Germany: Police sniff out illicit wild garlic operation
Summary
Police in Saxony, Germany, uncovered an illegal wild garlic harvesting ring, seizing 100 kg of bulbs worth thousands of euros.
Six suspects, including repeat offenders, were caught in two separate vehicles with bags of the protected plant.
Wild garlic, prized in cooking, can only be collected in small amounts for personal use under German law. Large-scale theft is a recurring issue.
The suspects are now under investigation for gang theft.

Warum das Argument, man müsse in sozialen Netzwerken bleiben, um Opposition zu leisten, völliger Unsinn ist
"Leave X | TikTokDas Argument, man könne Plattformen wie X oder TikTok nicht verlassen, weil es sonst an »Widerspruch« und »Opposition« fehle, ist aus mehreren Gründen nicht haltbar – es ist schlicht völliger Bullshit. Es beruht auf einer falschen Annahme darüber, wie diese Plattformen funktionieren und welche Auswirkungen die eigene Präsenz dort tatsächlich hat."

in reply to JohnWorks • • •It's not economical to grow. It has very specific requirements in terms of wet soil and not too much sun, it has pretty low yields in terms of weight/area, compared to other crops. and since it isn't grown commercially, you also dont have optimized farming techniques and breeds etc.
and since it's quite common in the wild, well, if the price is too high, you'd just go and collect some yourself. Wild garlic products in supermarkets are already too expensive for me and i'd rather spend half an hour filling a bag with 2kg than buying 50g for 5 bucks.

Unknown parent • • •Nope, wild garlic is not garlic just grown outside of gardens.
Garlic is a tuber while wild garlic is a leafy plant which just happens to smell a lot like garlic.

::: spoiler TW: Pig brutality, death, murder | explanation
Basically: Cops in east-Germany (officially rightfully, but even that is disputed) detained a black man and chained him to the the bed. According to them: Later one cop hears a splashing sound, then they ignore two fire/smoke alarms, and when they finally look for him he's just randomly burning alive. Of course, evidence gets faked, testimonies change depending on time and person, so nothing can be proven and they don't get convicted. According to the pigs, he must've used a lighter (that later spawned in the evidence bag) to burn himself. Which has been proven to be impossible, of course.

in reply to TriflingToad • • •Some species don't grow very well in agricultural settings -- especially forest products.
If you harvest too much from public property, then you're breaking the law.
Maybe people will figure out how to farm it, which would probably lower the price enough so that people stop poaching it.

It's not illegal to harvest from your own ground, garden or farm. This is about wild plants picked in the woods. Woods have special regulations.

And probably roasters and aioli makers too.
