Day of Reckoning – Sham Court Hearing at the District CourtOn Monday, 31 March 2025, it was the day of reckoning with the court hearing over my disgraceful offense – the alleged speeding violation.  As previously reported, I had filed two motions for bias against the judge who, during the first court session, refused to state his name due to what I considered obvious partiality and flawed procedural conduct. I also filed a criminal complaint for perversion of justice. That same judge presided over the hearing again on 31 March 2025 and, surprise surprise, once again did not state his name. He wanted to know my name and some data. I asked for his name, and he replied that I surely was able to read and could see it on the display board outside the courtroom. After insisting—because in a constitutional state one should know which judge one is facing—he finally told me that his last name was Berg. A nice man, right? Kids, study law!The judge had again summoned only one police officer for questioning. I wanted to know why, as I had requested that the other officer and their superior be summoned as well. Judge Berg said he did not consider it necessary. I asked for a justification. Judge Berg repeated that he did not find it necessary. That may be his opinion, but it's not a justification. I repeated my request for the other two officers to be summoned. Judge Berg stated that I would need to submit a motion to present evidence to get the other two officers summoned. I asked if you had to study law in order to defend yourself in court. I received no meaningful response.New EvidenceI had taken some photos at the scene. In my view, the 30 km/h speed limit no longer applied where the police officers measured the speed. That limit had been lifted at two previous intersections. The location in question is Webau near Hohenmölsen. The speed was measured just before the town exit toward Granschütz/Weißenfels. The fact that the 30 km/h zone had ended is evident from Mittelstraße. Entering it, you’re notified that you're entering a 30 km/h zone. When exiting it, signs indicate the zone ends. No further signs mandate maintaining 30 km/h on Hohenmölser Straße. It’s similar with Schulstraße—exiting it, there’s no indication of a continued 30 km/h limit. Signage must be clear and leave no room for interpretation, as ambiguity can lead to arbitrariness and unequal treatment.Judge not impartialI stated that it was now up to the authority that issued the fine to provide counterarguments—but they weren’t present. The judge replied, more or less, that this wasn’t common in fine proceedings. But then the problem arises that the judge must adopt the arguments of the fining authority and is therefore no longer impartial. Judge Berg didn’t seem bothered by that.The Angry Police OfficerThe police officer was called in for questioning. He described how they pulled over drivers at that location. His colleague would jump into the street to stop offenders and also halt oncoming traffic, as the offending drivers were directed to pull into the property across the road to continue proceedings. As previously reported, I consider this coercion of oncoming traffic and a dangerous interference with traffic—both are criminal offenses under the penal code. The officer confirmed that these offenses occurred.Coincidentally, on the day I took the photos, the police were again conducting speed checks at that same spot. This time not with a laser gun, but with a mobile speed camera. I take that to mean they realized it’s not good when police officers commit crimes to collect fines. I also criticized that the measurement protocol stated the result had been shown to the offender. That wasn’t the case for me. The protocol thus contains false information. This slightly angered the officer, and he claimed the result had been told to me. I’ve had some experience dealing with authorities and courts. Every little detail can matter when it comes to nitpicking. “Shown” is clearly different from “told.” It was also established that the same protocol was used for everyone accused of speeding that day. There was no specific protocol for the measurement involving me—no written proof. Just the statements from officers, who didn’t seem to realize their actions were criminal. When I brought up the Mittelstraße and the lifted speed limit, the officer again responded angrily, saying he couldn't know whether I came from that street. That gives the impression he distinguishes between those who came from Mittelstraße and could drive 50 km/h and others who supposedly had to drive 30—at the same spot. He also spoke to me in a harsh tone, saying I was simply speeding. I couldn't help but ask why he was attacking me like that. The End of the Sham Court HearingThe officer was allowed to leave the courtroom. The judge asked if I had anything else to say. I again referenced all these various points. I had barely finished when Judge Berg asked me to rise so he could pronounce the verdict. He had a piece of paper in his hand and read the verdict aloud. Yes, you read that right—he read it. He had not left the room to write it down. He had it ready in written form. That means the verdict was predetermined. It was a sham trial. Unsurprisingly, I was found guilty.After the verdict was read, I asked the judge whether he had indeed read it out loud. He didn’t answer. He said the hearing was over and he didn’t need to answer me. Then he left the room. Someone quickly slid me a sheet of paper listing the legal remedies I could pursue. Only an appeal on points of law was possible—but this has to be permitted by a judge. The conditions for such permission are so vaguely defined that it’s almost certainly hopeless with judges like those at the District Court of Weißenfels. Just before I left the courtroom, I asked the clerk whether this was how things usually go. She remained silent and left too. Arbitrariness Happens in the DarkSure, many of the usual suspects will now claim I was simply speeding, etc. But even this case shows the constant double standards. Criminal offenses—allegedly committed by the police and the judge—are of no importance. Brushed aside! But when it's about putting the citizen, the sovereign, in their place, the state is relentless.That’s exactly the kind of thing that continues to bother me in this "best Germany we’ve ever had." That’s why I pursue such cases—to shine a light on exactly this. This country, called a democracy, shows in situations like these that the laws are not made for the citizens, the sovereign, as in a true democracy—but repeatedly against them. It seems the citizen is meant to be kept in check. Nothing will change or improve if this kind of conduct isn’t exposed and if individuals don’t take a stand. Does It Take Courage?Not really. Anyone can file a motion for bias or press charges—even against a judge—if they feel it's justified. What happens afterward is up to the prosecution or another judge. So far, they usually turn a blind eye or consistently act as if blind when it's about members of their own profession. But if such motions and charges become more frequent, other judges and prosecutors will no longer be able to ignore them—unless they want to be guilty of obstructing justice themselves.From a legal standpoint, nothing can happen to the person filing the report, as long as they rely on facts. So no, it doesn't take courage. What it does take, at least initially, is the mindset that you are the sovereign, and that judges, public servants, or prosecutors are not your guardians or parental figures. Yes, judges can issue rulings and decisions, and authorities can issue notices. But that’s it. And those affected still (for now) have the right to appeal. That should always be exercised—and one should not shy away from going to court if procedural flaws or other issues are evident. Sure, that may not make you popular with judges like Berg, and you might lose. But with such a judge, you'd likely lose anyway. A judge is supposed to assess a case without personal bias and based solely on law and justice—otherwise, they fail in their role. If proceedings like mine are made public in the same way, it’s entirely possible that the judiciary could move in a better direction in the future. We just have to want it—and act. One Last SentenceA final sentence to those who cheer the judge’s actions and rulings simply because they went against me: It’s not impossible that one day you might end up before this or a similarly minded judge. Perhaps for being a few extra kilometers per hour over the limit—and you’re facing a license suspension, even though you didn’t consciously speed, and it really wasn’t that fast...You, too, will then not receive a legally sound court hearing—and your exculpatory evidence will not count either.
