The Independent Police Complaints Authority charged the well-known officer Preben Sandager with insanity. But the case was dropped. Today he is retired.
According to the Central and West Zealand Police, one of the region's most well-known officers has retired.
According to Ekstra Bladet , this concerns the 62-year-old Preben Sandager, who himself was charged with driving under the influence of insanity.
This was based on a 900-page report from the Independent Police Complaints Authority, DUP. However, the case was dropped again when the State Attorney's Office believed that it was all allegations against allegations.
In connection with another case of insane asylum, Preben Sandager himself has admitted that he "probably messed up" with some video material.
The police's own expert believes that Preben Sandager violated several of the police's own guidelines when he chased drivers in his civilian video car. This is said to have happened on several occasions.
Allegedly, Preben Sandager has provoked drivers to drive too fast several times so that he could give them a ticket or even worse; charge them with reckless driving.
The Central and West Zealand Police are not very keen to deal with Preben Sandager's possible criminality, especially because it is considered a personnel matter.
The police district will therefore not answer whether Preben Sandager's behavior on duty had further consequences for him while he was still employed.
Preben Sandager, who has otherwise willingly appeared in the media to talk about his former work as a traffic police officer on the roads of central and western Zealand, has not been able to elicit a comment, according to Ekstra Bladet.
But this is not the first time that the officer has been under the police's own scrutiny. In 2016 alone, Preben Sandager was summoned for a so-called official interview because management believed that he had manipulated video material from the civilian police car he was driving around in on as many as 9 occasions.
In an interview with Ekstra Bladet, a motorist wants to tell us what it's like to meet the former police officer. And it certainly doesn't sound nice.
Kasper Abrahamsen, now 27, an industrial technician, feels unfairly judged after his fight with Preben Sandager. The driver's case ended with a conviction for reckless driving.
Boosted has written about Sandager's behavior on the roads. And the industrial technician's experience is apparently not unique.
– I met him years ago. He is sick in the head and has a huge ego, writes Daniel C. in the comments section of the article "Fartgal cop admits 'sloppy' with recordings."
