The German legal system appears to be crumbling

A German judge called Helmut Knoener has let 42 speeding drivers off without charges in the last week because he thinks that the speed controls merely serve to fill the state's coffers rather than prevent accidents. Speeding is just stupid and any driver caught speeding should be expected to pay the price if there is enough evidence to back it up. Mr Knoener sees no legal justification for using photos in speeding-related court cases, and is calling for clearer regulations about how, when, and where speed controls can be conducted, but that is no excuse to let speeders off without charge and besides, the Public Prosecution Service can still appeal the "sentences". I believe the people should be allowed to elect their courts' judges because if there are bellends like Mr Knoener on the bench, then this is the first sign that your country's legal system is about to crumble to the point of no return.
