Self-proclaimed (supposed) climate protectors misuse emergency call app
With a fake emergency call, climate activists are keeping the emergency services in North Rhine-Westphalia on their toes. The reason: “You thought it was an emergency, but the real emergency – the impending climate catastrophe – which will kill millions of people, is consistently ignored by our politicians.”
On Tuesday evening (December 20th), fire and police forces were called to several presumably urgent operations in the city using the nora emergency call app. Afterwards, a group of self-proclaimed environmental activists claimed responsibility for the crimes.
At around 8 p.m., fire and police forces responded together to Oberhauser Strasse in the Frintrop district. An alleged gas leak in a residential building and a person covered in blood been reported via the emergency call app nora However, the officers did not find anyone injured at the scene, nor could they detect a gas leak.
The app user subsequently contacted the control centers with the following message via the chat function of the emergency call app:
“You thought it was an emergency, but the real emergency - the impending climate catastrophe - which will kill millions of people, is consistently ignored by our politicians. We will continue this form of protest until our federal government enacts effective laws to prevent climate catastrophe.”
During the evening, further emergency calls were made in the city area, to which several emergency services were dispatched.
Among other things, it involved an alleged break-in with armed perpetrators and another alleged gas leak . In all cases, a large number of rescue workers were dispatched to the respective locations. These were not available for possible other operational situations at this time.
If false emergency calls are deliberately made via the nora emergency call app, this has the same consequences as misusing emergency calls via telephone using the numbers 112 and 110. The respective control center sends a large number of emergency services to the specified location depending on the occasion. At the same time, these officers cannot be available for actual operational situations.
Last generation distances itself!
“That wasn’t us! Our protest follows the clear consensus to stand by our actions head on. We don’t make anonymous statements,” says the Last Generation group, which has launched several high-profile protests in recent weeks.
However, Jakob Beyer, spokesman for the climate activists, rejects responsibility for his organization's misuse of the Nora app. She neither initiated this action nor was such abuse an option for her. “We are clearly committed to our actions and do not act anonymously. It is important to us who is behind the blockades, for example, and why we are disrupting everyday life,” it says.
Anyone who misuses the emergency call app is committing a criminal offense.
The police state security has started an investigation into the misuse of emergency calls. According to initial findings, a group of self-proclaimed environmental activists from southern Germany comes into consideration. The investigation is ongoing.
