Görlitz: Polish man does without detention and pays 600 euros!

At night there was an interesting incident on the highway near Görlitz. A 34-year-old Polish man who wanted to cross the border came in trouble with border controls. During this review, it turned out that there was an arrest warrant against the man that had recently been issued by the public prosecutor's office in Frankfurt am Main.

The reason for the arrest warrant was a conviction for theft by the Frankfurt District Court. As a result, the man was presented with the choice: he was able to either pay the outstanding fine or compete. In view of the situation, the arrested decided to pay the fine. With the handover of 600 euros, he was able to avert the threat of imprisonment and thus continue his journey unhindered.

important aspect of border controls

The border controls play a crucial role, especially for people with a current arrest warrant. In this case, the federal police officers proved that they are attentive and efficient in control activity, which can lead to being seized. It is not the first time that such reviews may prevent criminal activities.

Above all, the possibility of escaping through the payment of a financial compensation of detention, raises questions about fairness and dealing with delinquent persons. In the present case, the man was able to clarify the situation relatively quickly and continue his journey, but this also reinforces the problem of introducing fines for offenses such as theft.

The survey of such amounts and the possibility of paying them have caused different views in society. Some people see a possibility for a quick way out in the fine, while others argue that in some cases it is considered inadequate to punish the offense appropriately.

The incident is therefore not only an example of the functioning of the federal police at the border, but also raises basic questions about the legal situation and the handling of punishments. It remains to be seen how such situations will be treated in the future. Numerous similar cases could arise in the coming months, so that the discourse on the reform of punishments and their effects on society could gain in importance.
