The SVP wants to force through a popular initiative that in police reports is always specified whether the offender and the victim have a migration background. Trigger a new rule of the Zurich city police, waived for two years on information on nationality and appropriate information on demand is known.

The competent Commission of the Zurich Kantonsrats argues for a middle ground, like him, the government as a counter-proposal to the SVP Initiative has developed. This provides that the police are age, gender and nationality is known, but not a potential immigrant. This information will not be made if the personality would affect the protection or risk that the Person could be identified as a result.

As the Commission for justice and public security announced today, Friday, have, at the end, even the critics of this solution, persuade, because the initiative had provided to the Committee in view, the Initiative to withdraw, when a counter-proposal in the cantonal Parliament by. The Commission requested the Council’s approval. She was a majority agreement that it is in the public interest to know which state have citizenship of persons suspected to have committed a criminal Offence.

Uniform rules in the entire Canton

The mention of age, gender and nationality is also consistent with the recommendations of the conference of the Cantonal police of Switzerland, commander. With its decision, the Commission was in favour of a single solution for all police corps of the Canton of Zurich, it is said in the message.

The Zurich city police has announced the nationalities currently only on demand, because the city had transferred to the Parliament a corresponding postulate. The reasoning: With the nationalities-naming would suggest, is that a fact, letting the origin to explain. This is the actual causes such as poverty, low education level, or drug-roofs, however, addiction. The cantonal SVP alleged that the city then, you run a “censorship policy”. (hub/sda)
