@colinoscapee, MarkinNam no offence, but why do you assume that it is a communist thing? In Germany, if you are a resident, you have to register your new address within 2 weeks. As a tourist, this time period extends to 2 month. It is the same ... Read More

Recommendations: Reliable cheap 2nd hand scooter or motorbike models by asthecrowflies

Sure the police don't have any grounds or an arrest yet. But they may actually don't have to. It may already be enough to ask a "befriended" official to visit him at his home as ask him firmly to stop. Showing him with screenshots ... Read More
