I don’t report, because it’s not anonymous. And other people who kept reporting like crazy ended up getting charged for it by the police, so I’d rather not do that. Plus it is typically the case that reports aren’t getting followed up upon. Not that it would even make sense to literally report every single car all the way down the entire street anyway. I’ve seen Ordnungsamt people walk through it, so they very clearly know. Not that it is some secret anyway since again, it’s absolutely everywhere. It’s the norm. So if they wanted to enforce it, then they could just do it.
I admit I don’t know a lot about this type of stuff, but there must be some (probably super involved) way to get this enforced. I mean it is written in law so there must be some way to fight it, but you’d probably have to sue the Ordnungsamt or the city some shit like that.
Cars have such a high priority in people’s lives that this wouldn’t help much because a court would generally rule in favor of the cars, since a lot of people are basically dependent on them, which somehow justifies having your car park in front of your house. Otherwise we’d have the consequence of having to create dedicated parking spaces everywhere in form of parking garages / houses, which would be away from where people live since the space for that is typically not existent.
But hey, you’re welcome to try to create some sort of precedence in court. Maybe you can afford some very good lawyer who could pull this through and convince the judge.
