>The armed forces’ authorisation pursuant to § 14.3 of the Aviation Security Act (Luftsicherheitsgesetz – LuftSiG) to shoot down by the direct use of armed force an aircraft that is intended to be used against human lives is incompatible with the right to life under Article 2.2 sentence 1 of the Basic Law in conjunction with the guarantee of human dignity under Article 1.1 of the Basic Law to the extent that it affects persons on board the aircraft who are not participants in the crime.
- hubert123 10y agoIt sounds incredibly dumb and the fact that nobody has challenged and changed this is testament to the pace of public official life. If somebody were to get a nuclear bomb on a civilian plane, the german government would be constitutionally obligated to let them fly to wherever they want. I imagine that in real life the german government would ask France or Great Britain to quickly fly over and do the job for them. Afterwards it's nobody's fault and we can all keep pretending that the Grundgesetz is perfect.
