Police forces drivers to urine test - scandalous control in Upper Swabia!

Ravensburg, Deutschland - An incident in Gaisbeuren makes headlines: Lucas Harreiter, a 30-year-old driver who transports people with disabilities, asked the police during a routine check to take a urine test. This check took place about two weeks ago when Harreiter was traveling with his specially equipped bus. At first he did not notice that the police had his sights and finally drove into a parking bay when the flashing lights on. The officials, including a man about 40-year-old, carried out a so-called general person control, which Harreiter found inappropriate. In particular, his colorful knitting hat, which was brought from Morocco, seemed to be the focus, as he expressed himself.

But that was only the beginning of a strange situation. After the police suspected signs of drug use at Harreiter - although he made it clear that he did not take any drugs - he had to undergo a voluntary urine test. Harreiter was made clear that alternatively he could have done a blood test in the police station. Under the pressure of the officials, he was forced to urinate on the side of the road, which brought him and some passers -by in an embarrassing situation. Because the police describe this test as "voluntary", although the possibilities were severely restricted, as Harreiter confirmed. Despite his concerns about the intimate sphere of the test, the police did not mercy, and after a quick test he was finally allowed to continue driving, while he was pointed out to the importance of his job, in which drug use should not be considered. The police emphasize that, whenever possible, they want to pay attention to the intimate sphere, but the incident raises questions about the control practices, such as reported.

In a further incident in the Löbtau district of Dresden, the police were alerted on the same day after several young people consumed alcohol. The officials met 10 minors between the ages of 14 and 17, some of whom were alcoholic and then had to bring them back to their legal guardians. The incident again shows the challenges with which the police are confronted when it comes to security and protection of youth.
