Born as Ömer K., trans woman Lara K. (27) patrolled the capital for months – as a fake police officer: she helped real “colleagues”, travelled in patrol cars and even went to the shooting range.
Until she was caught in 2019 – wearing full police gear, carrying handcuffs, a special baton and a blank-firing weapon. Now, four years (!) later, the trial takes place at the Berlin district court.
Why are the proceedings just happening now? There was probably a lack of urgency because Lara K. is currently serving a seven-year prison sentence anyway. She was sentenced in 2021 for robbing bank customers at ATMs. Sentenced as Ömer at the time, she is now in a women’s prison.
The indictment charges her with thirteen offences, including usurpation of authority, misuse of titles and violation of the Weapons Act.
From April to August 2019, she is said to have repeatedly appeared as a policewoman in uniform: On Hardenbergplatz, where she assisted “colleagues” with an arrest. At Neukölln underground station, where she pointed out the smoking ban to passengers with a baton.
When Lara K. was caught by a patrol in Berlin’s Prinzenstraße on August 1, 2019, the check revealed that she was under supervision after serving a juvenile sentence (2014: 3 years, 3 months) for a sexual offence, among other things. Was also not allowed to wear uniforms outside the home …
“You prefer the female form of address?” asks the judge, looking at the file – still against “the defendant Ömer K”. Lara K. nods: “Yes, please.” And then: “I admit everything.” She only denies possession of child pornography.
The trial continues on the 13th of June.
