German police raided a couple of poeple's homes who've purchased the android RAT tool DroidJack. They justified the searches with the claim Droidjack is an offense-only tool which has no dual use (which is nonsense) and that by purchasing it the user is therefore already a criminal (nonsense as well). Beside this claim they didn't provide any further evidence, like if the person has indeed used the software against someone. The searches are therefore probably unlawful. However if the scheme persists before the courts then it may be illegal to buy/own/use "hacker software" in germany. And since judges usually don't have any clue, the prosecution can tell them whatever they please and will be able to convict basically everyone in the security industry at will.
