It's been talked about on the radio today: Event day against hate mails : Nationwide home searches because of Hasspostings
You can hardly gauge this as long as you haven't seen the postings. But I am terrified in both cases:
That is why I'm interested on what has actually been given as a reason on the search warrants, what they were searching for.
The crucial point is that a home search according to the pattern "Let's come in to show some force" and the legally so-called "looking around" are inappropriate and unconstitutional.
So far, the reason of searching for a crime weapon is a reason, just like you search for the bloody knife after a murder. But I as a computer scientist really doubt that a computer or a phone are a "crime weapon" in the sense of a murderer's knife, I consider that very farfetched. You wouldn't classify the pants of a bank robber as a criminal tool because you say that it was January and so cold that, without pants, he wouldn't have gone to rob the bank. I consider that huge nonsense.
Sometimes it's also about "evidence", to prove that somebody has written a posting or possesses the password for an account. But that's kinda a whole lot of bull.
What bothers me the most is the priorities, namely that they put so much time, money, and effort into conducting political persecutions while, simultaneously, the judiciary is overburdened and violent criminals go free. Completely aside from the fact that it doesn't fit together when the federal government, respectively Nancy Faeser, take in a lot of Arabs, especially Palestinians, into the country and celebrate Islamic holidays, but then complain about anti-Israeli anti-semitism.
If you wanted to fight against anti-semitism in Germany, there is precisely one person whose incarceration would have the biggest effect: Nancy Faeser. She herself certainly isn't an anti-semite, but ideologically so stubborn and so leftist that she has the biggest anti-semitic effect. And there are quite a few reasons to incarcerate her. § 344 criminal code, Prosecution of innocent persons, minimum one year prison sentence.
I wonder what it's about, again just against Germans, or for example, against Palestinians too. Ah, it's written on it:
I see. Again, the easy-to-abuse incitement of the people and § 188.
I really don't like the direction this state is moving in.
And again, the BKA under Faeser's command, that this terror is originating from.
German law enforcement agencies take action against Hasspostings on the Internet. According to the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA), the focus of the event day were postings with anti-semitic content. A total of 127 police activities have been conducted. On Tuesday, in more than 90 criminal investigation proceedings, over 50 homes have been searched and countless accused have been interrogated.
The actions took place in Baden-Wuerttemberg, Bavaria, Berlin, Brandenburg, Bremen, Hamburg, Hesse, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Lower Saxony, North Rhine-Westphalia, Rhineland-Palatinate, Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, Schleswig-Holstein, and Thuringia.
According to the BKA, almost two thirds of the procedure are based on investigations surrounding politically motivated criminality from the right wing. In addition, there are cases of foreign or religious ideology. The most common crimes were incitement of the people, insulting of persons in political life, and the dissemination of symbols of unconstitutional organizations.
The numbers have quadrupled, big dark figures [like, unreported crimes]
"The amount of anti-semitic Hassposting cases that were reported to police has grown significantly in the past years", the BKA reported. From 2020 (36
to 2023 (1671), the numbers have more than quadrupled within three years. This is also because a central reporting office "has been brightening the dark figures on the net more and more". Still, when it comes to Hasspostings, you have to assume that the dark figures are still big.
"The total reported cases of anti-semitic crimes have also increased significantly", the BKA said. In 2023, they went up by around 96 percent compared to the previous year. Within ten years, there was a growth of around 224 percent. More than half of the cases were registered after 7. October 2023, the Hamas terror attack against Israel.
Faeser: Spiral of hate and violence
The majority of all recorded anti-semitic crimes, with around 59 percent, has been attributed to the right-wing spectrum. But the biggest increases in anti-semitic crimes are found in the areas of foreign or religious ideologies. "The increased numbers also show that the situation in the Middle East has a direct influence on radicalization and crime in Germany", the BKA said.
"We need to stop the spiral of hate and violence", Federal Minister of the Interior Nancy Faeser (SPD) said. "Hate crime in the net is the hotbed for radicalization and violence." The event day is "just the tough-on-crime activities that we need: When the police is at your door, every culprit knows that hate crime has consequences." Faeser appealed to all citizens to report Hasspostings and press charges.
More than 50 homes were searched
Germany, I am terrified of you.It's been talked about on the radio today: Event day against hate mails : Nationwide home searches because of Hasspostings
You can hardly gauge this as long as you haven't seen the postings. But I am terrified in both cases:
- If they genuinely posted something that justifies a home search, I am terrified of what is being posted in Germany.
- If it was unjustified, I am terrified of a state that searches homes because of comments on the Internet.
That is why I'm interested on what has actually been given as a reason on the search warrants, what they were searching for.
