What could possibly go wrong. A simple S-Bahn train journey from Berlin Hauptbahnhof to Heerstraße and a walk of a few kilometres to Berlin's man-made hill Teufelsberg. This had been on top of my Berlin bucket list for too many years, and so today was the day when it was removed... or so I thought. A crazy lady on the train accused me of being a paedophile and called the police!
Filmed July 2023 | Berlin, Germany.

@Paul_Lucas 10 месяцев назад

Sorry to see this, Scott! Germany has some unusual privacy laws which seem strange to us but which have been informed by, shall we put it diplomatically, a probably justified scepticism of both the state and private individuals holding data or images of private citizens. It is entirely legal to film on a train, although if you capture images of people the individual does technically have the right to decide on the use of that image. This is actually a constitutional right under the Basic Law of Germany, which gives you an idea of the place that private filming has in the German psyche. That woman sounded like a bit of a nutter though, and I haven't had any issues filming in Germany myself - thankfully! Hopefully you'll get Teufelsberg on film some day!

Well, that was certainly unexpected. Whilst the woman on the train might have mental health issues (which potentially impacts all those around her), it's very alarming that an innocent tourist could be taken that swiftly to the police on hearsay and that they would warn you off continuing with your journey. We watched the video yesterday and are still talking about what happened to you today.

@grahamcook9289 10 месяцев назад

The police are obliged to investigate any complaint. What if he had been a paedo? As it happens, they detained him whilst they investigated, found he was innocent and t released him. Advising him to leave the area was probably for his own good as it avoided any further incident with the woman who reported him to the Police.

@grahamcook9289 10 месяцев назад

I think the moral of the story is not to video in public where your intention could be misunderstood, especially with regard to children and young women. His aim was to video at Teufelsberg, so videoing on public transport was not necessary. The Police have a difficult job and clearly want to prevent a breach of the peace. They may well not have had enough reason to detain the woman, but at the same could not be sure what she might incite in any further encounter with the man she falsely accused. Never under estimate the mob vigilante mentality. @px712uf-public

The police obviously have to take these claims seriously, but I am glad they saw you for the travel enthusiast you are! I've never been to Germany but since starting to learn German I've absorbed a fair bit about the culture - German folk definitely seem to be more private/suspicious when it comes to cameras/filming, and life in general actually! I can't help but wonder if that's partly due to either them or family members having lived or heard of living under at least one totalitarian regime, but maybe other cultural factors too?

After I told them that, they disappeared pretty quickly into a local supermarket.

This happened twice to me last year when I was touring Germany. First in Düsseldorf when I saw a very old tram. I videoed it outside the main station and a woman with kids inside the tram called the police. I was taken to a nearby station and they wanted to see the footage. Although it was innocent they demanded I delete the video, under German privacy law this can happen. A week later on the island of Rugen we rented bikes and I photographed my friend on a promenade cycling towards me. A German father with kids got angry thinking I was taking pics of his kids and we tried to cycle off. The father pulled me violently off my bike and held me in a headlock while his wife called the police who took more than a hour to come. When they did all they wanted to do is see the photos on my camera - none had the man and his family in as I had zoomed into my friend to avoid other people in the shots. Nobody apologised and the police even said the father had the right to hold me as he perceived his family to be in danger! These episode really annoyed me and made me think Germans are all insanely paranoid.

I lived in DE for almost 20 years. Busybodies exist everywhere. These people make up for what is missing in their life by trying to spread the chaos. Don’t let it stop you in Germany, it is a country full of wonderful and welcoming people. Idiots exist everywhere.

There are really "Karen" (called such person in US with unexplainable behavior) who will ruin your walk, endeavor, or project. Good you were not held long. Take care!

Scott says it's his favourite city in Europe but I think it's pretty horrible.

Berlin is amazing, I’ve lived here for 15 years and have never had any problems. He also said the policemen were friendly and just doing their job. Of course this whole thing is very unfortunate but that doesn’t mean Berlin is not great.

When i went to Berlin, everyone were friendly and filmed many things without incident.

People should be seriously reprimanded when falsely accusing people of such crimes in such a public way, in some country’s people tend to take things into their own hands and this could have easily spiralled out of control.

Did they rope the old lady in for wasting police time, and slander?

@BrianJones761-wc4hu 10 месяцев назад

They were not polite and professional. That was downright outrageous treating you like that if they could see there was no basis in any allegations.

@adema1978 10 месяцев назад

Ehhhm, that is a way to intimidate indeed. That old trick they used on my parents back in the 1980's in lovely East Berlin.

Anyone can say any bullshit about a member of the public and you’re straight in the van what a joke.

Hey, once I was in Groningen, NL, where I had my Erasmus for many months. What happended is that once I was making pictures of the interior of EHGG and policemen came to me and I had to explain myself on why I was making pictures and what was I doing there. I had to show my 2nd Twitter account to prove them that I am doing nothing wrong and that I make pictures of aircraft...

Remember Germany was the country where Google Street View was banned for years because 1 insignificant village complained about their privacy and the rest of Germany jumped on the bandwagon.

For all the headache you should have asked the police to take you to Teufelsberg

About being eaten alive by mosquitos : apparently it depends on your blood group type. Mosquitos don't like some types and the people with that type will be left alone. Though if you are the "delicacy" blood type the whole mosquito family will be invited for dinner. I have bad blood, lucky me.

I’ve visited Berlin about 20 times in last 10 years and have never experienced any problems like this. Always for football related trips but also plenty of sightseeing and taking pictures. Guess you were just unlucky with that woman being on the train. Ps, I’ve never even heard of Teufelsberg, will need to pay a visit now!

My German Mother, on a school trip in from Hannover to Berlin in the 1950s, made a throwaway comment to one of her school friends about a statue in an East Berlin park. She said something along the lines of :”Look! They can waste money for statues to Communism but don’t have enough money to feed their own people.” A few minutes later she found herself under arrest by the Stasi. The statue had a microphone hidden inside it! 😂😂😂

Did this happen to you, on Friday 13th??. Sorry for your bad experience in Berlin. I'm very surprised the German police followed a guy with a camera, in 2023, just because of a crazy woman complaining. You have a GREAT RU-vid channel!.
