Meh, she changed her mind and alerted the police on her own. She should probably get some punishment, but I can see her why they acquitted her in this case.

Her punishment is going through the justice system.

Na, first some incarceration under undignifying conditions.

Stupid Reichsbürger. Dumb as bricks.
Reich Citizens believe that the modern German republic illegitimately replaced the German Reich that was founded in 1871 and continued under the Nazi regime until 1945. They reject the legitimacy of Germany's modern federal state and its laws.
They have a form they print off the internet which, when signed, absolves them of following German law. Or so they believe. They have a King, for fucksake.

That sounds like the "American Sovereign Citizen". Maybe if they just believe really really hard...

I read a more in-depth analysis some time ago and a lot of them are just desperate people with financial or other problems, and becoming a Reichsbürger is more like a form of escapism from reality than something they really believe in. Imagine you have a crippling amount of debt and/or are about to be evicted for example, and then you read on some nutjob website that the state actually doesn't exist so you don't owe them anything and they have no authority to evict you, doesn't that sound great? All your problems solved by just burning your German ID card and printing out a new one of some made-up country. Of course reality gets them eventually but psychologically it's easier to bear for some people to believe that they're the victim of a huge conspiracy rather than face the fact that they fucked up and are screwed.

They have a King
They are a heterogenous scene and therefore not uniformly organised (something to be thankful for). There's more than one King (I haven't read about a selfproclaimed queen though), different "Governments", self-governing bodies... some of them cooperate, some can't cooperate... As long as you don't have to deal with them it sounds quite funny - They produce their own ID cards and driving licences because they do not believe in the existence of the Federal Republic of Germany. But if it exists it's only a Ltd. Or Germany is still under military occupation. But if you encounter them irl... oh boy. And funny left as soon as some of them got their hands on weapons and actually started attacking people.

Oh that's ok then. Diverse! 🤪

That exists elsewhere too! At least here in the UK.

This seems like a good context to plug Munecat's excellent comparative video about Sovereign Citizen movements in various countries: https://youtube.com/watch?v=KcxZFmKrxR8
