That’s why the Germans don’t even have a video of the carnage in Berlin – An unbelievable story

The German Authorities have not in their hands nor a video from the moment of the mayhem…
the christmas market of Berlin or by the killer at the time that leaving the scene of the crime, it was revealed today.
The reason? The almost complete ban in Germany on the existence of security cameras in public places. The more draconian privacy rules in Germany provide that the videotaping in public places is prohibited, to a large extent -yes, even this year some politicians have blocked efforts for installation of security cameras in the central squares of Berlin.
But how did this strict German policy on the protection of privacy? Essentially, it is a decision against a regime of the past, and specifically from the period of the Nazis, then there was the ultimate -even tyrannical – control of the people by the regime of Hitler. But then, during the Cold War, when the Stasi in the former East Germany was watching everyone and everything.

Due to the protection of privacy in Germany, initially, the Tunisian appeared with covered eyes
“Then the state knew everything about you. As a result, the German people today are afraid of even the idea that it can be monitored,” said a German journalist in the Daily Mail.
The police, for its part, says that this situation with the ban has gone far enough, meaning that the driver of the truck who sowed death in the square Breitscheidplatz have been unable to identify anywhere from camera as well as left on foot from the point.
Yes, this was as a consequence of the panic-stricken cops to arrest the wrong man, the 23-year-old Pakistani have endorsed Baluch. Now, the German police believe they will eventually arrest the butcher guide, although the key witness, the Polish driver Lukasz Urban, was murdered in the cabin of the truck.
The chancellor Ángela Merkel played a leading role in the campaign for the protection of the private life and this year passed a law which prohibits the existence of security cameras in offices, in order to protect the rights of workers.
Well according to the rules in Germany, the security cameras in public places (including square Breitscheidplatz, where the attack occurred) is a rare phenomenon. Only the train stations and public transport are exempt from this rule.

The face of the slasher was revealed only when επικηρύχθηκε
It is characteristic that in June, the local minister of the Interior in Berlin tried to change the law, with the aim to placed security cameras in areas where the crime rate is increased (as in the bustling Alexanderplatz), however the proposal was rejected by local politicians.
The police complains that the work is hampered by the non-existence of security cameras and crying out for more cameras in public places, in the wake of the attack on the christmas market of Berlin.
“We need better and more intelligent supervision of the public spaces -and the tragedy of Monday’s shows us the why,” said a spokesman for the German police. “We’d know a lot more things for the shooter if we had listened to and had been security cameras in the Breitscheidplatz. Of course, we would not be able to prevent the attack, but our investigations would be much more advanced now. The security cameras can save lives”.
There are cameras in Germany, but in many areas it is prohibited to record live image. Only five of the sixteen federal states allow this. The protection of privacy in Germany took a spectacular turn yesterday, when the Tunisian Anis Amri, 24 years old, was considered the No. 1 suspect for the attack and began the manhunt for his arrest.
And although the police asked anxiously the help of the citizens, the German MEDIA had only the first name and the initial of their surname, while all the photos were covered in his eyes.
