This conference talk explores the extensive data collection practices of German security agencies and police authorities, examining their growing databases and the implications for privacy and civil liberties. Delve into systems like INPOL-neu, PMS, ATD, and PIAV, and learn how innocent individuals often remain in these databases even after investigations are closed. Discover how the increasing reliance on artificial intelligence for facial recognition, gait analysis, and "suspicious behavior" detection transfers decision-making power from humans to computers, affecting fundamental rights. Follow speaker Janik's personal journey seeking information about his own data in police databases, including legal challenges and complaints filed with authorities when the Federal Criminal Police Office misused his facial recognition data. His attorney Bea provides legal context and raises important questions about the future of responsibility in policing. Gain practical knowledge about information rights, complaint procedures, and countermeasures against excessive surveillance.
