Two teenagers with a “joint” went to work when they saw police patrolling Stord. Now the sheriff’s office must endure criticism for unnecessary use of force.
It sparked reactions when the Sørvest police district posted Sunday Twitter message about two young men who escaped from the police patrol and were located by a police dog.
The crime they were both suspected of was possession of a small amount of drugs. The Stord Sheriff’s Office informs Nettavisen that the two boys, aged 16 and 17 respectively, have been reported for possession of hashish, more specifically a “joint”.
– Left to parents
“Two people fled the police on foot. He was quickly found again using a police dog. The two boys, 16/17 years old, are suspected of having used drugs and will be reported for it. The parents notified and the children were left in their care ”, it was said in the message that the police published on Christmas morning. The incident report reached the police at 12:30 p.m.
– Provocative when the police at the same time release the cases they receive wrapped deliveries, write one on Twitter.
Another asks how the police have time for this when the guards experience a rejection when they call and ask for help.
Jacob Hystad, drug researcher at the Tyrilistiftelsen, tells Nettavisen this in a comment:
– From what I read, it seems that the police have used resources that must be completely disproportionate when it comes to intervening in a possible crime, says Hystad, who has a police record.
It indicates that this intervention provided is regulated in the legislation, both in the Police Law and in the Criminal Procedure Law.
– It is a solid principle in the Norwegian judiciary that one does not act more than is necessary to solve a possible crime. It’s one thing to go after kids with a dog patrol, it’s another thing to report suspected use, Hystad says.
– Routine assignment
Roald Raunholm, head of investigation for the Stord sheriff’s office, tells Nettavisen that he understands that people question the use of force, but believes it was within the framework in this case.
– The police dog patrol was on a routine mission in Stord when they observed two people who were walking, but who ran from the scene when they saw the police. This prompted the police to follow suit. In this work, a patrol dog was used to locate the two boys, who were 16 and 17 years old, respectively. Some substance was found that they had thrown away, says Raunholm and says there must have been a small amount of hashish in the form of smoke or “joint.”
Receive a follow-up offer
It says this about what kind of reaction the two of you can expect:
– Both have been denounced for possession, but they are being followed up and followed up.
According to Raunholm, the two risk a fine.
– What do you think of people’s reaction to the use of force by the police in this case?
– There must always be a proportionality. In this case, the canine patrol saw two young men fleeing, and they did not know why or who they were. It was a classic mission for a dog patrol to track them down, so I think this is inside. No one was injured by the dog, he says.
