POLAS query on an online seller for private purposes
The police officer bought a laptop online and then tried to change the payment method, without success. As a result, he queried information of the seller in the police information system POLAS to send him more messages. In these messages, the police officer gave the date of birth, place of birth, as well as his current and former residential address of the person concerned. This was done to get the seller to change the payment method after all. Instead of changing the method of payment, the victim reported the police officer.
