German police have been doing this for some time already with anti-nazi protesters: https://www.eff.org/issues/mandatory-data-retention/germany (search for dresden)

And in a case of luxury car arsons: http://www.businessinsider.com/berlin-arson-cell-phones-2012...

So the only new thing here is that the protesters got notified.

Anti-Nazi protestors? Or Nazi protestors? I'm confused by this, it was my impressing that being a nazi (neo-nazi) sympathizer in Germany was illegal in the first place. Seems like a weird group to be angry about if they are Anti-Nazi protestors as the page claims.

Is that incorrect?

Anti-Nazi.

There's some light(?) political right bias in some parts of the German police.

I'm not saying that german cops generally are nazi sympathisers but you're more likely to meet a right leaning cop than a leftist one.
