German police have been filmed in a viral video displaying their meticulousness by using measuring sticks to determine whether people at a protest against Covid-19 vaccine mandates are following social-distancing rules.
One version of the video garnered over 1.8 million views as it made the rounds on social media on Sunday. While the source of the footage is unclear, it was purportedly shot at a demonstration on Saturday in Frankfurt and showed police walking through a crowd, using folding rulers to check whether people were standing at least 1.5 meters apart.
