Regardless of intent, this does reveal that certain people are protected by warrantless arrests while the general public is not.
- bawolff 4mo agoDid his arrest not have a warrant? I'm not familiar how these things work in Denmark, but is there any reason to believe there was no warrant?
- throwaway27448 4mo agoPresumably if they had one they would have told him the charges, but I am not sure how the danish law works so perhaps my assumption is incorrect.
- bawolff 4mo agoAt the same time, i would presume if his arrest was this irregular and illegal he would be taking it to actual court instead ofthe court of public opinion.
- throwaway27448 4mo agoAre these exclusive opportunities? I'm not familiar with danish law.
- bawolff 4mo agoNot exclusive, but in general its a bad idea to post on social media if you plan to take it up in court, as its very easy to accidentally say something that shoots yourself in the foot.
- throwaway27448 4mo agoI suppose. I don't think that matters much in places with functioning legal systems.
- actionfromafar 4mo agoIt's the other way around. In a functioning legal system it matters what you said or didn't. In a non-functioning legal system they will just convict you regardless of what was said or done.
