CDU and SPD plan changes in police law

After the summer break, changes in police law in Germany are to be made. The parties CDU and SPD have agreed on several measures. These include the extension of preventive custody, the increased use of bodycams and the creation of the legal bases for the use of Taser weapons.

The CDU internal politician Burkard Dregger said optimistically that drafts that are capable of discussion by September will be optimistic. Then a debate with the coalition partner and the committees should take place.

In the coalition agreement, the parties had already agreed to permanently introduce bodycams to the police and the fire brigade. In addition, the legal foundations for the use of Tasern are to be created. However, there are still many details to be clarified.

Especially in cases of domestic violence, bodycams should be able to be used more in the future in order to be able to document the operations better. The number of cases of domestic violence is increasing, so it is important that the police can also work with bodycams in this connection.

With the distance electro pulse devices, the so-called Tasern, it is primarily about the conditions under which they should be used. Taser shoot small arrows, which give up a power pulse in the impact and make the hit unable to act for a few seconds. It is still unclear whether they should be legally classified how firearms should be classified. The operating threshold may be set lower to provide the policeman with various escalation levels, from Spray and tray to the firearm, according to the domestic spokesman for the CDU parliamentary group.

Furthermore, the CDU and SPD plan an extension of preventive custody to a maximum of five days. So far, the maximum duration is two days. This measure could be of great importance in the event of major events such as a church day or a G20 summit.

A controversial question in the coalition negotiations is the so-called source telecommunications monitoring. There is currently a regulation on telephone surveillance in police law, which, however, does not apply to mobile telecommunications. According to Dregger, terrorist people and members of criminal clans no longer use landline connections. It is therefore necessary to expand the monitoring options to mobile communication. However, this is a greater interference with fundamental rights that still needs to be discussed.

CDU and SPD are planning some changes in police law to regulate the use of bodycams and tasers. The main thing is to meet the requirements for police work and at the same time to protect the fundamental rights of the citizens. The specific draft laws are to be presented in September and then discussed.
