Finland's Ministry of the Interior proposes new law giving police enhanced powers for threat-based crime investigations, allowing data collection without specific criminal suspicion.
The Ministry of the Interior in Finland has initiated a consultation round for a legislative proposal that aims to provide police with expanded authority for conducting threat-based investigations. This new law would enable police to gather information about various threats even before any concrete suspicion of a crime exists. The current regulations are seen as inadequate due to their narrow focus on preventing specific criminal acts, which has emerged as a limitation in light of evolving crime patterns.
