Norway is the same for the record. There was a local case recently where the police knocked down an innocent man on the street, handcuffed him, and charged him with assaulting a police officer. There were something like 30 eye witnesses, still he lost in court, police clearly giving false testimony. Luckily he did win the appeal.
- jacobush 9y ago"Luckily he did win the appeal." ... so system is not broken? Edit: I misunderstood. I thought the officers were punished. Sorry.
- bionoid 9y agoThey knocked him down on the street, arrested him, charged him, dragged him through two years of trials. After winning the appeal, the chief of police mocked him openly and called him a liar. There was ZERO repercussions for any of the involved officers. That's not broken? edit: and you could look up the historical cases like Tonny Askevold. Charges of first-degree murder was dropped. The police can and will do whatever the fuck they want.
- staticelf 9y agoThe difference is that in Sweden the police doesn't do anything. Even if you give them a lot of evidence they drop the cases all the time. I have personal experience of this.
- digi_owl 9y ago"Henlagt grunnet bevisets stilling" (effectively claiming that the case will not be investigated due to lack of evidence) have become a running joke in Norway.
