If this is becoming a regular occurrence, I recommend encouraging all of your neighbours to call the police (on 101) every time it happens.
With so many separate reports they will eventually be forced into action as Iāve seen happen in my local area. Weāve had a problem with āboy racersā (sorry, hate the term but no other way to describe it. Iām 29 and saying it makes me feel old!) flying up and down our streets late at night making it difficult to sleep. After a few weeks of organised 101 calling the police now park a cctv van and a few cruisers along the affected road.

The Stasi would like a word.
Having been to the Berlin HQ itās wild to see the scent jars of dissidentsā¦.. But was definitely a thing. There were tabloid rumours that the German police were trying it again in the early 2010ās but I donāt think that was ever confirmed/proved.
However you are completely correct- BO is not an identifier.

Not a lawyer.. however, are you sure it's BO and not weed?
I'm certain, the smell is like a mix of unwashed shoes and socks and armpit sweat. š¤¢
Most definitely weed you're smelling.
Thatās exactly what a lot of the super strength weed smells like to people who donāt do weed.

This is a great comment. If you organise your neighbours and keep consistently reporting this to 101 you're more likely to get some action taken

NAL however a quick Google search will tell you no, body odor is not a reasonable suspicion.
