In January 1937, [[Carl Freiherr von Vogelsang]], it was revealed that the editor of ''[[Liechtensteiner Vaterland]]'' and a founding member of the [[Liechtenstein Homeland Service]], had sent a letter asking the police [[Friedrichshafen]] or the border guards in [[Lindau]] to arrest Ludwig Hasler, the head of the Liechtenstein tax office, claiming that his upcoming trip to Germany for a foreign exchange was a part of a conspiracy by German-Jewish emigrants three years prior in 1934.{{Sfn|Geiger|1997a|p=453}} As a result, Hoop ordered a search of the offices of the ''Vaterland'' for any incriminating letters and Vogelsang promptly left the country.{{Sfn|Geiger|1997a|p=454}}<ref name=":102">{{Cite web |last=Schremser |first=Jürgen |date=31 December 2011 |title=Vogelsang, Carl Freiherr von |url=https://historisches-lexikon.li/Vogelsang,_Carl_Freiherr_von |access-date=20 July 2023 |website=[[Historisches Lexikon des Fürstentums Liechtenstein]] |language=de}}</ref> A majority of the Landtag approved of Hoop's actions, but members of the [[Patriotic Union (Liechtenstein)|Patriotic Union]] called for his resignation over the issue, believing the search to be unconstitutional. It was decided that two special [[Judge|judges]] would determine the legal implications of the case.{{Sfn|Geiger|1997a|pp=468–470}} Eventually, in July 1937, it was concluded by both judges that Hoop had not acted unconstitutionally by ordering the search against Vogelsang, and Hoop was subsequently legally [[Acquittal|acquitted]] of any wrong-doing.{{Sfn|Geiger|1997a|pp=472–473}}
