Search of premises for child pornography (§ 184b StGB)
A search for an allegation under § 184b StGB is an exceptional situation with significant consequences. It is important to stay calm, have the search warrant examined and make no statement on the matter.
Your rights during the search
You must tolerate the search but need not speak and should sign nothing. A record must be made of seized devices; the review of data carriers is subject to § 110 StPO. You may object to a seizure.
Why immediate defence is decisive
For this allegation, the technical evaluation of the data, questions of intent and possession, and possible procedural errors are central. We examine the lawfulness of the measure and obtain file access. See our search emergency help.
