I want to add some things for the German side: - There are no rules regarding clothing in your car. You are allowed to drive your car completely naked, as long, as you don't harass anyone. - There are also no rules regarding footwear. However, if you have an accident, the court might rule at least a partial blame due to your footwear. - Filming Police in Germany is licit and even encouraged by lawyers, as long, as you tell the Officer(s), you are filming and you don't hinder them doing their work.
Also, there is no law against nudity in public. You can totally walk around without a shirt in a city and where I live a lot of men do it during the summer months.
Actually there is a law now ( I'm making my license now ) that you have to wear stable foot wear. So no Flipflops or Sandals in the car anymore. In Berlin there was a guy naked on his motorbike and then it was on TV when talked about the hot weather as a joke to please wear something on your motorcycle. Don't be the naked overweight guy XD XD Oh yes naked on the Autobahn XD The ultimate freedom.
@@TheMissileHappy Agreed. But without shirt you will be recognized by others and get a bad face to show you that it is unwanted in most cases. A muscle shirt would be okay.
This was a fun shooting as always. 😊 I definitely learned a lot from my filming mates about their countries. I hope you've enjoyed the video and are having a great day. 🥰
Q: Do Germans do the finger pointing at your head as a way of joking or as insulting ? For instance, you can say “are you crazy” as a joke without offending the person.
Daniëlle I’m German and I would say if ur very close to someone for example ur friend that they would take it as a joke but to like family members or just not like ur friends people think it’s very insulting:)
Ellena where you do these videos in which conutry? and stilll do you live in korea? And how you travall everytime buy a conutry to Another country to do videos
I want to add something about the pictures and videos that you can not take in Spain. That is a law but if you see a police officer doing something wrong you have the right to ask for his ID number (all the police in Spain has an special ID Number) and they must give it to you so you can put a complaint in the police station or even in the court in these cases you can have a picture or a video of the "crime". This law was made because sometimes the police is doing a job in secret but unconsciously you can be revealing them. Sorry for my English!
You have the right to ask, but the most probable outcome is you getting in trouble. The theory of the law and the practice are very different. Anti-riot police never wears their supposedly mandatory IDs, and the cameras they wear upon are always on when they caught somebody attacking them, but "malfunction" every time they beat the crap out of some poor soul.
Thats stupid, they do that to cover the police bad praxis. U can believe the excuses but its obviously to give them more power over the population, and they never ever will give u they ID if they know they are doing something bad or illegal Que estupidez xD, lo hacen para darle mas poder a la policia, lo de la privacidad es una gilipollez y nunca te van a dar el numero de placa si saben que estan haciendo algo mal o ilegal.
Hi I only want to say that there are some points that the Spanish girl didn't say, like you can't drive with sandals but also you can't drive with heels, flip flops or other types of shoes that are open if police saw you, you will have to pay. Another point is that it is true that you should have to pay if you are in the street without t-shirt, you could open it but not take it off. Hi from Spain, Saludos desde España.
@@jackwanraheem4089 in Barcelona, the fine goes from 120 to 300 euros (140 to 350$) if you don't wear a shirt. (They usually just give you a warning, but they might fine you right away, especially if you don't comply when they ask you to put one on) The fine for being naked from the waist down, is even higher, from 300 to 500 euros(350 to 590$) This law does not apply in some spaces, the beach is one example, you can be completly nude there or in the streets directly adjacent to the beach.
@@jordi95 I've seen in a video about Spain that said people can be naked in the street. It's legal. So, that was just a false information. BTW, was Spain naturism friendly in past?
Yes, but about the shirt thing, there is a non-mentioned aspect in the video. I went on summer to Huelva several years, and next to the beach, it was so natural to be with the shirt off. I remember going back home like that by walk (it was near) and see more people in the same way (near, but not next to the beach). But it's true that, in other places, they could stop you if you want to get into a supermarket or something without shirt, even if it's near bath zones (it happened to me in Canary Islands). What I mean is that it's not applied to the 100% of cases.
In Spain if you see a cop doing something wrong, like something really bad you can film them and go to the police to show them the video. Like I would not recommend taking random pictures of the police, but if you see them doing something bad you can ask them for their ID number and take it to a police station.
@@UHF43 Y date cuenta de que no le hacen caso. :p Aún tuvieron suerte de que los policías no estuvieron listos a requisar los móviles y borrar los vídeos, porque en un juicio la palabra de un policía vale más que la tuya.
It used to be forbidden because terrorists would use it to identify their targets. IDK if the law has changed. In any case the application of that law is more relaxed now.
that's such a cultural shock for us Spaniards, you wouldn't be allowed into a shop without a t-shirt or shoes (well walking barefoot people would just assume that you're mental, shirtless is just seen as disrespectful and many places ban it specifically)
Interesting, about the first one, I'm Briitsh too, and I remember my dad teaching me that it is respectful protocol when cheering a glass that you look at the person opposite in the eyes as a form of etiquette.
You can definitely take pictures and record police in Spain, the thing you CAN NOT do, is upload said images online without removing their identities. You have to blur their faces and identification badges. Other than that, you are okay (but you'll be warned that you cannot upload said images or recordings if you are taking them while you are interacting with them, and if you get cocky you will make it worse). And the whole thing I said previously I'm pretty sure it only applies when they are executing their duties, if they are randomly patrolling, event, protest, etc you can just record whatever, it doesn't matter (unless you are persistently recording them and only them, then you risk them approaching to inquire wtf are you doing, and since it's an interaction it could be considered that they are executing their duties and thus, you'll not be able to upload or have to blur their identities). To summarize, the statement is fake. You can record them
It was a fun video, but I wanted the conversation to keep going. As you can tell from U.S. videos online, shooting a video of the police is your legal right here, just as long as it doesn't interfere with their job or safety. For hand movements, there are many universal, non-verbal gestures, that everyone understands. It would be interesting to make a video of non-verbal gestures in other countries that are unique and different.
I'm from Italy and I think that here filming the police is legal (as long as you don't disrupt their job or do it without purpuse), because it's the only way to show if the police is not acting as their should. I think it should be legal everywhere for this reason, of course you shouldn't be in the police's way while they're working but if they're being too violent or something you should be able to report them.
As a tourist in Germany, I was perfectly willing to not get in the bike paths, but I could not always tell where they were, since they often were right next to, or essentially the same thing as, the walking path. There were also times when I simply forgot to note where the bike path was, since in my country bicycles are pretty much not allowed to be on sidewalks, particularly at a high rate of speed (they use the streets). So I respect the laws and customs in Germany, but I sometimes found myself in trouble anyway. Apologies to German cyclists, after the fact!
If the sidewalk is split into a bike lane and a pedestrian lane, the bike lane is almost always the one closer to the street. But it happens to a lot of people, that you accidentally walk onto the bike lane - it's not always that obvious^^
-Of course, you can take pics and videos of the police in Spain as long as they are on duty. It is your right actually. IDK where she has got that info from -You are not allowed to drive shirtless just because in case of an accident you may get burns on the seat belt area. As we all are covered by public health care it would be an unnecessary cost for the system. It just could have been prevented easily. (That's the point) -You can take your shirt off if you are working out. In summer, most people go shirtless when they go jogging around the park or play any other sport. It would be weird if you were shirtless in downtown, financial area, industrial area.. (People normally don't work out in those places)
@@camilaxoxo8625 I have lived in spanish touristic areas (on the coast) and it was very common for foreign tourists to walk through the city without a shirt or in bathing suits and even want to enter shops or restaurants this way. Perhaps you live in a non coast place, so you have thought this low was made for Spanish people and that's why you consider unnecessary this law. As you said, it's strange to see Spanish people downtown without T-shirt, but it happened a lot in coast touristic areas. As a result of that, this rule was established. It may sound strange to those of you who have not lived on the coast, but we have seen it very often. Usually, tourist people didn't made the difference between financial/beach areas of the city.
I would say the bike lanes are overall aceptable. It heavily depends on the city, for example in Münster its great, but most other places not so much or some places is more bad or nonexistent.
7:30 when i'm in other countries and want to take photos of the police i politely ask if i'm allowed to. because of the terror attacks in europe i can understand the authorities that there are bans
Im from a lil country of sveille (spain) and here in summer u can see usually teenagers without tshirts old people its more strange but does too. The police just stop then and says that htey have to put it on. (sry for my eng)
I would like to add that the thing about people not being able to take pictures about the police is a half-truth. It's a thing about privacity, for example, some months ago an influencer was drunk, trying to enter a zone that the police was clearing because it was illegal to get concentrated and drink at night due to the pandemic, and when the polices tried to stop him of entering the zone he just insulted them and tried to fight them, so three polices had to reduce him (I don't know if it's said like that xd). Ok, so the thing is that they were filmed (because the id*ot was famous) and there's no problem with that, you just can't publish the video to a social media or at least not without pixelating the faces of the policeman, what the person who recorded the video did, because otherwise the polices wouldn't have privacity while doing their jobs, a thing that, if you are arresting a stup*d influencer, you seriously need though. So, to sum things up: you do can take pictures and videos of them but can't publish them on the internet at least not without pixelating their faces first, you can keep the video if it's for a complaint that you want to show to the justice in privacity. They can take your phone if you just recorded them and start acting like an id*ot saying: oh I will publish this online. That, if I were a police, would be like: dude, everything's fine at home? Sorry for my english tho.
In the US...the police could take a phone but would require a warrant from a judge to unlock the phone and look at things. They wouldn't be allowed to alter the photos or blur faces because once a warrant is issued the phone and everything on it is evidence and any modification would be tampering with evidence...which would violate the rules of evidence and would not be allowed in court. If that were the only piece of evidence of a crime...the state no longer has a case since they can no longer use the phone as evidence.
@@linajurgensen4698 I see people doing it all the time. Ain't nobody giving them weird looks. And if so, these people would be frowned upon cuz it ain't nobody else's business. It's only a matter of time till the last old German will have learned that you don't just fucking stare at people.
@@SoWhat89 Not in Berlin. Riding the bike shirtless, yes, some guys do it in summer. But a shirtless person in a supermarket is definitely not a normal thing, even in a liberal city like this.
@@cwnbn3226 And also I can perfectly imagine that in Berlin it is in certain parts of the city. And if not, that just validates my anti attitude towards thinking in the pattern of nations. I don't like Berlin anyway. A very cold and rude people up there, no wonder
I’m not really sure about this but I think you can record the police in Spain but you can’t post it online because of privacy (so if you do you have to cover their faces). But you definitely can record if you see the police doing something bad or whatever (again not completely sure)
I’m from American and the police thing really shocked me! I never knew that, but I feel that is something that is good to know. Here we can film when we get pulled over or whatever the circumstance for the civilians protection.
In Spain we use the same but with a diferent meaning. It would be like "He is missing a screw (on his head)", meaning that someone does not have a propper setup on his/her head ergo he/she is stupid/talking nonsense
As far as I know, here in Belgium, taking pictures is never forbidden. Publishing them in the media, can be. If you publish a photo or a video of somebody, you cannot publish his name without his consent. You cannot publish a mugshot of him asking to identify the guy. You can however bring the picture to the police for complain, or proof. Having nobodies in the background of the picture of your kids at the beach is OK. If you want to name them on your facebook page, strictly speaking, you need their consent. Taking a picture of the crowd opposite to you at the stadium is OK, because nobody can be identified. If you have some crazy car on your dash-cam, you have to blur the plate of you want to publish it on youtube. But you can bring it as proof to the police if you need. Hidden cameras need to get the consent of their 'victims'. Filming police brutality is OK, publishing them on social media is ok only if individual officers cannot be identified. Bringing the video to the tribunal and identifying the perpetrators is OK, because it is not 'public'.
The tricky thing for foreigners not used to bike lanes, is at crossroads. I had this a lot in the Netherlands. It happens more often when you are with a group and you don't really pay attention. So, you are a crossroad. The light is red for you, so you have to wait. You are in conversation with your friends and, without even paying attention, you walk up to the border of the road, completely forgetting there is a bike lane between the walkway and the road. And sure enough, your group stand still there, in the middle of the bike lane, like disrespectful egocentric foreigners.
In the u.s. it is your right to video cops. Even though the police have body cameras, the body cameras are controlled by the individual wearing them, so to keep cops held accountable, especially in the age of technology and social media, Americans video cops always. And I think some of these people in this video need to learn about their country's civil rights/laws.
I am not definitely sure but in my country there isa traffic rule for, some people wearing white t-shirt with crosswise seatbelt design and trying to cheat the police like buckle up the seatbelt
6:20 That's not true xD You just think they come from the pool or something, it's so common to see shirtless people in Spain during summer. It's just I think she's from Barcelona, right? I think It's illegal there xD
I'm honestly surprised that there are a lot of restrictions on filming the police. I thought it would be the other way around. Here in the US, it's a right to be able to film the police (although sometimes police aren't aware of it). I know this channel is primarily for people learning English, but it's educational for English speakers too!
It is mostly the same in Spain. There are many instances of videos of the police, but they are usually taken without the police knowing or not being able to do anything about it (from a balcony, for example). If you do on their faces, they aren't happy with it. The police never likes to be policed, their hate for the internal affairs service is not just something that Hollywood invented.
In Italy you can take videos of the police if you think they're acting bad, like being violent or something. It's totally legal to take a video in such cases.
Wow... actually here in Brazil, a man who would not feel comfortable to take his shirt off is pretty weird to be honest. So it's common, it's really normal for a man to go topless on the streets if it's cold, which most of the times is.
There was a reason why this was ilegal in Spain. It was the way terrorists used to identify their targets (yes, this was a real problem). I'm not sure if it's still ilegal or not. It may have changed.
In Spain you do can take pictures and videos of them but can't publish them on the Internet at least not without pixelating their faces first, you can keep the video if it's for a complaint that want to show to the justice in privacy.
@@111-q7f Problem with that is you risk having your camera confiscated, and you can’t show the public police officers committing crimes. Can the police record and publish photos of the public? Or is one rule for them and another for ordinary people?
@@BC_26fhj it is definitely aimed to control and warn the population, they're not allowed to confiscate anything btw but they're not supposed to do many things that they still do so...
It always confuses me. In my entire life I never thought about looking others in the eye while "prosting" with my drink. And never has anybody said something about it. So it must be something, not everybody does. Don't worry, nothing will happen except you meet people who grew up with this kind of tradition, they will just make a short joke about it.
Recently in Germany it’s not „never walk on the bike path“, but „never ride your bike on the walkway“, as some bicycle warriors with their fancy e-bikes seem to forget there’s other traffic besides them.
The law that prevented people to film the police in france had such an enormous backlash and demonstrations against it it didn't pass (you really have to be such a crap to try to pass such a unjust law just after the killing of George Floyd in the u.s, and all the wounded victims by the police that happened at that time in france, certainly those politicians, big business, and those criminal in uniform were trying to protect themselfs) but other laws that where connected to this one are still on the gov plans or had pass, such as adding a definition of terrorism wish was totally abstract so they could put peoples in jail or in forced residence (you can't leave home and have to report to the police station, when there is a demonstration or for a certain period of time (wich can be unlimited)) just for just having differents political point of view, raising their voices, or participating in demonstrations wich is a absolut right for citizens. It was used a lot against green militants and activists, because the agro-industry in france is really powerful and has a lot of connections at the top.
And concerning the shirtless thing, in france you can take a fine but it's fairly new, it's been like maybe 5 - 6 years I feel. Your pretty much never get fined but the police will tell you to put a shirt on. Also it depend where you live and where you are, in the south or in parks you will see a lot more people shirtless.

i went to tiergarten in berlin during summer and bumped into a field of naked man, some completely naked, sunbathing... i believe there's a big naked culture there lmao i'm not from europe btw so i was quite shocked
I didnt knew they had taking pictures and videos of police are illegal. In our country it was almost like this since the biggest spark problem is a police shotted a innocent grandma and her son the police shot them with no care with his daughter, because of the proven video he is in life sentence but sadly he wont have death penalty since that is banned because of religious belief reasons. If people cant be allowed to record them then use own webcam for your police to see if theyre doing the right thing since theres many serious crimes a police didnt get guilty since theres no proof and the biggest example is america's polices
in france officialy violent police dosen't exists, only cityzens are violent (citizens against governement of course) so filming police beating a citizen, mostly during strikes or racial controls, its bad image for the governement ... for that is not allowed
I am from Spain and you can definitively be naked in public. Not just shirtless, but fully naked. In some cities there are laws against that, such as in Barcelona, but there is no national law regarding that. In fact, quite the opposite, according to the constitution.
Like while I was writting this comment, three men jogging together passed below my terrace shirtless. She is completely wrong and she definitively does not know what she is talking about.
Where's Lauren and Marina, I like them 😊. I would like to learn your language, but you are excited to learn about Korea, what's matter guys?just kidding!
What? I'm pretty sure going shirtless in the street is legal (and fine) in Spain. It may vary from city to city, tho, but it's definitely not a "Spain thing".
Don't really understand why it's always a fine when you're taking off your shirt in public. I mean what kind of bad thing can happen or what's a cause?
The one from Spain, in the case of Barcelona, was introduced only 10 years ago, specially because of drunk tourists that don't wear t-shirts and don't behave in public.
@@lauragoreni3020 I agree with you there, i was just stating the facts, tourism has been a VERY BIG problem and discussion in Barcelona for many years now, and this types of law are a reflection of that. In my personal opinion, i don't mind if someone wants to take their shirt off or even all their clothes, as long as they don't misbehave.
The guy from UK never said anything about taking pictures of police why? even though the german girl have said we have the same in germany like the UK have they cut it off?
That rule was like 4 years old and had a lot of controversy, Spain is not catholic, It is agnostic, Christian religion It is not well seeing in Spain in general, things like swear before god when a new presindent is elected would be impossible in Spain for example. The first laws agains slavery were approved in Spain in 1512 for the indios, saying that all were free, The Burgos laws, and more laws were approved for their protection in 1542, all become Spanish citizens, miscegenation was legal and very common in America, you can look on the internet. The police in Spain is very well respected and very kind, not as the US police for example they are very crazy, in Spain you can run from them and they will never shoot you. Conservative in what sense, we were one of the first countries in the world that approved gay marriage, and we introduced trans laws like the ones in Canada.
😂 Claudia, by God, the police aren't like Jesus 😉 But it's true that it's illegal to photograph and film the police in their normal work. If they do something bad, you record or photograph them, because in the police there can also be bad people, they are still human beings. 🙄 Maybe, the law not to record them, it also has to do with the security of their privacy or even the history of terrorism in Spain in which many police officers were targets of terrorists. The t-shirt is also true. There are even public places such as museums, supermarkets and like that where there is a sign on the door indicating that it's forbidden to enter without a t-shirt. In some it even indicates that it's forbidden to enter barefoot. The latter especially happens in the most touristic cities on the coast. The sandals thing is true and I think it also makes sense from what Claudia has commented on the danger of sandals with pedals in risky situations. Really I love this videos 💖 Thank you very much for making these videos, eliminating prejudices and joining us in what we have in common. 💖
Well, she's from Barcelona, so not so much. :D :D But yes, I also think that many of her opinions about what it's normal or not in Spain do not reflect my reality. It only serves me as a reminder that it must be also the case for the other three people.
@@arianam9977 well as you know Spain is made from different cultures. I'm from Barcelona and what she said is 100% accurate. We have to start to accept that Spain is multicultural and every region has its way to live and to think so it's impossible to represent all cultures and present it as "Spain" since there's no an standardized way of doing things
Guess, you overate a bit the level of melanin in skin. Same with color of the eyes, shoe size, the individual respiratory minute volume or the form of ears.
I don't understand why you're promoting the idea of thinking in the cultural concept of nations. Most modern European nation states don't have a culture but are diverse within and you'd rather find cultural similarities across the border in border regions. The franco-german border region poses much more of a cultural entity than looking at Germany and France separately. So the Alsace-Lorraine region is way more similar to Baden Wurttemberg, Rhineland Palatine or Saarland than to southern France. And the bordering parts of Germany mentioned are more similar to Alsace-Lorraine than to the north of Germany. And Claudia, the Catalan, should know best. Her "people" is split between France and Spain. So Catalans, who are French on the paper, speak her native tongue. This whole concept is a joke.
@@CHarlotte-ro4yi Yes, but like, in the video they still say "you can do this in Germany and this in Spain". I mean laws are obviously made by the state and do affect whole nations. But cultural stuff in general is usually super diverse. France for example is partially northern and partially mediterranean. There's no way that north and south there are similar. Mediterranean regions are always different from non-mediterranean regions.
@@feynman6625 but even if Claudia would feel spanish or not she would still have to wear the Spanish Flag since Catalonia isn't independent. So even if she wears the Spanish Flag or not we can't assume her feelings.

I wouldnt say the german girl has an accent, right!
@@Dbutnoneed She has a German accent. Not the thick ze thing which the older generation have. But she definitely has a German accent.
In Spain if you see a cop doing something wrong, like something really bad you can film them and go to the police to show them the video. Like I would not recommend taking random pictures of the police, but if you see them doing something bad you can ask them for their ID number and take it to a police station.
Have you ever tried?

@@UHF43 Y date cuenta de que no le hacen caso. :p Aún tuvieron suerte de que los policías no estuvieron listos a requisar los móviles y borrar los vídeos, porque en un juicio la palabra de un policía vale más que la tuya.
It used to be forbidden because terrorists would use it to identify their targets. IDK if the law has changed. In any case the application of that law is more relaxed now.
Summer in Australia you will see many guys without shirts and no shoes, even in shopping malls.
the same goes for the Netherlands
Strange world
that's such a cultural shock for us Spaniards, you wouldn't be allowed into a shop without a t-shirt or shoes (well walking barefoot people would just assume that you're mental, shirtless is just seen as disrespectful and many places ban it specifically)
No shoes???
Interesting, about the first one, I'm Briitsh too, and I remember my dad teaching me that it is respectful protocol when cheering a glass that you look at the person opposite in the eyes as a form of etiquette.
I really like Elena's energy, she would be an awesome friend!
You can definitely take pictures and record police in Spain, the thing you CAN NOT do, is upload said images online without removing their identities. You have to blur their faces and identification badges. Other than that, you are okay (but you'll be warned that you cannot upload said images or recordings if you are taking them while you are interacting with them, and if you get cocky you will make it worse).
And the whole thing I said previously I'm pretty sure it only applies when they are executing their duties, if they are randomly patrolling, event, protest, etc you can just record whatever, it doesn't matter (unless you are persistently recording them and only them, then you risk them approaching to inquire wtf are you doing, and since it's an interaction it could be considered that they are executing their duties and thus, you'll not be able to upload or have to blur their identities).
To summarize, the statement is fake. You can record them
It was a fun video, but I wanted the conversation to keep going. As you can tell from U.S. videos online, shooting a video of the police is your legal right here, just as long as it doesn't interfere with their job or safety. For hand movements, there are many universal, non-verbal gestures, that everyone understands. It would be interesting to make a video of non-verbal gestures in other countries that are unique and different.
I'm from Italy and I think that here filming the police is legal (as long as you don't disrupt their job or do it without purpuse), because it's the only way to show if the police is not acting as their should. I think it should be legal everywhere for this reason, of course you shouldn't be in the police's way while they're working but if they're being too violent or something you should be able to report them.
I am really Happy that you come again cause i speak all your languages

In Spain you can take pictures or videos of the police, that's fake info.
Same thing in France. In France you can take pictures and videos of police but you're not allowed to share their adress and their name.
And you can walk without tshirt is only forbidden in some cities, I think this girl is from Barcelona or north city
In Spain you can take photos and videos of police officers, but you cannot share them.
As a tourist in Germany, I was perfectly willing to not get in the bike paths, but I could not always tell where they were, since they often were right next to, or essentially the same thing as, the walking path. There were also times when I simply forgot to note where the bike path was, since in my country bicycles are pretty much not allowed to be on sidewalks, particularly at a high rate of speed (they use the streets). So I respect the laws and customs in Germany, but I sometimes found myself in trouble anyway. Apologies to German cyclists, after the fact!
If the sidewalk is split into a bike lane and a pedestrian lane, the bike lane is almost always the one closer to the street. But it happens to a lot of people, that you accidentally walk onto the bike lane - it's not always that obvious^^
-Of course, you can take pics and videos of the police in Spain as long as they are on duty. It is your right actually. IDK where she has got that info from
-You are not allowed to drive shirtless just because in case of an accident you may get burns on the seat belt area. As we all are covered by public health care it would be an unnecessary cost for the system. It just could have been prevented easily. (That's the point)
-You can take your shirt off if you are working out. In summer, most people go shirtless when they go jogging around the park or play any other sport. It would be weird if you were shirtless in downtown, financial area, industrial area.. (People normally don't work out in those places)
Exactly, honestly I have seen the contrary of everything she said.
@@camilaxoxo8625 I have lived in spanish touristic areas (on the coast) and it was very common for foreign tourists to walk through the city without a shirt or in bathing suits and even want to enter shops or restaurants this way. Perhaps you live in a non coast place, so you have thought this low was made for Spanish people and that's why you consider unnecessary this law. As you said, it's strange to see Spanish people downtown without T-shirt, but it happened a lot in coast touristic areas. As a result of that, this rule was established. It may sound strange to those of you who have not lived on the coast, but we have seen it very often. Usually, tourist people didn't made the difference between financial/beach areas of the city.
I would say the bike lanes are overall aceptable. It heavily depends on the city, for example in Münster its great, but most other places not so much or some places is more bad or nonexistent.
nice ❤️ , keep goin' !
7:30 when i'm in other countries and want to take photos of the police i politely ask if i'm allowed to. because of the terror attacks in europe i can understand the authorities that there are bans
Im from a lil country of sveille (spain) and here in summer u can see usually teenagers without tshirts old people its more strange but does too. The police just stop then and says that htey have to put it on. (sry for my eng)
I would like to add that the thing about people not being able to take pictures about the police is a half-truth. It's a thing about privacity, for example, some months ago an influencer was drunk, trying to enter a zone that the police was clearing because it was illegal to get concentrated and drink at night due to the pandemic, and when the polices tried to stop him of entering the zone he just insulted them and tried to fight them, so three polices had to reduce him (I don't know if it's said like that xd). Ok, so the thing is that they were filmed (because the id*ot was famous) and there's no problem with that, you just can't publish the video to a social media or at least not without pixelating the faces of the policeman, what the person who recorded the video did, because otherwise the polices wouldn't have privacity while doing their jobs, a thing that, if you are arresting a stup*d influencer, you seriously need though. So, to sum things up: you do can take pictures and videos of them but can't publish them on the internet at least not without pixelating their faces first, you can keep the video if it's for a complaint that you want to show to the justice in privacity. They can take your phone if you just recorded them and start acting like an id*ot saying: oh I will publish this online. That, if I were a police, would be like: dude, everything's fine at home?
Sorry for my english tho.

Exactly what I was thinking
In the US...the police could take a phone but would require a warrant from a judge to unlock the phone and look at things. They wouldn't be allowed to alter the photos or blur faces because once a warrant is issued the phone and everything on it is evidence and any modification would be tampering with evidence...which would violate the rules of evidence and would not be allowed in court. If that were the only piece of evidence of a crime...the state no longer has a case since they can no longer use the phone as evidence.
It is perfectly legal to not wear a shirt in Germany. You can even go to supermarkets like that.
But nobody would do that. You would get nothing but weird looks.
@@linajurgensen4698 I see people doing it all the time. Ain't nobody giving them weird looks. And if so, these people would be frowned upon cuz it ain't nobody else's business. It's only a matter of time till the last old German will have learned that you don't just fucking stare at people.

I’m not really sure about this but I think you can record the police in Spain but you can’t post it online because of privacy (so if you do you have to cover their faces). But you definitely can record if you see the police doing something bad or whatever (again not completely sure)
Denmark is a bike country, there are more bikes then people in the capital of Copenhagen 🇩🇰
The netherlands have even more bikes
I would say in germany overall is okay for bikes, but it heavily depends on the city.
@@MisterPyOne yup! out in the country in denmark there are not as many bike lanes but there are insanely many routes scattered around the country
I’m from American and the police thing really shocked me! I never knew that, but I feel that is something that is good to know. Here we can film when we get pulled over or whatever the circumstance for the civilians protection.
The finger pointing to the head actually comes from the german saying "he has a bird in his head", which basically means 'he is nuts'
In Spain we use the same but with a diferent meaning. It would be like "He is missing a screw (on his head)", meaning that someone does not have a propper setup on his/her head ergo he/she is stupid/talking nonsense
In Italy we use that to Say hes/shes brain Lost washers
Is that why people say someone is Cuckoo if they are crazy? Like they've got a bird in their head, like a cuckoo clock.

As far as I know, here in Belgium, taking pictures is never forbidden. Publishing them in the media, can be.
If you publish a photo or a video of somebody, you cannot publish his name without his consent. You cannot publish a mugshot of him asking to identify the guy.
You can however bring the picture to the police for complain, or proof. Having nobodies in the background of the picture of your kids at the beach is OK. If you want to name them on your facebook page, strictly speaking, you need their consent.
Taking a picture of the crowd opposite to you at the stadium is OK, because nobody can be identified.
If you have some crazy car on your dash-cam, you have to blur the plate of you want to publish it on youtube. But you can bring it as proof to the police if you need.
Hidden cameras need to get the consent of their 'victims'.
Filming police brutality is OK, publishing them on social media is ok only if individual officers cannot be identified. Bringing the video to the tribunal and identifying the perpetrators is OK, because it is not 'public'.
The tricky thing for foreigners not used to bike lanes, is at crossroads. I had this a lot in the Netherlands. It happens more often when you are with a group and you don't really pay attention.
So, you are a crossroad. The light is red for you, so you have to wait. You are in conversation with your friends and, without even paying attention, you walk up to the border of the road, completely forgetting there is a bike lane between the walkway and the road. And sure enough, your group stand still there, in the middle of the bike lane, like disrespectful egocentric foreigners.
Wow, it's really interesting video. So fun and instructive as well.
Police should stop people with sandals worldwide. It's a serious crime against humanity, especially with socks.

You offend the German Culture?
In the u.s. it is your right to video cops. Even though the police have body cameras, the body cameras are controlled by the individual wearing them, so to keep cops held accountable, especially in the age of technology and social media, Americans video cops always. And I think some of these people in this video need to learn about their country's civil rights/laws.
I am not definitely sure but in my country there isa traffic rule for, some people wearing white t-shirt with crosswise seatbelt design and trying to cheat the police like buckle up the seatbelt
Takeing of the shirt and trousers is not prohibited in germany. You only have to make sure not to offend others.
Ha! When I drive in sandals I take my right sandal off and drive barefooot 😬
6:20 That's not true xD You just think they come from the pool or something, it's so common to see shirtless people in Spain during summer. It's just I think she's from Barcelona, right? I think It's illegal there xD
I'm honestly surprised that there are a lot of restrictions on filming the police. I thought it would be the other way around. Here in the US, it's a right to be able to film the police (although sometimes police aren't aware of it). I know this channel is primarily for people learning English, but it's educational for English speakers too!
In Germany it’s mainly duo the strict privacy laws. You’re not allowed to film or take a picture of a person without their permission.
The spanish law about not being allowed to film the police, doesn't apply if they are not behaving properly, it can get tricky though.
It is mostly the same in Spain. There are many instances of videos of the police, but they are usually taken without the police knowing or not being able to do anything about it (from a balcony, for example). If you do on their faces, they aren't happy with it. The police never likes to be policed, their hate for the internal affairs service is not just something that Hollywood invented.
In Italy you can take videos of the police if you think they're acting bad, like being violent or something. It's totally legal to take a video in such cases.
Wow... actually here in Brazil, a man who would not feel comfortable to take his shirt off is pretty weird to be honest. So it's common, it's really normal for a man to go topless on the streets if it's cold, which most of the times is.
The first swear word on your channel. 😂🤣
Thanks for the rules l love to see them
I liked it
Very interesting video!
In my experience german and dutch cyclists are more serious than the brits also crazier
Anyone should be able to film and take pictures of police. The fact that they can't shows they normally do bad things and don't want to get caught.
I agree. They work for me. They serve me. I get to take their picture or film them, because they are accountable to the citizens who pay them.
There was a reason why this was ilegal in Spain. It was the way terrorists used to identify their targets (yes, this was a real problem). I'm not sure if it's still ilegal or not. It may have changed.
Can you make a video on Indian accent Vs American accent Vs British assent??
This shows how authoritarian France and Spain has now become when it comes to recording police violence or police committing crimes.

I have noticed that foreigners slam the door and do not think about it. Everyone will see that behavior as something rude.

@@linajurgensen4698 Same and I'm Spanish. Here in Spain that would be super rude.
The law that prevented people to film the police in france had such an enormous backlash and demonstrations against it it didn't pass (you really have to be such a crap to try to pass such a unjust law just after the killing of George Floyd in the u.s, and all the wounded victims by the police that happened at that time in france, certainly those politicians, big business, and those criminal in uniform were trying to protect themselfs) but other laws that where connected to this one are still on the gov plans or had pass, such as adding a definition of terrorism wish was totally abstract so they could put peoples in jail or in forced residence (you can't leave home and have to report to the police station, when there is a demonstration or for a certain period of time (wich can be unlimited)) just for just having differents political point of view, raising their voices, or participating in demonstrations wich is a absolut right for citizens. It was used a lot against green militants and activists, because the agro-industry in france is really powerful and has a lot of connections at the top.
And concerning the shirtless thing, in france you can take a fine but it's fairly new, it's been like maybe 5 - 6 years I feel. Your pretty much never get fined but the police will tell you to put a shirt on. Also it depend where you live and where you are, in the south or in parks you will see a lot more people shirtless.

If people cant be allowed to record them then use own webcam for your police to see if theyre doing the right thing since theres many serious crimes a police didnt get guilty since theres no proof and the biggest example is america's polices
in france officialy violent police dosen't exists, only cityzens are violent (citizens against governement of course) so filming police beating a citizen, mostly during strikes or racial controls, its bad image for the governement ... for that is not allowed

Spanish are quite conservative really, Catholic nation and all that, the police are very heavy handed.
That rule was like 4 years old and had a lot of controversy, Spain is not catholic, It is agnostic, Christian religion It is not well seeing in Spain in general, things like swear before god
when a new presindent is elected would be impossible in Spain for example.
The first laws agains slavery were approved in Spain in 1512 for the indios, saying that all were free, The Burgos laws, and more laws were approved for their protection in 1542, all become Spanish citizens, miscegenation was legal and very common in America, you can look on the internet.
The police in Spain is very well respected and very kind, not as the US police for example they are very crazy, in Spain you can run from them and they will never shoot you.
Conservative in what sense, we were one of the first countries in the world that approved gay marriage, and we introduced trans laws like the ones in Canada.
Seven years of bad Sex,do ya really wanna risk???
😂 Claudia, by God, the police aren't like Jesus 😉 But it's true that it's illegal to photograph and film the police in their normal work. If they do something bad, you record or photograph them, because in the police there can also be bad people, they are still human beings. 🙄 Maybe, the law not to record them, it also has to do with the security of their privacy or even the history of terrorism in Spain in which many police officers were targets of terrorists.
The t-shirt is also true. There are even public places such as museums, supermarkets and like that where there is a sign on the door indicating that it's forbidden to enter without a t-shirt. In some it even indicates that it's forbidden to enter barefoot. The latter especially happens in the most touristic cities on the coast.
The sandals thing is true and I think it also makes sense from what Claudia has commented on the danger of sandals with pedals in risky situations.

I don't understand why you're promoting the idea of thinking in the cultural concept of nations. Most modern European nation states don't have a culture but are diverse within and you'd rather find cultural similarities across the border in border regions. The franco-german border region poses much more of a cultural entity than looking at Germany and France separately. So the Alsace-Lorraine region is way more similar to Baden Wurttemberg, Rhineland Palatine or Saarland than to southern France. And the bordering parts of Germany mentioned are more similar to Alsace-Lorraine than to the north of Germany. And Claudia, the Catalan, should know best. Her "people" is split between France and Spain. So Catalans, who are French on the paper, speak her native tongue. This whole concept is a joke.
You do have a point yet I would say that these broader social rules can be quite different across borders or not at all as the video shows.
@@CHarlotte-ro4yi Yes, but like, in the video they still say "you can do this in Germany and this in Spain". I mean laws are obviously made by the state and do affect whole nations. But cultural stuff in general is usually super diverse. France for example is partially northern and partially mediterranean. There's no way that north and south there are similar. Mediterranean regions are always different from non-mediterranean regions.
No. Spain exists. Do no tell the spanish girl how she should feel. He wears a spanish flag...does that bother you ?
@@feynman6625 but even if Claudia would feel spanish or not she would still have to wear the Spanish Flag since Catalonia isn't independent. So even if she wears the Spanish Flag or not we can't assume her feelings.
