      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.
