Federal trojan horse

(Apologies for non-Lisp content.)

German police is going to install surveillance software on suspects' computers.

They are going to install it online through the Internet without anyone noticing, and of course they will do it without exploiting security vulnerabilities. Here is what the president of the Federal Criminal Police Office has to say about it (in german):

taz: How will the "Online-Search" of a computer work technically then?

Ziercke: Naturally I cannot discuss that publically.

Surely once they do this once, it will be identified as malware and antivirus software will catch it?

If you ever made a report at the police, you know how highly professional these guys are.
