Police repeatedly impose noise restrictions at demonstrations. This constitutes a serious infringement on fundamental rights. The Berlin police have recently been arguing that it protects the health and safety of their officers as a reason for keeping demonstrations quieter.

The police shoving the meter right into the speaker shows how whack this is. Measurement of sound varies a ton, and if they just stood back they wouldn’t be “injured” by a 90db speaker

It’s not about getting a proper result. It’s about getting less work to do and just as much of a pain in the ass in general.
