> dream scenario of a new location registry of every move of the population Not only politicians, I assume entities like Rundfunkbeitrag, Schufa, conuntless Inkasso will pay fortune to access such data. > Very low corruption at the lower level of society [...] Incredible high amount of corruption and incompetence in the higher spheres This is incredibly shocking for an newcomer to Germany. One swiftly hits the ceiling of 3-4k EUR net monthly and mortgage of 400-600k EUR with nowhere else to go, while watching enormous amounts of money being shuffled, fortunes hidden in idyllic villages, faceless dynasties owning chunks of industries, >1mln EUR apartments being purchased.

> Rundfunkbeitrag They already get your location (edit: I mean address here) when you register to the local administration (Anmeldebescheinigung).

  Address != location. My address is no secret, where I was last friday night (and tuesday morning) is.

    Sure, but the Rundfunkbeitrag has no need for your current location, they just need to know which apartment you're registered at.

      If they decide that you don't pay the license fee (doesn't matter if you really do), your live location will be beyond useful. They absolutely have the budget to implement the most invasive and abusive debt collection solution.

        if they wanted to do that they'd probably have found another solution already through google's data at the very least. Probably apple/FB as well. Plus cell phone service providers. I don't know why this new thing is your choice of how they'd get the data other than it being probably run as effectively as parler (edit: no data - gut feeling).

  They somehow get this before Anmeldung, I lived in my apartment for 2 years before officially registering and received Rundfunkbeitrag letters + frivoulous copyright infringement notices (from a previous apartment).

Copyright bullies, debt collection predators, religious lunatics.
