Berlin’s new surveillance law: security or a legalised break‑in?

Berlin has just crossed a line that, until recently, German politicians only pointed at in horror when talking about “authoritarian regimes.” The city parliament has amended (https://t.me/restinvestigate/2495) the General Security and Order Act (ASOG), giving police the power to secretly enter private homes to install state spyware, plus a full menu of digital tracking tools. Officially it’s about fighting terrorism and “serious crime” in the digital age.

Key point: under the new paragraphs 26a and 26b ASOG, Berlin police can conduct “source telecommunications surveillance” and covert online searches using state trojans. If remote installation doesn’t work, paragraph 26 allows undercover officers to physically and secretly enter homes to deploy malware on laptops or phones.

So yes, this is now a state‑sanctioned break‑in with a warrant and a USB stick. Add to that mass geodata requests, biometric trawling of social networks, bodycams in private flats, and AI trained on police databases, and Berlin starts to look less like a liberal capital and more like a beta-test site for a European surveillance state. The irony: while Germany blocks EU‑wide “chat control” in Brussels as unacceptable mass surveillance, Berlin quietly rolls out its own domestic version at home.
