Critics of the "Gefährder" preventive measures argue that labeling individuals without concrete evidence infringes upon fundamental rights, including the presumption of innocence. They express concern that such practices could lead to unwarranted surveillance and restrictions on personal freedoms. The lack of a clear legal definition for "Gefährder" further exacerbates these concerns, as it may result in arbitrary or discriminatory application of preventive actions. This perspective calls for a reevaluation of such measures to ensure they do not compromise individual liberties.
