FINALDescription
A police officer had accessed data in a police database for private research purposes. The police officer queried the investigation process of a friend against the background of a judicial hearing. Via WhatsApp, he shared what information he had become aware of through his unauthorized retrievals. For this reason, the DPA of Brandenburg imposed a fine for a violation of § 32 (1) BbgDSG. The Brandenburg Data Protection Act (BbgDSG) sets out the supplementary regulations necessary to adapt the GDPR.
