German Laws vs. USA Laws - EP 126

Americans in Germany Drinking Whiskey

In what can be vaguely considered as a sequel to our "Weird Laws" episode, this week we are once again taking a look at German laws you probably didn't know existed. This time, however, these mainly will be those which could actually affect you in your day-to-day life in Germany. In the spirit of a good ol' reaction episode, we'll talk about things that are illegal in German, but legal in the USA, (plus, vice versa) and give our opinions on whether we agree with the German justice system or not. We'll cover interesting facts such as: German prisoners are "allowed" to escape, insulting someone can result in a hefty fine or jail sentence, how unbelievably hard it is to change your name, and much more!
