High costs for incorrect emergency report: 18-year-old in duty!

High costs for incorrect emergency report: 18-year-old in duty!

In a scandalous incident, an 18-year-old in Vorarlberg has given a bomb threat, which now has serious consequences. The police made it clear that there was never any danger, but the security forces concerned still had to move out. The threat, consisting of only six words, has ensured that the young man must now pay for the cost of commitment. This is done on the basis of the Security Police Act, which regulates the offsetting of costs in the event of deliberately or grossly negligent police operations, as the Kleine Zeitung reported.

The costs caused by this willful false message are now the responsibility of the perpetrator. This not only represents a deterrent measure for possible imitators, but also shows how serious the authorities take such threats. According to the police, the emergency services immediately informed the responsible bodies to ensure security. In the future, this incident could result in legal consequences for similarly stored cases, since the Security Police Act specifies clear guidelines, as can be dealt with with false calls, as can be seen from the Bundestag document.
