In Germany, house searches and seizures are now being carried out on judges who make decisions that do not correspond to the narrative.

A judge in Weimar ruled that 2 schools are forbidden to conduct tests, urge children to be more distant than they were before 2020, and enforce a mask requirement.

The German government regularly and loudly criticizes deficiencies in the rule of law in countries it does not trust politically, especially Poland and Hungary. The tenor is that the independence of the judiciary is not guaranteed there, and that critical judges come under pressure. All the more astonishing is a message, which comes now from Weimar. On Monday morning there is a large-scale investigative action against Christian Dettmar, the judge in Weimar, who made a widely respected decision against the Corona measures and in a specific case declared the obligation to wear masks and rapid tests in schools illegal. According to his attorney, investigators searched the judge's office as well as his car and home. He is being investigated on initial suspicion of perverting the course of justice. There is an initial suspicion that the judge was guilty of bending the law, as a spokesman for the public prosecutor's office in Erfurt announced on Monday. His cell phone was confiscated. Critics see this as an "arbitrary act," an "attack on the independence of the judiciary" and an attempt to intimidate and frighten other critical judges. The public prosecutor's office, meanwhile, sees "indications that the defendant arbitrarily assumed jurisdiction, although the matter was one of administrative law, for which only administrative legal recourse is available." The major media are reporting on the investigation, but not on the search and seizure action.

I still know too little for an accurate assessment, so I must ask for your patience, I hope to get more details out. What is known so far sounds disturbing. Judge Dettmar had ruled that mandatory mask-wearing, minimum spacing, and rapid testing in schools posed a risk to the mental, physical, or emotional well-being of the child. And so serious, in fact, that significant harm to children can almost certainly be foreseen without intervention. In his decision, the judge stated, "Such endangerment is present here. For the children are not only endangered in their mental, physical and psychological well-being, but moreover already presently harmed, in particular by the obligation to wear face masks during school hours and to maintain distances from one another and from other persons. At the same time, this violates numerous rights of the children and their parents under the law, the constitution and international conventions. This applies in particular to the right to free development of the personality and to physical integrity from Article 2 of the Basic Law as well as to the right from Article 6 of the Basic Law to upbringing and care by the parents (also with regard to measures for health care and 'objects' to be carried by children)." The entire decision (Weimar District Court, decision of 08.04.2021, Ref.: 9 F 148/21) comprises 178 pages and is a general reckoning with the Corona regulations at schools.

While even the "Neue Südtiroler Tageszeitung" from Italy was quick to report on the ruling, according to Google, nothing initially appeared on the major public broadcasters, for example. Later, the major media followed suit. They are now following suit, probably out of necessity. In some cases, the headlines were already scolding the judges and framing the issue in terms of the government. For example, Focus Online: Dubious Expert Opinion as a Basis - Questionable Judgment: Weimar District Court Prohibits Mandatory Masking and Tests at Schools. This silence or this judge scolding is extremely remarkable for a democratic media landscape. Also with T-Online stood already in the heading: "Questionable expert selection". The text went on to say: "Corona-harmonizers see this as a milestone, but in practice nothing is likely to change despite the seemingly spectacular decision." The "Berliner Zeitung" reported neutrally and in a manner befitting journalists. It is one of the few major media that, like the Nordkurier from Neubrandenburg, has repeatedly attracted attention with its factual and critical reports on the Corona crisis.
