Police take action: Tuning meeting in Metelen causes excitement!

At the weekend, the tuning scene came together in the Peddenfeld industrial area and created a colorful spectacle: over 700 people and around 400 vehicles gathered to celebrate their love for converted cars. However, this gathering did not go unnoticed, so the police became active and intervened due to the large crowd. WN.de reported that in addition to the detection of vehicles, some checks were also carried out regarding applicable regulations.

Anyone who is active in the tuning world knows that fun sometimes happens on thin legal ice. Extensive checks recently took place at the Tuning World Bodensee, which took place at the exhibition center in Friedrichshafen. More than 700 vehicles were checked by the police. 285 violations of applicable regulations were identified, some due to unauthorized modifications. Over 50 violations related to other technical changes, which often had a negative impact on the noise behavior of the vehicles. How Schwäbische.de reported that 51 cars had to be confiscated due to massive violations.

Police checks: Strict measures and education

On site, 63 drivers were also banned from continuing their journey because their vehicles no longer met legal requirements. In some cases, however, the complaints could be remedied right away, which enabled the participants to continue driving in their cars. The police's focus remains pragmatic: people expressed positive opinions about the tuning hobby as long as the legal framework is adhered to. This shows how important it is that the tuning community sticks to the rules in order to protect the hobby's image.

But it wasn't just technical defects that caused a stir at the Tuning World Bodensee. Customs also discovered some violations of trademark law and customs regulations. A stand operator was faced with a security deposit of 2,000 euros because he had 46 items with an illegally used logo in his range. Another supplier from Switzerland offered clothing without duty, which led to a tax evasion investigation. It remains to be hoped that such incidents do not overshadow the positive aspects of tuning.
