Wth, those stupid fucks. How could they think that was a good idea? How undemocratic and unlawful does our police operate?
I mean, I know German police has a lot of undemocratic elements, mostly being undermined by right extremist networks. But everytime I read news like this, I feel more obliged to believe that rather than fascist extremists, stupidity might be one of their main problems?
Apps like this are akin to the One Ring – no police force or government agency can resist the temptation. Better that they be destroyed.
Contact tracing apps always seemed like a step too far for me. You cant just create that capacity and expect no downsides.
The government gained new authority and surveillance options. Surely they’ll give them back when they don’t need them anymore? Surely they’ll never use them maliciously?

This was really unlikely to happen and nobody ever warned that this could happen… ಠ_ಠ
And this is why you can’t trust people with your data. There will always be a complete jackass in the chain who will not give a fuck about you and your private life and will be eager to give the data away because “no one cares, lol”.
If it’s not given to the police it will be given to google or to any shop who will **value** your private data. And by **value** I mean fuck you deep in so many ways that you don’t even suspect, because you are reasonable people and not a professional of screwing people for money.
They committed the one thing that their strongest opponents predicted they would do. Good luck making your citizen install your shit for the next pandemic, idiots!
What’s the difference between conspiracy theory and fact? About six months.
Stupid headline. This is not about the normal contact tracing that issues this Google-Apple-protocol and does all this stuff automatically in the background.
It’s an check-in app where you have to actively scan QR-Codes.
>While trying to track down witnesses, police and prosecutors managed to successfully petition local health authorities to release data from the Luca app, which logs how long people stayed at an establishment.
It’s the mistake of the health authorities to give the data, as it is their job to know by whom data may be petitioned. To put the blame solely on the police is wrong.
what a surprise! Who would have thought that? But we should always let the big brothers spying on us because it is to keep us safe!
not surprising since they changed the law on cell surveillance.
german police massivley overuse the tracking of cell phones!
Governments doing government things – more shocked about people allowing this than them using it for convenience.
never trust your goverment
who could have forseen this. If only people dien’t forget what happened xx years ago in germany.
It is 2022 and the people that gouvern us are still blindsided by function creep.
“They are using this tool in a way it wasen’t intended for, because nothing is fundamentally stopping them from doing so.”
“Oh my! I’m absolutely flabbergasted! Who could’ve predicted?”
Police abusing power? You don’t say… it’s almost like they shouldn’t get any power!
Damm who knew making the govt track and have live data where you at 100% of the time and internal passports would ever be used for tracking people I’m shocked, flabbergasted and befuddled truly.
I knew it would happen eventually, two years is all it took.
Where there’s a trough pigs will gather.
Aaaaaand who is surprised?
This Luca app think surprised me when I was asked to download it to go in a restaurant in Konstanz last fall.
I showed up the official German app there (Corona something, by the Koch Institute), and no, I needed to flash a QR Code with Luca to have a timestamp for when I did arrive.
This really had surprised me a great lot that it could be possible to mandate a non-official app for sanitary purposes.
