On January 31, 2013 the public prosecutors for the city of Dresden were given a search order for the band members houses by the Stuttgart regional court. They were allowed to confiscate recordings of the song “Bullenschweine” from the album “Ein Volk steht hinter uns” (1982), which was classified as inciting violence, largely due to the lyrics “Haut die Bullen platt, wie Stullen” (English translation: “Knock the cops flat as a sandwich”. As a reaction, some fans began a sale of the title, with the goal to get the song “Bullenschweine” in the charts. The song made the best-seller list on both Amazon and the iTunes Store , but did not reach the official charts. The album Ein Volk steht hinter uns was listed as dangerous for youth (German term: jugendgefährdenden Medien ). However on December 11, 2015 it was taken off of that list.
