Hemliga tvångsmedel

Secret coercive measures (hemliga tvångsmedel) are wiretapping and surveillance that require legal support and, as a rule, a court decision. They can be used by law enforcement agencies, but only under special conditions and within the limits set by law. The requirement of a court decision exists to weigh the need to investigate crime against the protection of personal privacy.
