A constitutional complaint by the Hessian Pirate Party against the so-called Hessen Trojan failed in Karlsruhe.
The Federal Constitutional Court said on Wednesday that it would not be accepted for decision.
The party's national association and two individual plaintiffs wanted to stop new regulations on online searches and the surveillance of telecommunications.
(Az. 1 BvR 1552/19)
According to the new regulation, the police may, under certain conditions, use software to access hard drives and monitor telephone calls over the Internet.
The complainants saw this as a violation of their basic right to guarantee the confidentiality and integrity of information technology systems.
They criticized the insufficient handling of possible security gaps.
However, the Federal Constitutional Court dismissed her complaint as inadmissible.
A possible violation of the legislature's duty to protect had not been adequately demonstrated, it decided.
The plaintiffs did not state that they themselves were directly affected by the regulation.
Your constitutional complaint has no fundamental constitutional significance and no reasonable chance of success.
