Is any modern police agency actually still doing the traditional lineup? Any court would throw that out over here (Germany).

I have submitted proof to the mods and am awaiting confirmation.

Thank you!

I can't really judge the US cops, as I have never been to the US, all my experience with them comes from the internet.

I think the problem in the US is that the standards for hiring are too low and the training is too short.

It is simply not smart to give people that much power and responsibility after a few months of training.

But in general I think the US cops are doing a great job in a VERY dangerous enviroment, but they are bound by a few laws that are simply stupid and useless (war on drugs, open container law and many more) and the fact that they are simple employees who can be fired at any time and as such are very susceptible to being pressured into ticket quotas, etc. which simply are non-existant in Germany.

There is simply no point in prosecuting the users. You would have to get the big dealers and those are very smart people and very, very hard to catch.

By legalizing all drugs, you would put all these fucking assholes that make money of other peoples suffering out of a job with the stroke of a pen.

Then you could have out higher quality drugs with less dangerous "extenders"(not sure of the english word, the stuff they put in drugs to make it look like its more than it is). Dealers have been known to put rat poison in cocaine, simply because it is white and looks like coke.

If the state had a monopoly on selling drugs, it would have a much bigger chance to get people to quit doing drugs entirely as it could steer them towards help programs and such.

With the way the laws are know, those who suffer the most are the addicts.

A heroin addict NEEDS his fix. If the police takes away his heroin, he will simply walk around the next corner and rob someone/break into a car to get money to buy a new fix.

Honestly, if I didn't know how it is in other parts of Germany, I'd say it's almost non-existant.

There are so many immigrants in Frankfurt, neo-nazis wearing neo-nazi brands would simply get their asses kicked.

Every now and they stage protests, announcing 500-1000 neo-nazis and showing up with 50-100, with thousands, if not tens of thousands of protestors protesting them.

They are a pretty pathetic bunch.
