On July 26, 2025, the Braunschweig Police, in collaboration with other forces, conducted an operation to control the "racer and poser" scene in the city center. The operation aimed to address an increase in prohibited car races involving high-performance vehicles.

Intensive checks were conducted on 36 cars and motorcycles during the operation. Speeds exceeding 100 km/h were detected, with a maximum speed of 118 km/h recorded in a 50 km/h zone. As a result, corresponding fines have been initiated for the detected speeding violations.

In addition, 8 fines were issued for causing unauthorized noise, and 7 fines were issued for driving with an expired license. Four cars suspected of technical manipulation were seized and towed.
