Azor...you reflect much of what many do not fully understand about German law which is built on the principle of personal privacy/personal rights..actually head and shoulders above what Americans claim is a civil right and only American can/is providing those rights...due to that famous individual Hitler.... his SD and Gestapo........
Even in serious espionage cases they are held to a strict standard of 180 days...and yes that even includes non Germans as the case they are driving must survive a court trial for any civilian..........that is why they refrain from surveillance until they have a firm idea of what they will see and or find...
In the case of this attacker....they backed off from arresting him which they could have in theory done as a preventive measure but then his rights would have been violated because the Federal prosecutor would have had no case to present to the court.....in the US they would have simply arrested him....held him and then try to find evidence to charge him....here no one can be in fact charged unless there is solid evidence linking him or her to a specific criminal charge...again thank Hitler...when he is picked up the clock starts ticking for the prosecutor....
Again this whole attack does not make sense.....he is filmed on a surveillance camera of being in front of a known Salafist mosques several hours after the attack but approaching no one...he is then filmed again EIGTH full hours after the attack ACTUALLY at the attack site.....thus indicating he has not fled Berlin and that is a fatal mistake on his part....as the 100K reward is bringing info hourly....THAT has never been done in any previous IS attack....return to the scene....and he has released nor statement or video...all Paris attacks had prerecorded attacker statements released after the attacks...
Again his family is appealing to him stating you have brought shame on the entire family and Tunisia and indicating that if he committed the attack he alone must pay........
You see the Salafist world in Berlin being totally quiet and not uttering a word out of fear of being associated to him instead of cheering him as a IS fighter as did IS.... you
As I previously indicated the German security services know their bad apples as the arrest yesterday of two brothers that in fact were planning a Mall attack...the arrest of four in a Berlin apartment which the government has not said a single word on........
My complaint is the countless comments coming from US..UK interviews claiming that the Germans "failed on this and or that" or he slipped through the cracks etc.....all the while not fully understanding the legal ramifications the Germans jump through to ensure the "rule of law".....and these comments coming from US and UK sources all the while both US/UK claiming to be the epicenters of the rule of law....
While it is great to hear for the masses..."if he was so bad then why did they stop surveillance" ...without understanding what it takes to conduct manpower wise such a surveillance and with 550 known and identified bad apples that would require 14-15,000 surveillance personal and not even the US has that many...NOR does the US "know and track their own bad apples" as the repeated US homegrown attacks have shown us......
No one seems to mention that simple fact......
WHAT CrowBat mentioned to you recently....the German ability to raid in 200 locations at the exact same time when they forbid the Islamic religious group shows their ability to act in the face of "religious freedom" and protecting this civil society rule of law rights....has not been matched even by the US and UK...
