The state government of Hessen has spent a ton of time (man-hours) reviewing police in the Frankfurt area and their social messaging. The initial hopes? Well....they felt they'd caught a whole bunch of the folks (men and women) engaging in right-wing activity.
So, all total....10,000 chats were examined (more or less).
Page by page.
What the Interior Minister of the state admitted today.....there were three messages that were within the view of the law as a 'problem', or in violation of German/Hessen law.
Three? Yes, three.
On a separate investigation....on a different message of sorts....9,000 messages had been examined....with 24 of them being a problem.
The bad boys? It's a group of roughly 50 police (some federal, some state) who are in the situation.
At this point, he kinda admitted that a couple of the bad boys can't really be dealt with....because the chats were that old, and the state couldn't use the material because of the age.
So if you standing there, you'd be amazed at the amount of man-hours poured into this, and then realize.....there's really not much there except a whole lot of chatting (Twitter, Facebook, etc) which doesn't doesn't say much or do much.....illegal.
I would imagine some just commented back to a subject started by some guy....with 'LMAO', a happy face, or a Emjoi. Even if the start-up topic was a discussion over some nutcase guy.....responding with a Emjoi probably can't get you any real bad-boy identifiers.
An amazing waste of front-page news? Oh yeah. That's the comical side of this. HR (our regional public TV folks)....probably had twenty to thirty 'headliner' situations and interviews which were laying out all the bad stuff to come. Then? Kinda like arriving at a big party to find there is no booze, no food, and no music.
I sat and watched N-TV this afternoon cover the report, and just sat there amused over this whole thing. Tons of time you could have spent on mafia or crime clans in the area, and this became some regional 'dump' on the police.
