You are applying your views and preconceptions to this situation without understanding the cultural context.
Privacy rights are very strong in Germany and most people hate gawkers/voyeurs that take photos in such situations. Similarly as it is an offense to name either suspect or victim of a crime in the media, while in America that is common practice.
And courts have leeway - the justice system is not perfect but if you take a film to show an officer/medical staff abusing someone no court will punish you for that.

No hiding from the cameras in public service. Passing a law that protects the government from accountability under the guise of citizen rights is pretty underhanded, and quite typical of socialism.
- olliej 5y agoThat last sentence displayed your preconceptions and biases very clearly. America has an array of similar or even more abusive laws and it’s clearly not socialist.
