Jale Poljarevius, an intelligence chief at the police in the Mitt region, sees the new law as an interesting tool in the fight against criminal networks. Previously, we have had to have concrete suspicions, now we will have a much lower level of suspicion. The two coercive measures that may be relevant include cell phone interception, reading secret data traffic, gathering people’s positions, as well as camera surveillance and room listening. Poljarevius emphasizes that interceptions will still be decided by the court. If we get the right hit, this can be very, very good, I think. ”Long step” Fredrik Sjöshult, a crime columnist at Expressen, is positive about the change in the law and emphasizes that it will not be done just like that. There must be a suspicion of a crime and a person who is suspected of being involved says he in SVT’s Morning Studio. Dennis Martinsson, a lecturer in criminal law, however, thinks that it is a too far-reaching measure. Preventive measures have so far only been able to be used for very serious crime, such as terrorism and others. But now they transfer the tools to someone who is loosely connected to a group and may be planning a crime. That is a pretty big step.
