“Even if the FPÖ advocates police video surveillance in principle, they must not lead to totalitarian circumstances,” commented the freedom spokesman for the Interior, NABG today. Mag. Gernot Darmann In a first reaction, the initiative of Interior Minister Karner. So the video surveillance should not be carried out across the board, but only strategically specifically on “crime hotspots”.
Video surveillance in public places makes sense if it serves to support the police in searches for searches. At the same time, however, it must be granted that the basic and freedom rights of uninvolved passers-by remained preserved, Darmann emphasized. “Just because the ÖVP interior minister fails to combat crime, our citizens must not be spied on for no reason,” says Darmann.
Darmann also recalled the “Security Package” initiated under FPÖ Interior Minister Herbert Kickl together with the ÖVP, which, among other things, made it much easier to use video surveillance data. Specifically, the obligation to issue the publication in public space (so-called “Quick-Freeze” procedure) was introduced.
“Video surveillance cannot replace police work on site,” said Darmann, who sees the current security problems through the clearing of the executive and the simultaneous unchecked mass immigration. “Our security problem is homemade! The FPÖ calls for more police, zero immigration and the long-decreasing resignation of ÖVP Interior Minister Karner, who caused this misery with his clumsy show policy,” said Darmann.
