Illegal tuning meeting ended: police draw harsh consequences!

Illegal tuning meeting ended: police draw harsh consequences!

On the night of Friday to Saturday, an illegal tuning meeting took place in the Billa Plus parking lot at Neunkirchner Spitz. The event attracted numerous “car posers” who wanted to see what the scene had to offer with their modified vehicles. However, the police quickly got fed up and were informed immediately. Thanks to the rapid response of the emergency services, the meeting was ended quickly and several reports were filed. Some participants were asked to present their vehicles for technical inspection at the country's responsible testing institute. Fortunately, there were no major incidents, as Krone reports.

Such tuning meetings are not an isolated case. In other regions too, such as Upper Bavaria, the so-called “car enthusiasts” regularly look for opportunities to get together and liven up the streets with their loud machines. Last Saturday, a large tuning meeting in Rosenheim led to a significant police operation. Up to 3,000 people were on their feet in the Traunstein and Rosenheim districts and followed a call on social networks that was directed against the “police harassment of the last few weeks”. The mood on site became increasingly tense as police eventually issued eviction notices and asked the crowd to leave the area. As BR reported, several vehicles had to be confiscated due to significant technical defects.

unrest and conflict

As can be seen from operations on site, the police and emergency services were well prepared, as such meetings have often caused problems in the past. Participants at tuning meetings in Styria often perform driving maneuvers such as burnouts and drifts, which angers local residents. In this regard, the security forces did not remain idle and carried out extensive checks. At a recent meeting near Graz, for example, 155 alcohol tests were carried out and 73 reports of technical defects and rule violations were filed. These measures, documented on sicherheit-Zeitung, make it clear how seriously the situation is taken by the security authorities.

Authorities face a constant challenge to control these events while ensuring the safety of local residents. With the popularity of the tuning scene, the pressure on the police to act both preventatively and reactively is growing. The increasing number of such meetings shows that the fascination for individually designed vehicles is deeply rooted and will certainly continue to be a topic of conversation in the region.
