German police commissioner: AfD membership incompatible with service
Germany's Federal Police Commissioner Uli Grötsch has voiced opposition to police officers being members of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, calling it "incompatible" with serving in law enforcement. "AfD membership and working as a police officer are incompatible," Grötsch told the Rheinische Post newspaper in remarks published late on Monday. The former Social Democrat (SPD) lawmaker added that officers who demonstrate clear commitment to the AfD should be dismissed. "For me, commitment means openly supporting the party, running for local or city council or even for the Bundestag," he said. Grötsch pointed to a recent decision by Germany's domestic intelligence agency to classify the AfD as a "confirmed right-wing extremist" organization in early May, saying there was concrete evidence that the party pursued efforts that threaten Germany's free democratic order. However, the agency then suspended the classification, which would have granted it broader surveillance powers over the party, while the AfD pursues legal action. Pending a ruling from the Cologne administrative court, the agency will continue to treat the party as a "suspected" extremist case. The anti-immigration AfD is the strongest opposition force in parliament after coming second in February's elections.

Road rule warning to Aussies after driver cops $1,775 fine, 22 demerit points in one go
Drivers are being reminded of their responsibility to follow the myriad rules of the road after one L-plater copped $1,775 in fines and a whopping 22 demerit points in one hit this past weekend. NSW Traffic and Highway Patrol are holding the driver of a silver Saab convertible up as an example of what not to do after the male, who held a NSW Learner's class C licence, was caught doing 129km/h on the Hume Highway on Sunday. It was the car's speed in the 110km/h zone near Penrose which initially alerted officers in Mittagong Highway Patrol to the driver's wrongdoing, but the offences didn't stop there. The learner licence holder, who was not displaying yellow L plates on the front or the rear of the car, can only do a maximum speed of 90km/h, making his speed actually 39km over the limit. After being stopped at 4.15 pm, officers then spotted a mobile phone positioned near the steering wheel playing a music video on YouTube. "When questioned about this, the male swiped the screen to a map app and replied 'no, I'm not using it, just looking at the map'," officers said of the interaction. It is illegal for learner and provisional licence holders in NSW to use a phone for "any purpose", even for directions. 😳 Alarming breach of well-known road rule as 8,500 Aussies cop $395 fine 🐉 New Aussie road markings aimed at giving drivers a 'sense of warning' 🛴 Aussies warned over $1,161 fine after parents' shocking e-scooter act on city road When police questioned the female passenger about her role as a supervisor, she replied, "I was asleep," officers said. The offences resulted in numerous fines and demerit points. They included: Exceeding speed over 30km/h, $1045 fine and five demerit points Learner using a mobile phone, $410 fine and five demerit points Not displaying L plates, $320 fine and two demerit points. Because it was a long weekend and double demerit points were in place, the male driver accumulated a whopping 22 demerit points. Because learner drivers can only accumulate a maximum of four demerit points, he was automatically suspended from driving with a pending extension from NSW Transport. The female passenger also copped a penalty infringement for failing to supervise. Do you have a story tip?

Indicted Charlotte councilwoman Tiawana Brown picks up 2 challengers in election
Tiawana Brown, a Charlotte City Council member indicted on wire fraud charges, will face at least two challengers with political experience if she runs for reelection this year. The first-term Democrat was indicted alongside her two adult daughters in May on charges of wire fraud conspiracy and wire fraud. They're accused by Charlotte's U.S. attorney of filing false applications for federal pandemic relief loans and spending loan money on personal expenses, including a lavish birthday party for Brown. The crimes allegedly occurred before Brown joined the council. All three pleaded not guilty in their first court appearance. Brown, who represents west Charlotte's District 3, has pledged to stay in office and run for reelection. She's eligible to run 'until convicted of a felony,' Mecklenburg County Board of Elections spokeswoman Kristin Mavromatis previously told The Charlotte Observer. An indictment is not proof of guilt, and Brown has not yet received a trial. But weeks before candidate filing officially opens, a pair of notable candidates have already declared their intentions to run: former Elizabeth City Councilman Montravias King and community activist Joi Mayo. Charlotte's primaries are scheduled for Sept. 9. In the heavily Democratic District 3, the winner of that primary will carry a significant advantage into November's general election. Mayo confirmed to the Observer she will run in the Democratic primary for District 3. She's also launched a campaign website and social media. While it will be her first time campaigning for public office, she's been an active organizer in southwest Charlotte for years. A Virginia native, Mayo moved to Charlotte in 2012 for a Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools teaching job after earning degrees from Elon University and the College of Charleston. She became a homeowners association president in the Nations Ford area and was elected president of the Southwest Area Neighborhood Coalition in 2019. Mayo left teaching in 2022 to work full-time for nonprofits. She founded Transforming Nations Ford in 2024 to work on neighborhood beautification and historic preservation. The group also advocates for responsible growth and investments in parks and recreation, transit and public safety. Her platform includes supporting public safety initiatives such as SAFE Charlotte and Alternatives to Violence; increasing permanent affordable housing; and funding workforce development. Despite the high-profile nature of Brown's indictment, Mayo said the news was 'not necessarily' the driving force behind her decision to run for the District 3 seat. She was mainly spurred, she said, by a desire to increase community engagement within city government. 'I'm just excited to get out there,' she told the Observer. King's statement announcing his campaign for the district also didn't directly reference Brown's indictment. The announcement said he 'enters the race with a deep commitment to smart growth, public safety and government transparency in one of the city's fastest-growing districts.' King is best known for his 2013 for the Elizabeth City City Council while a student at Elizabeth City State University. He made national news when his eligibility for the race was challenged due to his on-campus address. King ultimately was ruled eligible and won a council seat. He currently works as a nonprofit executive and renewable energy consultant, and he previously worked as a teacher and legislative assistant for Democrats in the North Carolina legislature. On his campaign website, King lists a platform focused on equitable growth, public safety, sustainability and transparent government. 'District 3 is changing fast. We need to make sure that development doesn't outpace infrastructure, that public safety keeps up with growth, and that residents have a voice in the decisions shaping their neighborhoods,' he said in his campaign announcement. The official candidate filing window for the 2025 municipal elections runs from July 7 to July 18. Brown won an open three-person Democratic primary in 2023 before defeating Republican James Harrison Bowers by a margin of 78.6% to 21.2% in the general election to secure her first term.
