Permit Review, Notification Obligation, and Privacy Protection

The plan states that all people have the right to protection of their personal integrity, that the courts should be independent and that legal security is maintained through transparency and independent oversight. The election manifesto furthermore points out that young people with foreign backgrounds are subjected to racism from the police, which makes risk analyses against discrimination central. The plan therefore supports the counter-proposal's demands for court review, public ombudsman, expanded reporting obligations and mandatory risk analyses.

• protection of personal integritydecisive»har rätt till skydd av sin personliga integritet.« (party programme ↗)“have the right to protection of their personal integrity.”
• independent courts»Samhället behöver ett väl fungerande rättsväsende, med självständiga« (party programme ↗)“Society needs a well-functioning justice system, with independent”
• against discriminatory policing»Många unga, särskilt med utländsk bakgrund, som bor i fattiga områden, utsätts även för rasism och övervåld från polisen« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Many young people, especially those with foreign backgrounds, who live in poor areas, are also subjected to racism and police brutality”
• legal security and oversight»Rättssäkerheten behöver upprätthållas genom rättshjälp, medborgerlig« (party programme ↗)“Legal security needs to be maintained through legal aid, civil”

The plan requires protection for personal integrity and that principles of the rule of law are protected when challenged, while racism and structural discrimination shall be systematically combated. Court proceedings with public counsel, notification obligation even in preventive use and recurring risk analyses against discrimination are exactly such guarantees and do not restrict crime fighting tools in substance. The plan also requires democratic rules for artificial intelligence.

• principles of the rule of law»Slå vakt om rättsstatens principer.« (party programme ↗)“Guard the principles of the rule of law.”
• combated structural discrimination»Den vill systematiskt motarbeta rasism och annan strukturell diskriminering« (party programme ↗)“wants to systematically combat racism and other structural discrimination”

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 plan requires that risks be managed when powerful technologies such as AI are established, that court independence be safeguarded and that new legislation be carefully examined based on legal certainty and fundamental freedoms and rights. Court review with a public ombudsman, right of appeal, prohibition on sharing data with private providers and recurring risk analyses for discrimination are expressions of precisely these requirements. The counter-proposal thus aligns with the plan.

• risk management for new technologydecisive»När nya kraftfulla tekniker etableras måste de risker som finns hanteras.« (party programme ↗)“When powerful new technologies are established, the risks that exist must be managed.”
• independent court review»Domstolarnas oberoende ska värnas« (party programme ↗)“Court independence shall be safeguarded”
• legal certainty review of legislation»prövas noggrant utifrån rättssäkerhet och grundläggande fri- och rättigheter.« (party programme ↗)“carefully examined based on legal certainty and fundamental freedoms and rights.”
• protection against discrimination»stärka lagstiftningen mot diskriminering och se över rätten till rättshjälp i diskrimineringsfall.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“strengthen legislation against discrimination and review the right to legal aid in discrimination cases.”

The plan explicitly says no to preventive surveillance and requires that the rule of law and the individual's rights against the state be defended, with strong privacy protection as an indispensable part of democracy. The counter-proposal's requirements for court review with a public counsel, expanded duty of disclosure, prohibition against sharing information with private suppliers and recurring risk analyses against mass surveillance follow from these commitments. This particular technology is not addressed in the plan, which is why the conclusion is derived.

• no to preventive surveillancedecisive»Rättsstaten och individens rättigheter gentemot staten måste försvaras. Vi säger därför nej till visitationszoner, kollektiv bestraffning, omvänd bevisbörda, anonyma vittnen, preventiv avlyssning och inskränkningar av religionsfriheten.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The rule of law and the individual's rights against the state must be defended. We therefore say no to search zones, collective punishment, reversed burden of proof, anonymous witnesses, preventive surveillance and restrictions on religious freedom.”
• strong privacy protection»Ett starkt integritetsskydd är därför en omistlig del av ett öppet och demokratiskt samhälle.« (party programme ↗)“Strong privacy protection is therefore an indispensable part of an open and democratic society.”

• court review and counsel»Alla som bor i Sverige ska kunna få sin sak prövad. Ledtiderna för handläggning och myndighetsutövning i domstolar och myndigheter måste kortas och tillgången till ombud förbättras.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Everyone who lives in Sweden should be able to have their case reviewed. Processing times for handling and authority operations in courts and authorities must be shortened and access to counsel improved.”

The plan requires that protection for the individual's integrity be strengthened, that integrity-invasive measures are only justified when an opposing interest weighs clearly more heavily, and that such laws be regularly evaluated. The plan also presupposes court decision when secret coercive measures are used against gang members. The counter-proposal's requirements for court review, notification and recurring risk analyses lie in line with this, as does the requirement for purpose limitation.

• strengthened integrity protectiondecisive»Skyddet för den enskildes integritet ska stärkas. Åtgärder som påverkar den personliga integriteten negativt är endast berättigade om ett motstående intresse väger uppenbart tyngre och åtgärden är effektiv.« (party programme ↗)“Protection for the individual's integrity shall be strengthened. Measures that negatively affect personal integrity are only justified if an opposing interest weighs clearly more heavily and the measure is effective.”
• purpose limitation»Övervakning och registrering ska inte användas för andra syften än vad som var de ursprungliga motiven eller vad som var känt för den individ som lämnade uppgifterna.« (party programme ↗)“Surveillance and recording shall not be used for purposes other than what were the original reasons or what was known to the individual who provided the information.”
• regular evaluation»Redan införda lagar med stark påverkan på den personliga integriteten ska regelbundet utvärderas.« (party programme ↗)“Already enacted laws with strong impact on personal integrity shall be regularly evaluated.”
• court decision for coercive measures»Avlyssning och andra hemliga tvångsmedel ska kunna användas både vid misstanke om fler brott än i dag och efter domstolsbeslut mot organiserade gängmedlemmar även utan konkret brottsmisstanke.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Wiretapping and other secret coercive measures shall be able to be used both when suspecting more crimes than today and after court decision against organized gang members even without concrete suspicion of crime.”

The party programme requires that personal integrity has strong constitutional protection and that the public applies great caution in handling personal data, and that police powers are clearly limited. The counter-proposal does not abolish the tool but tightens permission testing, notification and risk analyses. It thus lies close to the plan, although the plan simultaneously wants effective crime prevention.

• strong integrity protectiondecisive»Den personliga integriteten ska ha ett starkt grundlagsskydd och det offentliga måste tillämpa stor försiktighet och respekt för den personliga integriteten vid hantering av personuppgifter.« (party programme ↗)“Personal integrity shall have strong constitutional protection and the public must apply great caution and respect for personal integrity in handling personal data.”
• clearly defined powers»Det europeiska polissamarbetet ska vara väl utvecklat samtidigt som dess befogenheter ska vara tydligt avgränsade, och skyddet för den personliga integriteten värnas.« (party programme ↗)“European police cooperation shall be well developed while its powers shall be clearly limited, and protection for personal integrity shall be protected.”
• strong court review»Domstolarnas ställning ska vara stark och självständig.« (party programme ↗)“The position of the courts shall be strong and independent.”
• effective crime prevention and integrity»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.”

The plan wants to significantly increase the number of surveillance cameras and give police better technical tools, since far too few serious crimes are solved. The counter-proposal's demand for court review in each individual case, expanded notification requirements and mandatory risk analyses would circumscribe the tool so tightly that it counteracts the efficiency the plan seeks. The plan does value personal integrity, but sees freedom and security as two sides of the same coin.

• expanded camera surveillancedecisive»Kraftigt öka antalet övervakningskameror« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Significantly increase the number of surveillance cameras”
• better police equipment»Satsa på polisens utrustning, exempelvis kroppskameror men också vattenkanoner att använda vid exempelvis upplopp« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Invest in police equipment, for example body cameras but also water cannons for use at for example riots”
• expanded police powers»Införa visitationszoner så att Polisen får bättre möjligheter att leta efter vapen« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Introduce stop-and-search zones so the police get better opportunities to search for weapons”
• security as condition for freedom»Frihet och trygghet går hand i hand.« (party programme ↗)“Freedom and security go hand in hand.”

The plan demands that the judicial system receives more powerful surveillance and investigation tools and that procedural obstacles to increased prosecution are removed. The counter-proposal instead wants to build in additional legal security safeguards - court review with public counsel, expanded duty to inform and mandatory risk analyses - which would tighten precisely the tools the plan wants to expand. The plan therefore speaks against the counter-proposal's demands.

• camera monitoring against gangsdecisive»Åtgärder ska vidtas för att bättre kunna kartlägga gängaktiva genom t.ex. underrättelsearbete och informationsinhämtning, spaning, kameraövervakning och avlyssning.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Measures shall be taken to better map gang-active persons through e.g. intelligence work and information gathering, surveillance, camera monitoring and wiretapping.”
• remove procedural obstacles»Processuella hinder för att möjliggöra en ökad lagföring måste också undanröjas.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Procedural obstacles to enable increased prosecution must also be removed.”
• tools against gang crime»Ge rättsväsendet resurser och verktyg för att bekämpa gängen« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Give the judicial system resources and tools to combat gangs”
