So the Bavarian police has chosen the side of the rebel scum. Looks like I’ll have to switch to asymmetric warfare

It's staged.

I was thinking that. Pretty cool cops (unless those are fake too) though, playing along for the photo.

The police department shot the photo in order to raise awareness for a certain law which makes it illegal to carry gun props that look too realistic. The original Facebook post includes puns on Star Wars. So yeah, pretty cool all together. The title of this post takes it out of context though.

So does this law only applies to guns? What about lightsabers? AT-AT? X-Wing fighters? Bolters? Laser muskets?

The lightsaber no. The rest, knowing Germany probably yes. The vehicles would most likely require some form of license even if they're not functional.

If they're functional, you're definitely in trouble with the Straßenverkehrsordnung.
