Deutsche Boerse tried to buy LSE for years, but the EU blocked it in 2017. I fail to see how this deal would be any better; financial markets are global so why does it matter where the acquirer sits.

In Germany Ordnungshaft (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordnungsmittel) is the measure for refusing to testify. It is strongly regulated and can't extend longer than 6 weeks without going to a higher court.
Erzwingungshaft is incarceration for failure to pay fines or penalties.

Retroreflective road signs get close to 100% light returned and are a problem for most LIDARs because they blind the sensor. Some companies are working on car paint with higher visibility for LIDAR systems (https://automotive.basf.com/news/read/improve-lidar-detectio...) but that seems the wrong approach to me. The LIDAR needs to work with legacy infrastructure and nature.
