Where in Germany though? Helicopters tend to be more popular to use for various purposes in very densely populated places, like Hong Kong or New York City, but you don't really see them much in rural areas except for emergencies.

At least for Berlin I can attest that helicopters, outside of the yellow ones for emergency care, are a very rare occurrence. I have yet so see a police helicopter outside of a large demonstration.

		They're used in Berlin, though they're surprisingly quiet compared to the emergency care ones. Maybe flying higher? Here's their POV: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/U3mncVE1TQ0 Unsurprisingly, the comments are mostly making fun of them for wasting tax money on hunting down some guys with spray bottles.

I live in a pop 200k city, hospital copters are a daily occurrence. Police? Never seen one, Hamburg, one of our biggest cities, apparently has 3.

		Same for me. I live in a pop 1M city in America. Hospital choppers are fairly common. Police choppers rare. Also, according to the tracker, there's only one airborne in LA right now, and it is a pretty large city. It's close to 100x bigger than a 200k city.

In a big city. Not rural at all.
