Security vest and a concert: Justice in the twilight in Munich!

On August 24, 2024, an incident occurred at the celebrated nobility concert in Munich, which raises revealing questions for both the security forces and the judiciary. A couple who wanted to get into the concert without valid tickets took up an innovative, if not permitted, solution: they slipped into a security vest and strapped a corresponding entry volume. According to the Regensburg city newspaper, the 22-year-old security employee had neglected his vest during a break and hung over a fence, which made it possible for the Swiss couple to enter the concert and use services worth 356 euros.

whether the security employee intentionally helped the couple could not be made in need of clarification in the court trial. In a surprising step, the accused offered to do 80 social hours to end the dispute in court. This plea was accepted by the public prosecutor, which means that he was only held responsible for a supervisory judgment. It is noteworthy that the resulting damage of 356 euros was perceived as exaggerated in relation to the social hours worked.

Questions about security at major events

In the context of this incident, the question arises as to how well security concepts really work at major events such as this. In Bavaria there are clear legal regulations that should guarantee the security measures at such events. For example, a cross -departmental working group has developed an orientation framework that supports first -class planning and follow -up measures and focuses in particular on outdoor events with increased risk potential. This information comes from the website of the Interior Ministry of North Rhine-Westphalia.

The orientation framework stipulates that municipalities name central contacts who can be consulted with questions or security concerns. In addition, coordination bodies are of crucial importance: all relevant authorities can thus work together efficiently and implement security concepts in a targeted manner. A well -structured security concept that provides for structural, technical and organizational measures must also be submitted to the municipality in order to be able to meet possible dangers at an early stage.

judiciary in the field of vision

According to reports, concerns have arisen in public whether the judiciary acts correctly in this case. Critics indicate that the judgment against the security employee in a mismatch is on other cases in which migrants often receive no or only low penalties. This apparent misalignment of the judiciary is perceived by various politicians and citizens as injustice that could initiate a broader discussion about equality before the law. The regulation and review of security concepts could take a better balance here.

can be drawn from this incident as conclusions, the question remains how similar incidents can be avoided at events in the future. The regulations on event security should be constantly checked and adapted to the current circumstances so that the safety of visitors comes first.
