Same. Love how the cops are quick to jump into their CVPI's and speed off in pursuit.

This could be a good lcpdfr scenario/event?

True story, here in sweden the Police are riddiculos. (spelling?) My dad was going 110 KMH on a 70 strech, speeding past a police car, didn't even look at him.

Don't even bother to say anything... Honestly we have a quite "fresh" and capable police force, it's just our retarded laws and politicians stupidness that's stopping them from being efficient.

If we (police & taxpayers) started to stop buying all these police cars who tend to crash more than "regular" cars in Sweden, then they should change moto, their current moto seem to be "slow and safe", instead of atleast trying to get there (safely of course, but not in slow motiont please...) The respond times here where I live is around 5-10 min for the fire department & ambulance services, meanwhile it's like 30 min for the police. (The local police station is 5 min away from my house with car...).

 

I really don't mean to hate on the police department in Sweden, they know what they're doing it's just that we have such a complicated justice system and stupid laws in Sweden which stops the police from being as efficient as it could be.

It just makes me quite angry when people complain about the police, I'm aware I just did that but I'm not blaiming only them, but the way the justice system works in Sweden.

 

E.G. In order to give out a speeding ticket in Sweden, the police needs like 1-2 minute video of the person speeding. We're also allowed to talk in our phone while driving, just not texting or using the phone in any other way, what's the point of that?

Plot twist: The police can only stop the driver and hand out a ticket if

A: they can prove w/ video that the driver were texting

B: That it affects the driver's "driving style"

 

In Stockhlm "county" (Län in Swedish, we're the biggest), we have around 6 900 police officers. The total force of all of Sweden is 20 000 for 9 M people.

....

 

Anyways, if you're intrested in some more of my complaining just quote this post and ask for more (LOL )

 

Meanwhile in Sweden: Join me the fight against polar bears with my bare hands

Fighting polar bears with bare hands? I might take you up on that.
No guns allowed?

That's because not all units on the road are traffic enforcement units. It's not their job, they can but they usually won't stop someone.

 

And no, they do not abort a pursuit if it's over 60 mph. That does not make any sense. They abort a pursuit if it is a danger to other people on the road and that is a perfectly reasonable excuse to back down from a pursuit (depends on what kind of crime the driver committed though).

I haven't heard of that requirement before, and I did look for sources. Do you have any on that? Just curious because that seems a little... stupid tbh. I heard of several people being stopped for speeding, and there was no need for videoproof when they contested it.

 

Also, about that last part: "Driving style affected" is an extremely loose term and is up for the officers interpretation to decide. 

I am glad those assholes got arrested and glad that nobody got seriously injured

The "They abort a pursuit if it goes over 60 MPH" was a joke on my side. I heard a radio debate about police aborting pursits a lot lately.

 

On the second part, I also read, that in order for the police to stop and cite the driver whom are texting and/or doing something on their phone (With the exception of calling) they need proof in order to hand out the citation. They also need to know that it affects the drivers "driver style" in other words, can the driver drive normally or not while texting... (E.G. Sverving in and out of lanes).

 

Overall the posts were about the Swedish police insufficiency, and how they have the capacity to do some great policing, but....

 

Edit: Found a quote about it (In Swedish ofc) but they quoted from the law itsef -

”Vid färd på väg med ett motordrivet fordon får föraren ägna sig åt aktiviteter såsom användande av mobiltelefon och annan kommunikationsutrustning, endast om det inte inverkar menligt på framförandet av fordonet.”

As you can see, it's quite a weak and stupid law, why not just ban the cell phone overall when driving?

 

Also, I have a short video (In Swedish since this is taking place in Sweden) from Stockholm "County" (Län) about the new law.

Thanks ineseri btw for teaching me how to create spoilers

Aborting pursuits (or, better, transferring to aerial primary pursuit and radio cars staying close but driving more normally) for nonviolent crimes is sensible, and departments should do it more often. Pursuits are one of the most dangerous things an officer does, and have a really high risk of killing the officer, the suspect, or innocent bystanders.

totally agree, saw a really good pursuit of a fat guy on a MC (I laughed quite hard ), but the CHP untis just pulled away and they had a helicoper following the subject, he was later arrested by LASD, LAPD & CHP while trying to blend in with the crowd. 

 

Here's another pursuit in LA, it's a quite good one, might be bad video quality but you get to see som CHP FPIU's in action.
