The limited capacity of state officials leads to a gradual decriminalization of micro-offences. This project presents a series of speculative objects that allow citizens to easily penalize such offenses and to deliver the culprit to justice in accordance with the Swiss law. Thus, on the one hand, the project questions whether we want to live in a society where even minor transgressions are punished, and on the other hand, it questions who should be doing the policing. «Amt für Kleinstdelikte» is the Bachelor graduation project at the Zurich University of the Arts realised by Jannic Mascello and Martin Dušek under the supervision of Dr. phil. Björn Franke and Clemens Winkler. In addition to the final result, which manifests itself in a 4-minute video and shows the self-policing tools, a detailed project documentation was written, in which the design process including the research phase is described in detail.
