The law says that you don't detain diplomats, so them ignoring those diplomatic passports and choosing to ignore the law should mean something. As you say, German (police) usually doesn't break the law.
- raverbashing 4y agoYes. But you probably need some time to validate the passport as well
- NullPrefix 4y agoValidate diplomatic passports by taking the phones away?
- dkjaudyeqooe 4y agoThe point the parent was making is that Germans can be a little inflexible when it comes to "the rules". There's a tendency to follow them regardless of the larger context. So the diplomatic law wins out, but not in the mind of the border agent who has been instructed by the system to search the parenger using standard procedure (confiscate phones) and is not concerned with things outside the scope of his task, even if his actions are technically illegal.
- oaiey 4y agoGerman here: it is called bureaucracy. The beauty of it: everyone is treated by the same rules, no exceptions, No bending. Diplomatic immunity inside the EU for an EU immunity. What is that? Political/legislative immunity okay but diplomatic immunity? Anyway, no idea what happened there.
