But that alone is not rich in finds, Christoph Hebbecker. He is the spokesperson of a Department of the Cologne public Prosecutor’s office, the relevant criminal hate comments followed, in particular in the case of suspected sedition. Through close cooperation with the media such as RTL, “the Cologne Express”, and the German wave, with the North Rhine-Westphalian state office of criminal investigation and the state media authority you want to achieve an “effective sanction”. “Our aim is not to punish the perpetrators, otherwise it holds you by the next fact,” says Hebbecker.

“scum”
Hebbecker says, “everyone who is in the network, two clicks on the road, sees a crime”. More often, insults like “scum” or “freak” are. The Belief is widespread that you can’t do anything about it, and the judicial system have little interest in a pursuit.

Elaborate puzzle work
One of the most elaborate investigations, the police was in Heilbronn. Ahmet C., then 21, was noticed two years ago at a rose Monday celebration, he was assigned to folders from the festival hall, landed in police custody and accused of later officials of the police Neckarsulm, to have beaten him. On his Facebook page he posted a photo of himself with a swollen eye – what to more than 600 comments were received. In many of them police officers were insulted, such as “Nazis, dirty cops, sons of Whores, idiots”. In the other, the abbreviation ACAB: “All cops are bastards”.

Ahmet C.’s allegations against the police were investigated by an investigation, the colleagues had acted correctly, says Belz. The young man was convicted of resistance against law enforcement officers to a fine of 3000 euros. An officer tried to identify the author of the hate-posts, and wrote in part, under the fantasy name of. Of a request in Facebook, which would have been associated with a complex legal assistance, we were apart, so Belz. Instead, the colleague I observed for months and months the Internet presence of the Suspect and at some point “better in their Facebook-profiles and known as the self”. She compared the names with the register, compared the photos, was looking for posted on car number plates, until it was safe to know, with whom they had to do it.
