Minister of Security and Justice, Ivo
Opstelten (Liberals) said that the number of cyber crimes is increasing and the
ability of the police to deal with it is insufficient. He added that criminals
can relatively easily wipe out their digital traces. Therefore he wants the
police to break into computers from a distance and if necessary, place software
inside. Ot van Daalen, Director of Bits of Freedom, which has as a goal the
protection of digital civil rights has said that this is a shocking plan. He
explained this by saying that in this way, the police get an interest to keep
the Dutch infrastructure vulnerable. That leads to a situation where Dutch
computers also become vulnerable for others including from abroad.
