The Road Traffic Register

The party programme establishes that a deepened democracy means that personal integrity is valued, that all have the right to a broad private sphere and that growing surveillance and registration shall be countered. Allowing vulnerable professional groups to hide their data and requiring identification for disclosures from the vehicle register limits precisely such uncontrolled spread of personal information. The counter-proposal's demands thereby point in the plan's direction.

The plan takes no explicit position on what the committee actually decided — often because the committee's reason was procedural. The stance is derived and fully cited, but it does not show the party broke a commitment.

The party programme states that it is society's absolute duty to protect freedom and personal integrity, and explicitly warns against profiling of individuals and attempts to intimidate individual persons, journalists and politicians into silence. The counter-proposal's requirement for locked registration numbers for exposed occupational groups and identity requirements when obtaining vehicle data is an application of this, and the election manifesto further wants to tackle theft gangs. The plan therefore supports the requirement.

The party programme wants to protect people's right to privacy and private life against both state and commercial actors and requires that policy protect the possibility to protect one's privacy. Locked registration numbers and identification requirements to retrieve vehicle information protect threatened persons from surveillance. The plan's requirement to protect the principle of public access, however, limits how far secrecy can go.

• right to privacydecisive»Vi vill värna människors rätt till integritet och privatliv. I dag är den rätten hotad av både statliga och kommersiella aktörer.« (party programme ↗)“We want to protect people's right to privacy and private life. Today that right is threatened by both state and commercial actors.”

The plan requires that protection be strengthened for people subjected to threats and harassment in their professional activities and that protection for families with protected identity be improved. Allowing vulnerable professional groups to hide their details in the vehicle registry and requiring identification when collecting is a means for that, and aligns with the plan's requirement for strong integrity protection. The design of the registry fee is not addressed by the plan.

Vi ska stärka skyddet för personer verksamma bland annat i media, religiösa samfund och offentlig förvaltning.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Hate, threats, harassment and violence directed at democratic institutions must cease.

The plan requires that protection for the individual's privacy be strengthened and that surveillance and registration not be used for purposes other than the original. A public vehicle register used to map vulnerable professions and point out desirable-to-steal vehicles is precisely such drift in purpose. The plan moreover wants to limit publishing permits for search services and protect public employees against persecution.

The party programme establishes that intrusion into the protected sphere every person should be guaranteed violates personal integrity, and that the rule of law shall provide security for personal integrity and property. Locked registration numbers for vulnerable occupational groups and identification requirements when retrieving vehicle information protect precisely this against threats and theft. The public disclosure principle points in the other direction but applies to public records broadly, not the protection of threatened individuals.

• protection of personal integritydecisive»Intrång i den fredade sfär som varje person bör vara garanterad innebär att den personliga integriteten kränks.« (party programme ↗)“Intrusion into the protected sphere that every person should be guaranteed means that personal integrity is violated.”
• security for person and property»Tilltron till rättssamhället bygger på att människorna kan förlita sig på att en effektiv brottsbekämpning och en fri och oberoende rättskipning ger trygghet för personlig integritet och egendom.« (party programme ↗)“Trust in the rule of law is built on people being able to rely on effective crime prevention and free and independent administration of justice providing security for personal integrity and property.”
• restrictive secrecy»Offentlighetsprincipen, det vill säga tillgången till allmänna handlingar, är central för en öppen och vital demokrati. Sekretessmöjligheten ska nyttjas restriktivt.« (party programme ↗)“The public disclosure principle, that is access to public records, is central to an open and vital democracy. Secrecy measures shall be used restrictively.”

The plan particularly highlights that Sweden has been hard hit by theft gangs that steal cars and car parts, and wants to strengthen protection for those threatened in their profession. The programme's principle is that personal integrity shall be safeguarded both against intrusions into privacy and against the violations that crimes constitute. To restrict general access to vehicle information for vulnerable groups therefore aligns with the plan.

• stop the theft gangsdecisive»Sverige har samtidigt blivit hårt drabbat av utländska stöldligor – som plockar på sig bilar, bildelar, båtmotorer och dyra föremål och för dem ut ur landet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Sweden has at the same time been hit hard by foreign theft gangs – who steal cars, car parts, boat engines and expensive items and move them out of the country.”
• safeguarded personal integrity»Den personliga integriteten ska värnas, såväl från intrång i privatlivets helgd som från de kränkningar som våld och andra brott kan utgöra.« (party programme ↗)“Personal integrity shall be safeguarded, both against intrusions into privacy and against the violations that violence and other crimes can constitute.”
• protection against threats at work»Stärka det straffrättsliga skyddet för journalister, i syfte att värna tryck- och yttrandefriheten, motverka hot, våld och andra olagliga angrepp mot journalister och medieredaktioner« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Strengthen criminal protection for journalists, in order to safeguard freedom of the press and freedom of expression, counter threats, violence and other illegal attacks against journalists and media offices”

The plan requires strengthened protection against threats, harassment and violence for police and their families and notes that hunters and farmers are subjected to death threats and material destruction. The counter-proposal's demand for locked registration numbers for vulnerable occupational groups and credential requirements for retrieving vehicle information is a measure of the same kind. The plan thus supports the demand.

• protection for vulnerable occupational groupsdecisive»Skapa trygghet och säkerhet för poliser och deras familjer« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Create security and safety for police and their families”
• protection against threats and harassment»Polisers trygghet måste också förbättras genom stärkt skydd mot hot, trakasserier och våld.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Police security must also be improved through strengthened protection against threats, harassment and violence.”
• protection for threatened business owners»Ett ökande problem är dessutom att jägare och lantbrukare utsätts för brott av individer och organisationer som ställer sig över lagen.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“An increasing problem is also that hunters and farmers are subjected to crimes by individuals and organizations who place themselves above the law.”
