Just read an article about how a police station in denmark was looking for volunteers to man a gatso-van. NOBODY volunteered as the cops themselves thought this was of no use and that it was a "sneaky" way to generate money!! (also the boredom factor was quoted)

Hurray for the DK-fuzz!!

If any danes read this it was in Berlingske online today

Yeah but maybe they need to employ new tactics, e.g. "It will be frowned heavily upon if you don't meet your quota for the day" - That'll soon have them all out stopping people.
Seen the worst of the worst thing yesterday. Plod in beat up Mondeo parked on double yellow lines, 1 yards from a corner. He was in getting his Pizza order across the road from my lawyers office! Nice!

If there is one thing I can stand its a "hypo"crit.

The DK police seem to do things a little differently. My brother studied over there for a few years and once got pulled for 159kph in a 110 limit. They wanted him to pay an on the spot fine. He showed them his Student Card and they gave him a 50% student discount!!

(And apparently they don’t have a points system in Denmark so no totting up problems).
