Shock in the neighborhood: cat shot – witnesses wanted!
What's going on in Cologne's holiday mood? Worrying incidents are increasing in the region and there is a lot to worry about, as the latest news shows. A cat was shot in Külsheim, which is already raising eyebrows. According to Main-Echo, a veterinarian found that the four-legged friend had a projectile that probably came from an air rifle or shotgun. Witnesses to the incident are asked to report any information to the Tauberbischofsheim police station on 09341 810. It remains to be seen whether the investigation can lead to a perpetrator.
Speaking of investigations: In Assamstadt, too, a driver with a blood alcohol content of over 1.6 caused a stir when he caused a motorcycle accident on Sunday morning. The 45-year-old overlooked a 57-year-old motorcyclist while turning, which resulted in minor injuries to the motorcyclist. The driver now not only has to expect a blood test, but also the loss of his driving license. The damage to both vehicles amounts to around 3,000 euros.
Drunk driving and its consequences
Excessive alcohol consumption while driving was not only an issue in Assamstadt. In Wertheim, a 38-year-old was caught driving a Porsche at a gas station with over two per mille of alcohol. Since he no longer had a driver's license, the matter will probably be quite expensive for him, even if the blood sample was taken in the hospital.
The problem of drinking and driving is also evident when it comes to hunting licenses. Anyone who wants to acquire their license must prove that they are reliable under firearms law. An incident like the one on November 19, 2020, in which a hunter caused an accident with a blood alcohol level of 1.69, is causing many hunting licenses to waver. This case resulted in the plaintiff losing his gun ownership card and hunting license. As can be seen from RA Kotz, the plaintiff's lawsuit for the reinstatement of the three-year hunting license was dismissed.
A final conviction due to his drunkenness often leads to a temporary invalidity of the hunting license. This also shows that in many cases alcohol-related offenses are a serious matter that can not only limit individual freedoms but also endanger the safety of others.
Important information for citizens
The incidents in the region are a reminder that drinking and driving, especially when accompanied by weapons, can have serious consequences. According to Fine Money Catalog, a blood alcohol level above 1.09 can call into question the reliability of the firearms law and lead to the revocation of the hunting license. Every applicant should therefore be aware that their past can determine their future today.
The police and the authorities call for vigilance: Any indication of suspicious incidents, be it the use of firearms or in traffic, can help clarify cases and provide valuable prevention.
