The Federal Administrative Court (BVerwG) granted the appellant leave to appeal on the ground that the case holds fundamental legal significance, thereby allowing the proceeding to progress to a full substantive review by the 6th Senate. The dispute concerns whether the act of photographing a member of the special forces (GSG 9) constitutes a specific interference with the individual's general right to personality, challenging the adequacy of privacy protections for identifiable security personnel in public. The decisive legal basis involves the interpretation of the general right to personality under constitutional law and the procedural standards for admitting revision under § 132 Abs. 2 Nr. 1 VwGO, specifically focusing on the lack of sufficient existing case law clarification regarding the threshold for intrusive recording of state agents.

Fotografieren eines SEK-Beamten

[GRUENDE]

1. Die Revision ist gemäß § 132 Abs. 2 Nr. 1 VwGO wegen grundsätzlicher Bedeutung der Rechtssache zuzulassen. Das angestrebte Revisionsverfahren kann zur Beantwortung der bisher in der Rechtsprechung des Bundesverwaltungsgerichts nicht ausreichend geklärten Frage beitragen, ob bereits das Fotografieren einen speziellen Eingriff in das allgemeine Persönlichkeitsrecht eines SEK-Beamten darstellt.

2. Die Streitwertfestsetzung für das Beschwerdeverfahren folgt aus § 47 Abs. 1 und Abs. 3, § 52 Abs. 2 GKG i.V.m. § 5 ZPO; die vorläufige Streitwertfestsetzung für das Revisionsverfahren beruht auf § 47 Abs. 1, § 52 Abs. 2 GKG i.V.m. § 5 ZPO und § 63 Abs. 1 Satz 1 GKG.
