Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the appellant had standing to challenge the discontinuance/non-opening of the criminal case
Extrahierter Entscheid
He lacked standing on the merits because he was not entitled to assert civil claims against the police officers and was not otherwise a victim with relevant civil standing.
Extrahierte Begründung
The Court held that the appellant could not invoke Art. 81(1)(b)(5) BGG: under Valais liability rules the canton bears exclusive liability for official misconduct, so no civil claims against the officers existed. As a non-victim in the relevant sense, he could not contest the substantive dismissal.
