An anonymous reader writes "Bavarian Parliament passed a law that allows bavarian police to use "Remote Forensic Software" on a suspect's computer as well as on the computer of a suspect's contacts. They may break into houses in secret to install the RFS if a remote installation is not possible and while they are there a (physical) search is permitted too. The RFS may be used to read, delete and alter data.
