Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the complainant had standing to appeal to the Federal Supreme Court under Art. 81 para. 1 let. b ch. 5 LTF.
Decisione estratta
She lacked standing because she could not assert civil claims against the police officer, as public-law liability of the Canton excluded direct action against the individual officer.
Motivazione estratta
The Court held that when a public authority bears exclusive liability for officials' unlawful acts, the complainant has no civil claims against the alleged offender and therefore no appeal standing on the merits.
