Research focus

Dennis-Kenji Kipker researches IT law with a special focus on data security and state surveillance activities . In his dissertation “Informational Freedom and State Security” he takes up the problem of the regulatory limits of law in the area of ​​technical issues and works out various concepts for the technical regulation of legal issues. He changes the principle of the protection of fundamental rights through procedures into a concept of "protection of fundamental rights through technology design". For the area of ​​police law and body cams , he developed the idea of ​​a trust agency to enable the new surveillance technology to be used in accordance with the constitution. In this context, questions of IT security, for example with regard to encryption techniques , also play a role. In the course of increasing state surveillance activities, Kipker, in a modification of the general rule of law basic idea of equality of arms , drafts the principle of "informational equality of arms" between the security authorities and the citizen, according to which, as far as surveillance technologies are used, these must always be compensated for by appropriate procedural precautions in favor of the citizen Encroach on the fundamental right to informational self-determination in a proportionate manner.

reception

In particular, Kipker publishes in the areas of surveillance activities by the security authorities and IT security . He is also the author of the Bremen "data column" in the Weser-Kurier . Kipker also advises various public and private institutions, such as the Max Planck Society , the Federal Ministry of Finance and the German Society for International Cooperation . Specifically on the subject of body cams and video surveillance, he has issued statements in various countries, such as Hesse, Saarland, Brandenburg, Lower Saxony and the federal government. Lehmann states that scientific literature is still in short supply on this young topic and refers in this connection to the corresponding statements by Kipker. The legal considerations drafted by Kipker are also taken up in the corresponding legislative procedures in other countries, for example in Schleswig-Holstein, Saxony-Anhalt, North Rhine-Westphalia and Baden-Württemberg, where as a result of Kipker's criticism of the inadequate definition of technically usable recording devices For police body cameras in other countries, a more precise legal description of the means of intervention has been introduced in Section 21 (4) PolG BaWü. The trade journal for civil rights and police "CILIP" writes about Kipker's criticism of the body cams: "Although the effects on the interaction between police and citizens during operations are still completely unclear and there are numerous constitutional and data protection concerns, body cams should do so of supporters form a standard instrument in police operations. " The "data protectionists Rhein Main" and the author Weigel make a similar statement, which makes the legal controversy of the body cams particularly clear. Seckelmann states that at least the creation of a data trustee represents a step in the right direction if one wants to maintain the principle of proportionality in the use of body cams by the police.
