“Governmental Decree” issued by the Austrian Government [Present-day Austria]: “[…] When a Jew is only stopped because he does not have a residency-permit (‘Aufenthaltsbollete’) he is to be turned over to the Royal Imperial Chief Police Authority/Directive (‘k. k. Polizey-Oberdirection’) in order that he be treated according to the existing regulations. If however, aside from him violating the patent, he has committed another serious crime against [the existing regulations of] the magistrate, he is still to be stopped by the magistrate, but simultaneously, he is to be reported to the Royal Imperial Chief Police Authority/Directive (‘k. k. Polizey-Oberdirection’) as to how long he has been in Vienna without a residency-permit (‘Aufenthaltsbollete’). […]”
