Belgian Privacy Commission: Door-to-Door Searches Violate Privacy
The Belgian privacy commission has ruled that Antwerp's door-to-door inspections in troublesome city districts are illegal. The commission has advised the Antwerp City Council to thoroughly re-examine the project 'X-Stra', which is designed to cut crime and improve city living conditions. In response, Public Safety Alderman Dirk Grootjans said he would study the commission's advice, but warned the city would nevertheless start the door-to-door searches in September.
