When you step into a Hessen cafe, bakery, or restaurant....there is this administrative detail that you have to accomplish....filling out the form for the Corona ban requirement. Date, time, name, phone number, address and e-mail.
The business is required to keep this for x-number of days. If a Covid infection report comes up.....you have to provide the data to the health authorities (if requested).
So it came out recently....that the police can show up and ask for the listing (on such-and-such day or time), and you (the cafe owner) have to provide it.
Legal? HR (public TV in Hessen) picked up this topic.
The state data protection officer says this is a general problem, and kinda hints that it was built as a health 'tool'.
To be used only in a serious crime situation (murder, robbery)? Well, that has been said but one might question where this will eventually end.
The fact that you could provide a fake name, fake address, etc? No one can demand an ID when you sit down.....it's all done in the expectation of you being honest.
An end point on the paperwork requirement? No one has ever said where this record requirement will end. I wouldn't expect it to end in 2020 or 2021.
