Ulm is suffering from car posers: Police are preparing for the forbidden meeting!

In Ulm, a car poser and car tuning meeting banned by the city is causing a stir. On Saturday evening, calls for this meeting circulated on social media, which was promoted through sometimes spectacular advertising videos on Instagram and images of masked people. The city has already reacted and issued a general order that is valid until Monday morning. This stipulates that gatherings of more than five vehicles that are assigned to the autoposer scene are prohibited. If someone violates this regulation, they face penalties of up to 500 euros. Participants' cars can also be towed or confiscated if they disobey police instructions. The city fears a deliberate disruption of public order and security in the city area, which has prompted the police to deploy a large number to carry out checks.

There have been major operations against the autoposer scene in Ulm in the past. On Wednesday the police checked hundreds of car posers, and in June the police were also out and about with a large contingent. At that time, several hundred supporters of the scene were gathered in a parking lot, with around 60 vehicles inspected and five decommissioned due to significant defects. These controls are being intensified not only in Ulm, but also throughout the entire region. Loud meinka.de The police in Baden-Württemberg recently checked around 1,260 vehicles in the car poser and tuning scene. On Good Friday, 361 violations were identified, particularly in the areas of posing and illegal tuning. The number of inspections also remained almost the same compared to the previous year, with 79 vehicles taken off the road.

Danger from illegal behavior

The police have focused on illegal conversions, noise pollution from high-revving engines and racing. Interior Minister Thomas Strobl (CDU) was critical of the behavior of car posers, who are often predominantly young men with powerful cars. On “Car Friday”, a term used by owners of tuned cars, over 360 police officers were involved in the checks. Three illegal car races were also stopped during these operations.

The city of Ulm remains vigilant and strives to ensure safety in public spaces. It remains to be seen whether the activists of the autoposer scene will actually gather on the announced Saturday evening and how the police will react. Routine checks have now become an integral part of the police's field of activity, which will also keep a close eye on potential violations this weekend. The city has already made it clear that it has no tolerance for illegal gatherings and is ready to take measures to maintain public order.
