Yes, and the investigation will lead to nothing. As it seems he didn’t so anything wrong. Non the less a possible unlawful action needs to be investigated.

I assume anything reported is “investigated”. If there is more to the story they should tell us. But an investigation can mean anything from making 1 call to collecting data over months and then prosecuting.

Why don’t they go to court and push it to supreme court? This is a perfect example for misusing a law leading to the exact opposite effect it was meant to protect from.
There has to be some organization for human rights or some ambitious lawyer who sees the need for change? Or isn’t there any culture for this in Germany? Times change and laws must change with them.

What an idiotic article. They literally contradict themselves.
>In Europe, it’s not just making fun of a president’s wife or making edgy jokes on social media that can lead to fines and jail time, **but criticizing authoritarian leaders, too**.
Then
>It was not the quote that put Zitelmann in trouble with the law, but Hitler’s swastika armband.
Under Section 86a of the German criminal code, it is illegal to distribute Nazi symbols and related expressions.
If that is German law, then German police is obligated to make an investigation, which will probably be closed as fast as it was opened. The man didn’t get arrested, didn’t get dragged in court, he was just sent a letter by the police, and he victimizes himself as if his life was ruined.
And regarding the site itself, Reason.com is an American libertarian magazine, so it’s obvious why they’re so desperate to portray the European countries and the EU as some sort of totalitarian police states, just because people can’t mindlessly run their mouths like they do in the USA.
It’s such a stupid little tactic to try to point the finger at the EU for minor stuff like this, to distract from the fact that in their country, their own population is being terrorized by a state sponsored paramilitary force and is constantly spied on by big tech.
