Mind you that this option of needing a permit existed before, but it was restricted to be only applicable in special cirumstances; like if the parliament says we are close to needing military defenses of germany. Now it just seems to always be on.

Here is the Frankfurter Rundschau writing about the change but I have seen some people on the interwebs noting the change in early february.

Amongst other things, there does not seem to be a process for the permits yet, and there is no real reason that anyon asking for one would not get it. But in practical political terms, this is fucked up.
