Virtually no 'dangerous' German Islamists wearing electronic ankle bracelets

German security forces have largely chosen not to take advantage of a new law allowing them to track potential terrorists with ankle bracelets. Police unions say the tags aren’t an effective means of surveillance.

Only two out of 705 people classified by the German security forces as Islamist threats are currently wearing an ankle tag, despite a law introduced in June in the wake of the Berlin Christmas market attack in December 2016.

The figures, published this week by the Süddeutsche Zeitung (SZ) and confirmed by the Interior Ministry, also showed there were 428 people in the “Islamist spectrum,” but considered less dangerous.

A spokeswoman for the German Federal Police (BKA) said since the advent of the new law — much trumpeted in January by Interior Minister Thomas de Maizière and Justice Minister Heiko Maas in the wake of the Christmas attack — they had not filed for a single ankle tag for a potentially dangerous Islamist. […]

Oliver Malchow, chairman of the police union GdP, said there was little enthusiasm for the measure among German police. Police officers see ankle tags as a useful tool for tracking sex offenders, he said, because they were barred from straying into certain areas, such as near schools or kindergartens, which would set off an alarm. …

"...ankle bracelet..."


At least when the bomb detonates, the charred ankle bracelet will help authorities determine who strapped explosives to themselves.

How do the Poles handle their dangerous Jihadist problem?

The Poles are generally a strong Christian society with a strong pride in their sovereign country...a hell of a lot smarter than the other EU countries by refusing to be taken over by swarms of Jihadist mooselims...

Yeah because by golly after they commit crimes- the tracking device leading them to the criminal’s hide out position ‘isn’t effective’

Because apparently german police enjoy running around not finding perpetrators- They also must enjoy being seen as keystone cops-

The 1986 Amnesty bill that Reagan signed had a lot of very tough provisions...doesn’t do any good if the future governments have no intent to ENFORCE THE LAW.

Really stupid. They really think that an ankle bracelet is going to help prevent murder/rape/bombings. The subhuman operates on the irrational belief that by killing human beings it will receive wonderful rewards in the afterlife. The bracelet means nothing to the vermin. Neither does prison or a fine.

The only solution is to keep the nematodes far from civilization.
