- Location: Jena, Innenstadt
- Time: Thursday afternoon
- Event: Police operation due to aggressive behavior and trespassing
- Measure: Issuance of an order to leave the premises, subsequent detention
Escalation in Retail
According to police reports, the man acted extremely aggressively within the premises of a shop in the Jena Innenstadt. He harassed employees and ignored multiple requests to leave the store. Even when the summoned officers arrived, the troublemaker remained uncooperative. The police issued an official order to leave the premises (Platzverweis), which the man also failed to follow.
Sobering Up in a Cell
Due to his obviously high level of intoxication and persistent refusal to comply, the officers had no choice but to detain the man. He was taken to the station, where he had to sleep off his intoxication in a cell. After his state of mind had significantly calmed down during the evening, the police were finally able to release him.
Background: Domestic Authority and Police Orders to Leave
In principle, shop owners hold what is known as “Hausrecht” (domestic authority). They can ban individuals from the premises if they disrupt operations or harass employees. If a person does not comply with this request, there is a criminal suspicion of “Hausfriedensbruch” (trespassing). In such cases, the police can be called in to enforce domestic authority. A police “Platzverweis” (order to leave) serves to avert immediate danger. If this is persistently ignored, detention is permissible – especially if the person is heavily intoxicated and poses a danger to themselves or uninvolved third parties.
