German police stopped us on the highway just before Austria: "Your back light is not working. They have really high fines in Austria. You should fix it before crossing the border." 😅

Similar story happened to me. My grandparents were giving me a ride home from school 8 years ago. My grandma unfortunately forgot to buckle her seatbelt. Police of course stopped us and wanted to give my grandparents a fine But when they saw me, they let it slide while saying "buy your grandson a ice cream for that money instead and drive safe". Grandparents indeed bought a ice cream lmao. European cops do be good in most cases. This happened in slovakia btw

You hit the spot! But to be honest it is not fair against the policeman 🤷‍♂️
In Germany it will cost you only 15€ and not one day after expire date. It’s up to two months. 😂

[red_orange]

Not realistic. The US cop fired only two shots, the rule is to empty the mag.

The German Police is indeed really kind If you dont do something wrong

[dnocturn]

The first time I was stopped by the German police was crazy. I was young, just got my drivers licence and didn't know how to behave in this situation. I did not remain in my seat nor in my car. I removed my seatbelt, got out of the car and walked towards the police car, before they even got out of theirs. They freaked out and we had a nice conversation, that I should not do this ever again. Then they told me, that they almost sh*t their pants, as they first thought I was going to attack them. There I realized, what I did wrong and finally remembered all of the movie scenes and that they are supposed to get to your window, while you have to remain in this spot until told otherwise. We laughed our *sses off at this point. Nice cops by the way.

The US police segment somehow was even more stressful than I thought it would be with hearing/seeing Radical Living with an American accent and vibe for the first time!

my father-in-law was a police officer for forty years, and he prides himself on never drawing his gun. he always managed to talk The situation down. (Dutch police)

I'm portuguese and all my previous encounters with Police were always smooth and pleasant, but this last one (about a couple months ago) was a bit more weird and stressful than usual, but ended nicely.
Thing is, I was heading home about 4 AM, and right about before turning to my street, a Police car had reached me behind me (I was actualy driving relaxed and slow, that's why they reached me). I didn't noticed the car behind me was a Police car, and I simply turned the blinkers and moved to my exit (my street).
Just when I entered my street, the car behind me followed me and gave me light signals to stop (not the Police blue lights, the regular road ones). I hesitated for a moment, but then I stopped (at first, I thought it could be some crazy mf, but then I thought it could be some friend of mine or something). Only after I stopped I noticed it was the Police.
I got out of the car, and this was when the conversation was weird....
- Me: Sorry officers, I didn't noticed it were you guys. Did I do something wrong?
- Officer: I don't know. Did You?
- Me: I don't know. I think I didn't. But maybe I did and didn't noticed. Afterall, you are here... Did I ?
- Officer: I don't know. What do you think you did wrong?
- Me: Eh... Maybe I forgot to signal my turn with the blinkers? I mean... I Guess.. Now I don't remember...
- Officer: I don't think that was the case for sure.
(Here I started sweating, like 'wtf is going on?').
Only after those officers got my license and other documents, we (me and them) understood what was going on.
They asked me "Wait, it says here that THIS is your adress... You live here?!". And I said "Yes, on that house with the black roof, on the bottom of the street ".
They asked me why I was up so late, and I explained that I played at a folclore festival that night, I play in an amateur tradicional folclore group as hobby, and I even showed them my instruments in the backseat. Oh, and I also had a couple plates and glass cups in a box, that's why I was driving slow not to break them.
They started laughing lots, and said "Now we understand why you turned to this street in such a suspicious way, as soon our car reached you, so quickly, like if you were trying to avoid us, and driving carefuly slow to maintain appearances.. - You simply live here! 😅"
My reaction simply was something like "Oh... That's why all this. Well, it kind of makes sense. I think I would also be suspicious if i was a policeman."

We all had a good laughter and ended up staying a bit talking. Really Nice folks!

And next German police vs German Ordnungsbehörde. They never let you off with a warning!

[ALastification]

Overall accurate but I do have a few things I found inaccurate with the US Cop.

First, it's "License, Registration, and Proof of insurance."

Second, he did not yell loud enough, the police yell a lot louder than that here!

Third, the US cop would have immediately called for backup.

Look: if we germans can learn how to chill, so the rest of the world can.

As a dark skinned immgrant in the USA, who got pulled over by the police quite a few times (speeding, illegal U-turn, texting / talking and driving, and more) I must say that all of my interactions were smooth and easy. I was always respectful, calm, didn’t try to argue or “fight back” - and always got the same calm attitude back.

[THMILLER]

Yep, lived here in Germany for over 20 years and i have to say that the police are very professional and communicate with people unlike the crazy cops back in the USA where shooting is the first response.

[nyarlatothep]

Totally unrealistic, the US cop shot only twice.

[elisabettazuppardi]

-license and registration!
DON'T MOVE!!
🤣🤣

[oliverschmid]

To be honest, i am german and made very good experience with the police in new hampshire. I got lost there, coming from canada in the middle of nowhere. Just been standing beneath the car with a map in my hand as a police car came by. He stopped and i asked him for help. It was unusual for me to see only one officer in the car.
He was very nice and just said i shall follow him, he will bring me to the highway i was looking for.
So i followed him. For almost an hour.
Very nice.

[thepablyko]

one night the german police stopped me on my bike in which i was carrying a friend, they said you know you can´t go 2 people on a bike right? you know you cant be drinking while driving your bike right? you know you should have lights on right? and so on and on, they just told me very politely to stop it and everything was cool! here in spain it would have been 5 different fines amounting to a few thousand euros...

German: Polite and respectful influence




USA: Influence by Grand Theft Auto

America we are one of the most stressed out nations. Maybe we should make that no work on sunday law. Looks like it works.
