Yet Another Police Law

In light of recent events, Netzpolitik.org is warning against further tightening of police laws in the various federal states. This time, Schleswig-Holstein is leading the way. Netzpolitik.org writes: In the future, AI cameras will be used to track down cell phone offenders, armed drones will be permitted, and covert filming and eavesdropping will become easier.

Similar to the Palantir software, an AI-powered program is intended to help analyze footage from surveillance cameras. It is designed to autonomously recognize faces, analyze behavior, and track specific individuals through the camera network. This means that everyone is being monitored without cause and their behavior is being evaluated. We are certain that the Federal Constitutional Court will not allow this — but it will take another 8 years or so before a ruling is made, and we will be subjected to this terror in the meantime.

The quality of the cameras is now so good that even footage from moving vehicles can be analyzed. Cellphone offenders are in for trouble. But in return, millions will have their privacy invaded. Non-conforming behavior will become visible more quickly and subject to sanctions.
This, too, cannot stand up in court. Why are politicians knowingly proposing such legislation? Our behavior and our intentions are being monitored and made predictable...
