It was probably one of those situations where the kidnappers had diplomatic immunity and the host country had no other option but to declare them persona non grata.
"We caught your agents doing illegal things in our country so pinky promise you won't do it again and please please please don't be mad at me for catching you doing something wrong oh pretty please"
Any country, my own included, who gets caught doing shit like that deserves to be blasted, deserves ridicule, and most importantly, does not deserve consideration for nicities.
And given this is such a common thing in other countries, I don't know why anyone bothers listening to them when they say "oh it's just a misunderstanding"
No, you're trying to human traffic someone who doesn't want to return to your country, that's kidnapping at the very least, terrorism in my opinion, and should immediately get their immunity (which was always a stupid idea for a great many crimes) revoked and get tossed in max sec.
Theres a lot german citys i would prefer over Frankfurt and Düsseldorf(and also over munich and hamburg especially since munich is the most expensive City in germany)
I like the idea but I'm skeptical. Not sure how it'll work, but any GPS app I use regularly messes up the speed limit, be it due to construction (or sudden lack of) or just 2 roads being too close and me being on the other one.
And when reading signs with cameras, there are some speed limit signs with additional information underneath specifying a time or anything really.
And then finally all the times when the signs are barely readable or even just wrong. I legit can't count how many times I've seen a speed limit sign 10 meters before a series of junctions with an end of speed limit at the end of this ordeal, like that's not how this works, what the hell?
Edit:
Just remembered the extremely silly cases of speedlimits. Once saw a 10km/h limit in a parking house when going up hill to the seconds floor. Just for shits and giggles I tried it, I almost went backwards trying to fight gravity, so glad no-one was there at the time, also just took forever.
Got the ball rolling on this, junior doctor strikes, and planning system reform on day one.
The manifesto was fairly unradical and didn't seek to rock the boat too much, but tbh I'm glad it wasn't just filled with unworkable populist stuff that they probably couldn't achieve (cough, Tory, Green, and Reform, cough).
I have a 2021 SEAT Leon, my dad has a 2016 Volvo V90.
Both of our cars have cameras for lane keeping and reminding us of the speed limit.
Neither works 100%
My car recognize the "end of no overtaking" sign as being a speed limit sign for 90km/h
Then there is an area where it allways detects a change in the speed limit despite there being none, it is from 60 to 50, not a huge deal, but there is nothing stopping it from going from 120 to 30 instantly.
Then there are time when you might need to speed for safety.
I have been in that situation, example:
Me and my dad was driving on the back roads between Uppsala and Stockholm st night, dad was driving, there was an oncomming car when suddenly dad accellerated hard, swerved into the oncomming lane and bsck again.
There had been a moose that decided to cross the road just as two cars passed eachother, we would not have had time to stop, the only thing to do was to speed and swerve.
The moose incident may be an edge case, but the road sign detection issues are not and the EU should wait untill the system is reliable before forcing it out.
... the only alternative left for law enforcement is to issue a European Investigation Order (EIO), but responses for these can take up to 120 days, which isn't ideal when you want to catch a drug dealer who's only in the country for a weekend. "A solution to the situation described above is urgently necessary."...
Off course they target encryption. Look I understand that it is a drag to actually fix the system.. but they should target the 120 day slog of following procedure.
It's really crazy. Many standard, not luxury cars are able to go 200km/h or even faster. There is exactly one place in the world where you are legally allowed to drive that speed: The German Autobahn. But even there you won't be able to do that due to traffic, speed limits etc. in many cases. It's totally crazy that car manufacturers are building cars for those 70% of Autobahns without speed limit.
Weird how the autobahn with its promise of unlimited speed manages to attract the motorized psychos of Europe, to the degree that almost every episode of Top Gear had a segment set in Germany.
