It will be forbidden to drive around in a car that is painted so that it looks like a police car or other emergency vehicles – that is the goal of a new investigation added today.
The Minister for Justice and Minister for Migration and Morgan Johansson says that fake police cars are a big problem.
– It is. There are a number of cases where people have actually painted on their cars so they look very similar police cars. It is used even by people with criminal records. The public must be able to assume that what looks like a police car is a police car, and it does not today, he said.
With the laws in force today, it is only when someone behaves as police such is wearing a uniform or begin directing traffic, as a crime being committed.
To contrast driving around in what looks like an emergency vehicle, such as an ambulance or a police boat, is not contrary to the law .
Justice Minister Morgan Johansson refer to a case from 2012:
– Starting to act as police, then it is a crime. But the Court deemed just to run around with a police car then it is not a crime, and it is the door we now want to clog, he said.
