  2. Answer: they need to have a clearance (huiszoekingsbevel) to enter the house

    Funny however that they say “we take this very seriously” while also saying “nope, we cannot do anything … and every second we wait, the iphones can be sold to somebody else … every single second we wait … every single second …”

    …

    …

    But at least we take this very very seriously

  3. >We have already noticed that in densely built-up areas, for example with many terraced houses next to each other, there can be quite a margin on that supposedly exact location. Sometimes that can make a difference of a few hundred meters.”
    And so the police want to avoid raiding the wrong place. Moreover, a raid is not a simple matter: a search warrant is required. “The public prosecutor decides on that,” says Frederickx. “We can’t just go into everyone’s house.”

    Well, that seems to be normal to me?
    Let’s get a warrant for a whole neighbourhood for a phone!

  5. >Bovendien kan een inval niet zomaar: daar is een huiszoekingsbevel voor nodig. “Het parket beslist daarover”, zegt Frederickx. “Wij mogen niet zomaar bij iedereen binnen.”

    I abso fucking lutely hope so: imagine police going door to door entering and searching peoples houses because “an app says stolen goods might be here”. A judge needs to sign of on every single one of those so keep them accountable.
    Do we have probable cause as a reason to enter a home without a warrant in Belgium?

    Vs:

    >Wat de situatie nog iets moeilijker maakt: Pukkelpop is al een week geleden, en het is dus niet zeker of de gsm’s nog in het bezit zijn van de dief of dievenbende. “Het kan ook dat de persoon die de iPhones gestolen heeft ze al doorverkocht heeft en dat die locatie dan het huis is van een koper die zich van geen kwaad bewust is.”

    If you’re still buying stolen phones in 2022 you are either

    – complicit: hmm this phone is iCloud locked and registered to another person
    – dead stupid because of the above and not believing something is wrong
    – or hooked to a very capable thief that can remove locks.
