Law Stuff

 If you go back about a decade....we've had in my regional state of Hessen....a bit of trouble when emergency crews (police, fire or ambulance) are called out to where there are crowds.  

In simple talk....some pumped-up folks have been making trouble...threatening folks.  So the politicians finally stood up in the state this week and added some text to the law about attacking public safety folks.

Section 125 of the state criminal code had some added words....if you threatened or acted-out with the crews...you could be looking at six months of jail, with a fine.

Why the necessity?  I'd say alcohol-effect has played a role....along with casual drug-use.  I won't say it's a guy-thing, because women have played a role as well. Will the law change anything?  No....the booze-drug effect will continue, and some folks will find themselves waking up in jail, and being told several months in prison will be the likely outcome....of something they don't remember much of.
