Drunk Rüganers brutally attack police officers after an accident!

An explosive scenario took place on Rügen, which once again illustrates the dangers of drunk driving. A witness alerted police after spotting a badly damaged vehicle in Bergen. The officers quickly found out that two men - 20 and 23 years old and visibly drunk - were involved in the accident and had already fled in their car. As the MOPO reported, the alcohol level was above the permissible limits for both: 1.66 and 1.77 per mille.

The police received positive feedback for their quick response. After a short game of hide-and-seek, the officers were able to track down the two men again and conduct a breath alcohol test on one of the suspects. But during the preparations, the drunks attacked the police officers. “Just someone scandalizing the order!” one might ask when one considers the aggressiveness of the perpetrators. A police officer was slightly injured in the ensuing escape.

Resistance to the police

But that wasn't the end. Even in captivity, the men resisted and had to be brought under control using additional emergency services and the federal police. Blood samples were also taken at the request of the public prosecutor. The legal consequences are unclear: both men face charges of drunk driving, hit-and-run, as well as assault and resistance to law enforcement officers.

At the crime scene, it is important to remain calm and know your rights. A defendant should use his or her right to refuse to testify and, if necessary, consult a lawyer to avoid falling into a legal trap. More about the legal basis and consequences will be provided on anwalt.de explained. Here you also find out that from 1.1 per mille you are absolutely unfit to drive. Driving drunk is not only dangerous, but also a risk to your own freedom.

Costs and consequences

The penalties should not be underestimated. Anyone who drives under the influence of alcohol can face a fine or a prison sentence of up to one year. In this particular case, the two men face even harsher consequences according to Section 315c of the Criminal Code, which provides for up to five years in prison for dangerous behavior in traffic. The Federal Court of Justice ruled in 1990 that every case of negligence or intent in drunk driving places strict demands on the driver. A current overview of this can be found at lawyer.org.

In conclusion, the incident on Rügen reminds us urgently how important responsible behavior in road traffic is. Even one slip can endanger not only your own life, but also that of others. Every drop counts, in the end the question remains: Is it really worth it?
