Strengthening judicial oversight over secret surveillance

New laws increase court control over covert operations by police and security services. Courts gain power to terminate surveillance at any time and must justify their decisions. Citizens subject to such control will have greater protection against excessive or unjustified surveillance.
Key points
Court can terminate covert surveillance at any time if deemed unjustified or disproportionate.
All court decisions authorizing surveillance must now be justified in writing.
Services must inform court and prosecutor of surveillance results and progress upon request.
Surveillance materials unusable in criminal proceedings must be destroyed within 3 months, extendable by another 3 months.
Service heads submit annual reports on covert operations to Parliament.
Changes affect Police, Border Guard, Military Police, ABW, CBA, Military Intelligence, Tax Administration and State Protection Service.
