In a shattering act, a Shishabar and a arcade in Baden-Württemberg were robbed last weekend. The police assume a clear connection between the two raids. The attackers, vested in dark clothes and masks, entered the bars around midnight and asked for money and valuable items.
In the attack on the Shishabar, four perpetrators were involved, which according to wnoz.de collected. The attackers left a variety of people, including some young people, shocked and frightened.
A short time later, the same perpetrators stormed the neighboring arcade. Here, too, the attack was similarly brutal. The attackers pulled their weapons again and asked for money. According to witness reports, the business was full of people, which made the situation dangerous.Investigations run at full speed
The police immediately started investigations and asks for information from the population. The officials are aware of the danger of the situation and have therefore created an overview of possible perpetrators. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of surveillance cameras. The investigators hope to receive important information about the perpetrators in order to grasp the attackers quickly.
The shock waves sent by these attacks in the community are obvious. Local residents and regular visitors to the bars are concerned and speak of a feeling of uncertainty that was laid over the neighborhood. Some demanded stronger controls in the area and more intensive protection for the business involved.
relevant legal situation on the Internet
While the focus is initially on the robbery, there are currently discussions about dealing with personal data on the Internet. In particular, the specificity of the cookie regulations and its legal foundations have become increasingly relevant in recent years. The TDDDG, which came into force on December 1, 2021, regulates access to data on end devices, especially with regard to cookies. Cookies are small data storage facilities that are managed in the user's end device and potentially contain personal information.
An important point is the stipulation that storage or access to cookies is only permitted with the user's consent, but technically necessary cookies are except. This regulation based on the Eprivacy Directive has led to uncertainties in the past and had to be defined more clearly by the TTDSG. The BGH notes that cookies can be viewed as personal data, which is a challenge for many companies.
The legal framework also includes clear requirements for cookie banners that must include corresponding information and options for consent. Violations of these regulations can result in considerable fines, which underlines the importance of correct implementation. The state data protection authorities are commissioned to enforce the TDDDG, and there have already been the first convictions for illegal cookie banners.
The increased efforts to ensure security on the Internet and the protection of personal data underline the need to determine both real and digital attacks. The combination of current raids and the provisions on cookie guidelines could not be more different, but illustrates how complex the topic is today.
