Police officers made a visit at Björn Höcke's home. The opposition leader in the parliament of the state of Thuringen is accused of having posted hate on social media. What is there to search in a home when the "crime" is committed on the internet? The officers just want to see if Björn Höcke's words were his own words and not maybe ... lock a squirrel! It is a classic example of intimidation and government overreach in Merkel's "best Germany we ever had." (note: That was her last election campaign slogan.)
