      Bavaria is a traditionally very conservative state. The Conservative party is ruling with an iron grip for decades.

        But yeah.

        Additional Context: The state government of Bavaria (and several others around that same period, with similar ideas) passed a controversial reform of police laws in 2017-2018 (It was polemically called “The strictest police law since 1945”).

        It included changes such as:

        • increased allowance of use of personal data by the police forces.

        • allowing the police to openly film and photograph people participating in public gatherings.

        • allowing the police to infringe on postal secrecy and to confiscate mail without a person’s knowledge. (if given permission by the courts)

        • allowing the use of police spies. Including even entering people’s homes if given permission.

        As well as making previous restrictions such as on “probable danger” way more lax.

        • They should put some kind of mark on all those suspicious people and their house, to also let other people know who lives among them.
