public perception

In September 2012, the Saxon state parliament lifted Neubert's immunity. The Dresden public prosecutor's office accused him of blocking a Nazi demonstration in Dresden on February 19, 2011 together with others. In May 2014, Neubert was sentenced to a fine of 1,500 euros by the Dresden District Court for gross disruption and violation of the Assembly Act. His appeal to the Higher Regional Court was rejected. In January 2015, Neubert then lodged a constitutional complaint with both the Federal Constitutional Court (BVerfG) in Karlsruhe and the Constitutional Court in Leipzig. In 2013, Neubert won a victory at the regional court against the non-individualized radio cell interrogation that became known as “Handygate” in the context of the anti-Nazi protests with 800,600 traffic data in Dresden's southern suburb. All collected data had to be deleted afterwards. For a second, smaller, non-individualized radio cell query that day in Dresden, Neubert and Rico Gebhardt submitted a constitutional complaint to the Federal Constitutional Court. Against the ban on dunning in February 2011, Neubert won a victory against the city of Dresden before the Dresden Administrative Court in 2013. The judges criticized the planned separation concept of the city.
