German Police May Not Break Into a Suspect's PC

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the no-peeking dept.

hweimer writes to tell us that a ruling in Germany's Supreme Court has made it illegal for the police to secretly hack into a suspect's computer. While some hailed this as a victory for civil rights, Germany's Interior Minister Wolfgang Schauble is expected to push for changes in the legal framework to allow police hacking.

    Well I always leave my car unlocked at night. Then the police walked by, looked in, and saw drugs and proceeded to search the rest of the car. The drugs must have been put there by someone else for the same reason it was so easy for the police to find them. Sounds like much the same argument to me.
