Data collection against rocker crime


"Operation Monitor" at the end of the 1990s, launched joint strategy of EU Member States, Europol and Interpol calls to been considered a criminal biker groups. The goal: "To get a picture of the drug crimes that can be linked to the criminal motorcycle gangs in conjunction," as in a preliminary Europol report is about the surgery. The paper allows an interesting insight into the collaboration between European countries in Europol and its data handling.

The monitor is a delicate operation in at least two respects, she obviously has an impact on the practice of German authorities against rocker groups. Here it seems to have been trying to circumvent data protection regulations. Moreover, a random check of the sources used contradictions and significant gaps in the data collected, which also raises questions regarding the procedures of the authorities. Europol shall now probably knows private circumstances of members of the Hells Angels and Bandidos, is in criminal analysis in terms of drug offenses but not a lot of rockers came on.
