Can anyone tell me what criminal offence is to be reported to the police here?
These people must have been very angry for a long time. One is almost tempted to give them the Sonntagsblitz (an advertising paper with some local news, produced I think by the Nürnberger/Fürther Nachrichten).
Here are some less angry people:
See earlier entry on Communicating with the postman.
In the interest of helping these people test some of their legal options, it should be worth delivering some leaflets or free papers.
Yes, but you’d have to be very careful. I wouldn’t put it past them to do DNA testing.
I can’t imagine anyone delivering free newspapers would look at this sign.
Maybe they mean the other Anzeige, the “putting it in the paper” kind, like an Advertisement or an Announcement ;-)
I guess either unerw
Is it actually a criminal offence?
Definitely not my area of expertise ;) Does Anzeige mean it has to be a criminal offence? I suppose it’s some kind of Vergehen or Ordnungswidrigkeit?
I really ought to check it, but am a bit busy at the moment. BGH suggests civil law. Now if it were like libel or slander, which seems conceivable, it could still be a criminal offence, but only prosecuted on the application of the victim, which would be a Strafantrag rather than a Strafanzeige. But you may well be right. As for whether it’s realistic to press charges, I suppose they could do something. Maybe they’ve tried in the past and this huge sign is what they were recommended to put up to give themselves a stronger case next time?
