Young racer flees from the police and hides in a taxi: arrest!

On Sunday, June 29th, an incident in Triester Strasse in favorites caused excitement. During a traffic control, a 21-year-old car driver noticed with his aggressive driving style. The motorcycle policeman who stopped him quickly found that the young man had no driver's license and behaved uncooperatively towards the officials. But that was not all: a review revealed that there was an open criminal file against the 21-year-old in four-digit amount. When the police wanted to arrest him, the driver vehemently defended himself and managed to flee due to his physical strength. In the heat of the battle, a search was initiated immediately.

The case took an unexpected turn when a taxi driver informed the police that the fugitive was hidden in the footwell of his taxi. So the police were able to stop the taxi, but the 21-year-old tried to flee again and was finally arrested. He was blamed for several allegations, including resistance to state power and tried serious bodily harm. He was also charged with violations of traffic police regulations. The whole incident shows how quickly a traffic control can transform into a bizarre cat-and-mouse game.

legal context

The escape from the police is not a cavalier offense and can result in serious legal consequences. According to the Bussgeld catalog , police officers can stop drivers, for example to check the driver's license and registration certificate. If a driver disregarded the holding bid, he not only threatens fines, but also points in Flensburg. It becomes particularly hot when someone does not have any low resistance: According to § 113 StGB, this can result in very serious consequences that range from money to prison terms.

a mere away is not considered to be an escape, but only when violent resistance is actually carried out. This legal framework was specified, among other things, as part of a case in front of the Federal Court of Justice (BGH). There it was made clear that there is only resistance if the perpetrator's action is an active action with a coercion character that prevents or complicates the enforcement measure of the police.
