Civil servant do-gooders were accompanied on their daily crusade against breaches of the law and petty offenses. The friends and helpers from the patrol police and the public order office fought against misdemeanors of all kinds and constantly redefined the boundaries of law and order. Swimming-pool pissers, inner-city speeders, fare dodgers and “Florida-Rolf” could dress warmly when the law-abiding cleaners were on duty.

The law enforcers unerringly tracked down violations of all written and sometimes unwritten laws. What these watchdogs noticed would certainly not have caught the eye of anyone else. And it was possible that no one had ever heard of the paragraphs that the inspectors had at hand. That’s because these officials were actors. There were six protagonists in the play: four patrol officers and two officers from the public order office. Short scripts set out the framework of the plot, the rest was improvised.

All the other participants were initiated afterwards. Troublemakers, fraudsters, petty criminals, traffic hooligans and troublemakers could dress warmly, because Heike, Andy, Klaus and Gernot knew no mercy.
