insists, they'll say that they don't drink alcohol. If it's time to pray, they'll leave saying that they got something to do, and if someone tries to insist in making them stay, they'll say that it's important, not mentioning it's about Religion.

Due to this a lot of Sources that make others convert to Islam are not made by good muslims, but by muslim extremists who're searching for new members.

Flip it on its head, put on some anti sharia police uniforms and shout at them for not drinking etc and see what happens.

Can somebody explain why this doesn't violate some kind of harassment or nuisance laws? It sounds like intimidating behavior.

Can't wait till their leader goes to jail and writes a book about his struggles such only serves to increase his popularity among Muslims and refugees, then starts running in politics

"political messages"? How about you can't wear something that says "Police" unless you are an actual cop?

[–]Tech_Itch [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

German police uniforms typically say "Polizei". Nobody's going to confuse you for a real police officer if you walk around with a shirt saying "Police". They'll probably think your shirt is advertising watches or something similar.

Maybe De Rigo Group should sue these people for tarnishing their Police -brand...

Well, germany actually has some institutions whose employees are dressed quite similar to german cops, but have no authority except handing out parking tickets. But instead of 'Polizei' their clothes (and cars) have 'Polizeibehörde' written on them.

Sounds harmless, provided the citizenry understands that it essentially means "meter maids"; that's how they are often referred to in the States.

I'm sure they had preferred being judged by a sharia court.

The bearded fundamentalists were also observed calling for an end to gambling as they carried notices, in English, declaring a "Sharia Controlled Zone."

In doing this, I see several issues:

1) Command and control part I.

These buffoons are asserting that their group has "control" over this "zone" of Germany, and that they are the executors of the authority in control. This means they claim to govern.

I'd say charge them with impersonating a government official.

2) Command and control part II.

It seems obvious that this was an attempt to overthrow the power of the government within a part of Germany's territory. That's probably either espionage or treason, depending on what their current citizenship stays is.

Let's not mince words here: This was a failed attempt at a coup de tat within the municipality they are located in. They should be punished accordingly.

3) Policing.

They are clearly trying to officiate the enforcement of a system of law. They did this with uniforms, claiming to have authority derived from that legal system. To me, that sounds like impersonating a law enforcement officer.

Europe in general needs stricter laws against religion and islamists.

uniforms

So, assuming (or attempting to create the impression that they have) authority that they don't have is not a problem?

I despise religion in all of its forms. I get irrationally angry when they try to impose their shit beliefs. I get even angrier when they claim their beliefs to be morals. I think we as a society have become to accommodating to religion. You don't want to sit next to a woman on a plane? Cool, get off the fucking plane. You can't touch pork products? Cool, then you can't be hired where they serve them. We have this problem with the false equivalency of ideas. We somehow got it in our heads that all opinions/beliefs are created equal. We've lost our objectivity and our own morality in the pursuit of tolerance. The outcome of which has made homophobia, oppression, sexism, and ignorance more prevalent. I am perfectly content with shaming your dumb ass beliefs. I laugh in your face because you've earned it.

I hope they get fucked good.

But you know, in a bad way. Not that they come out all satisfied.

[–]fubarspeaks [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

So, they went into German bars and nightclubs and demanded patrons stop drinking and listening to music? I'm sure they were very politely received...

[–]coherent_thought [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

THIS is what Germany gets ruffled about!? A uniform? Maybe the fact that there are "Sharia Police" at all should give them pause.

[–]Nuwanda84 [スコア非表示]  (9子コメント)

I've seen a couple of these idiots. The fact the media throws this term "police" out there doesn't exactly help the case. It's basically just 2-3 idiots walking around trying to "teach" you about what they might believe in. For the record, Christian fanatics do the same. They either scream around in the city to "teach" you their BS or they go door to door, it's just as annoying.

[–]dehpz [スコア非表示]  (4子コメント)

Just as annoying as Sharia? Mormons, Jehovas etc. don't enforce their religious views on to you. They want to open a dialogue. Do you know what laws are under the Sharia?

[–]Sarius1997 [スコア非表示]  (1子コメント)

Those idiots neither do. They just walk around the city and tell you, don´t do that or you´ll go to hell. Exactly like our christian fanatics here.

[–]Nebeldeskreiges [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Also pro tip, say you are an ex-(religion.) this is prohibited for Jehovah's, and maybe for Mormons, to talk to you.
