Hambach Forest declared “dangerzone” by cops

Hambach Forest and the surrounding area has been declared a dangerzone by the police Aachen, apparently because of crimes and “massive attacks” on police officers.
This allows them to conduct ID control on anyone as well as search all people and vehicles.

People caught without ID on them have mostly been sent to the police station to find or confirm their identity.
