Eine hinterhältige Strategie von Verwaltungen mit autoritären Machtansprüchen ist es Verbote zum letztmöglichen Moment auszusprechen, wenn der Rechtsweg zeitlich besonders schwer ist, weil die Zeit fehlt, um ein Gericht zur Korrektur anzurufen.
Verwaltungen als Teil der Exekutive umgehen damit die Gewaltenteilung und stellen Judikative und Legislative quasi handlungsunfähig. Dieses Muster habe ich gegen Versammlungen erlebt und man sieht es nun auch beim
