Driver's license for knife perpetrators: Berlin's new anti-force weapon!

Driver's license for knife perpetrators: Berlin's new anti-force weapon!

Berlin, Deutschland - Berlin faces a threatening wave of knife attacks! The numbers speak volumes: In 2023, the incidents rose by five percent - a total of 3482 knife attacks were registered, while it was 3317 the year before. The interior senator of Berlin, Iris Spranger (SPD, 63), now pulls the ripcord and conjures up a new concept from her hat hat to stop the increasing violence on Berlin's streets.

The so-called “Berlin strategy” should really take the wind out of the sails! The key point: A driver's license withdrawal for those who are particularly aggressive. Spranger plans to make multi -fachters who show a high willingness to use violence by losing their "cardboard". A striking example: Anyone who commits crimes with a knife six times in two years could lose their driver's license.

"Coordination Center Messer": Facts on the table!

So far, the paragraphs 69 and 69a of the Road Traffic Act hardly seem to be used. The reason? Missing data transmission! But there is a remedy in sight: A newly founded “coordination office Messer” at the Berlin State Criminal Police Office is to forward the required information to the responsible state office for citizens and regulatory matters (Labo). From the beginning of next year, the Labo could act directly as soon as there are several convictions. Eleven known perpetrators could be affected immediately!

other tough measures

But that's not all! The expert round has decided further explosive measures to improve the security situation: In this way, individual bans for wearing weapons in public for repeated perpetrators should be pronounced. Lawn ban zones are also planned around the clock at Görlitzer Park, Kottbusser Tor and Leopoldplatz from January 2025. In addition, special prevention initiatives are introduced in accommodation for refugees. Berlin takes action and ends with the razor -sharp threat!
