The strange case of the unlawful policeman

The article addresses an uncommon case involving a police officer in an irregular situation in Germany. Luís Neves would be, according to the logic of a rule-of-law state, someone who should be in prison.

The fact that he is not detained makes this case particularly unusual. Other police officers were called to intervene and placed handcuffs on Luís Neves.

The situation raises questions about how German authorities are handling this specific case, in a country known for strict compliance with the law.
