Provisions regulating the use of the technology in Hesse and Hamburg violate the right to informational self-determination under the German constitution.

Provisions regulating the use of the technology in Hesse and Hamburg violate the right to informational self-determination, a statement from the constitutional court said.

"Given the particularly broad wording of the powers, in terms of both the data and the methods concerned, the grounds for interference fall far short of the constitutionally required threshold of an identifiable danger," the court said. Hesse's State Minister of Interior Peter Beuth said current practices must be made more robust and codified, but welcomed the ruling for recognizing that"police work of the future must deal efficiently with large amounts of data".
