For some time now, misconduct by police is discussed increasingly in Germany. The spectrum ranges from violent police actions at meetings (Stuttgart21, Blockupy) including illegal checks and inspections based on racist criteria (racial profiling) to physical attacks on persons during everyday police checks. In response to these cases, for example, the state of Berlin has introduced compulsory individual labelling of police officers so that those concerned can take legal action against individual police actions. This focus on individual misconduct causes that the perspective on a more fundamental criticism of the police are lost out of sight. Does it not cause a problem to democratically organized societies when a state apparatus holds the exclusive violence monopoly? Do the police follow only the requirements of the legislator or do they also pursue own interests in their work? The contribution attempts to approach these questions from the perspective of political theory. It will fathom to what extent the police act as an independent political actor, who becomes independent again and again from its parent act. Three astounding examples of the current debate concerning policing strategies are highlighted to explain this specific autonomisation of the police: the ‘danger-areas’ in Hamburg, police strategies against the Blockupy protests, as well as police treatment of football fans.
