I initially posted this is in another thread, but I realized it's so funny (in a sad, sad way) that I just had to repost it here. Before I forget: There was actually a politician (or whatever) who compared internet forums with a loaded shotgun because people can so easily voice their opinions and insult people there. Think I want to leave Germany? You can bet your ass I want to.
Haha, yeah.. I couldn't agree more. I'm in Germany at the moment, and sick of it as well. Can't wait to leave.. Just yesterday I was stopped by undercover police in an unmarked car while driving my bike. Apparently I matched the description of a serial rapist in the area (6ft, 220 lbs, black bike, leather jacket). IMO the worst part is they had me, attempted to search and 'take me to the station'. The one good thing about knowing ones rights is knowing what the police CAN and CANT do to you. When I told them they're not taking me in unless they charge me with something and inform my lawyer, they actually said (get this) that they would have me arrested for insulting an officer, and being 'disorderly' (driving my bike while listening to my ipod). I got out of it, but yeah, just wanted to agree with you at germany sucking and having pathetic laws.
