Can cops take someone if they did not do anything

Post Reply New Topic

Hey everybody...

Yesterday night i was at a koncert then some policepigs came and took my friend agusing him for throwing molotovs (but he did not he was with me all the time). They say that they got some ho says it was him (stupid emo's). Well anyway he walked away with the cops as they asked him to do. But when he got from the police station he got a ticket on 600 kr. (111.64 USD) for not following the police orders. How the BEEP can they do that?!?!?.

Anyway regards Arkardo

Well, apparently things are done very differently in Denmark than here.

how do they do it where you live?

They would do an investigation.. Ask witnesses what they saw happen, interrogate the accused, and possibly take the situation to court. They wouldnt just go by some rumor, storm in and carry someone away and charge them. Unless they witnessed it themselves.

Here in NL, you can get a € 250 ticket (that's $347 US) for "insulting a police officer". What constitutes an "insult" is of course anyone's guess.

Insulting the Queen or royal family will cost you € 400 (or $544 US).

So much for the open-minded tolerant Dutch.

If I was wealthy I would be insulting them left and right just to be rebellious.

We could do with some Danish law here!

technically, money is a representation of debt.
An unpaid fine is also a debt.
Paying off one debt with more debt is fraud!
Therefore your friend is unable to make good any fines by use of conventional currency, so the figure given can be rejected.

Also, many governments are actually private corporations (dont know about denmark)
private corporations operate under commercial code or 'contract law'.
As such, contractual obligations cannot apply to non-corporate entities (living individuals), unless that individual has willingly entered into a fully disclosed contractual agreement to abide by the company laws (most of us havent)

In the us insulting or talking back to a police officer can be considered you saying I wasn't there to do it.

I've been stopped by cops and lectured for half an hour about me and threatened to be arrested for truancy because I wasn't in high school, at the time I was in my second year of college.

They wouldnt charge him money or anything if they didnt know for sure he deserved a ticket.
