Bremen's Anti-Discrimination Check Receipts System Underutilized
Bremen has introduced a system for police to issue control receipts during checks, a move pushed by the red-green-red coalition government. The receipts, noting location, time, and reason, aim to prevent discriminatory checks. However, usage remains low, possibly due to lack of awareness among checked persons.
Bremen became the first federal state to implement this system in 2021, granting everyone the right to receive a receipt. The police developed a digital application for on-site issuance. Despite the potential to deter 'racial profiling', the system has been used in only 32 cases so far. Each receipt, therefore, costs around 6,500 euros. The Greens and Left in the coalition government championed this change, though specific details on their role remain unclear. Lack of awareness among checked persons may hinder the system's effectiveness. Over 200,000 euros were spent on mobile printers for patrol units to facilitate receipt issuance.
Bremen's control receipt system, introduced to combat discriminatory checks, has seen limited use. While the Greens and Left pushed for this change, increasing awareness among checked persons could boost the system's effectiveness. The high cost per receipt, currently around 6,500 euros, may warrant further review and promotion of the system.
