The state wants to punish an officer who did 200 km/h 4 years ago

An officer who 4 years ago went 200 km/h with an arrested person in the car should be stripped of his driver's license, the prosecution believes.

There was already one person arrested in the car when a police officer chased another driver around on a country road east of Kalundborg.

Therefore, the officer must be denied the right to drive a car. It came out at a trial at the Court in Holbæk, where the officer sat on the dock.

Ritzau writes that.

On the other hand, the officer believes that he should be totally acquitted, as he denies being guilty. Boosted has previously mentioned the case. Read more about it here .

But in court it also emerged that the public prosecutor in Copenhagen believes that the accused officer broke the law as many as 25 times in just 15 minutes.

And according to the public prosecutor's office, the way to corral a car must cost the officer a fine and an unconditional revocation of the corral card. According to Ritzau, the officer's defense has refused to comment.

If the officer is acquitted in the case, it will not be the first time an officer goes free after causing problems on the Danish roads.

An officer was acquitted in January by the District Court in Roskilde, after back in September he sped up to 180 km/h and hit a 76-year-old woman in a Subaru. The woman subsequently died, but a car inspector could not see that the police had done anything wrong at the scene.

Even earlier – namely in 2005 – an officer was for example acquitted of drunk driving on Æro in the Funen Sea, and in 2007 an officer was acquitted of having shot 20 times at a getaway driver in Copenhagen's north-west quarter.

In the new case, it is not clear whether the accused officer will lose his job if the state ends up taking away his choir card.
