"Grosser Lauschangriff" (Massive Bug Attack)

protest campaign design for a German group of jurists, computer drawing

When a new bill came before the German parliament aiming to give the security forces more powers of surveillance, including the right to bug lawyers' offices, it caused considerable concern in many circles.

Opponents to the legislation considered it crossed the line between acceptable law and order measures and the civil rights of citizens.

Arbeitskreis kritische Jurstisten (Working Group for Critical Jurists) were amongst those who protested against this law and this satirical poster design was part of their campaign.
