Key legal question
Whether the complainant had standing to challenge the dismissal as an injured victim with civil claims
Extracted holding
He qualified as a victim, but he lacked extended standing because he had no civil claim against the officer, only a public-law claim against the canton.
Extracted reasoning
The court held that a criminal-law victim may only invoke the merits where the impugned decision affects civil claims; claims for state liability against the canton are not civil claims within the meaning of the victim-help provisions.
