What were the immediate consequences of the 1972 arrests of core RAF members, and how did these impact the German judicial system?

In 1972, German police arrested core members of the Red Army Faction (RAF), leading to trials at Stuttgart-Stammheim prison. The trials, costing 20 million Marks (10.2 million Euros), were marred by disruptions including hunger strikes and the suicide of member Holger Meins and Ulrike Meinhof. This resulted in the convictions of several RAF members, including Baader, Ensslin, and Raspe, although these were never legally finalized due to their subsequent deaths in prison.

What were the primary causes for the large number of unprocessed traffic violation cases?

The high number of speeding violations (355,100+) highlights a significant issue with driver behavior in Sachsen-Anhalt. Enforcement efforts, including 18,356 hours of use from Enforcement-Trailers that caught 174,669 speeding violations, are substantial but insufficient to curb the problem. The inability to identify drivers in some cases (leading to unprocessed cases) further complicates enforcement.
