I don't know how that aspect of it works over there, do you? I know in the UK they will reduce the charges down to what they know they will get an easy conviction on. I have no idea how things work in Denmark, it may be that they aren't allowed to not bring charges, might be an interesting thing to research, I don't have the time right now though.VMI77 wrote:No, the minimum allowed is not charging her with anything so that punishment isn't even a consideration...unless you're going to tell me that in Denmark every single person that ever gets caught violating the law is always prosecuted and discretion is never applied to any case.SewTexas wrote:allisji wrote:WildBill wrote:It's more like a slap in the face.SewTexas wrote:it's the equivalent to a $100 fine, it's sad, but it's not even a slap on the wrist.

hey, I'm not saying I like it. I'm just saying what it is. I could be wrong, but I think it legally the punishment could be more. I think they gave her the minimum allowed.

Re: Denmark: 17 year old girl will be charged for fighting off rapist with illegal weapon-pepper spray
it's illegal in the UK also. There are only a few countries in Europe that it's legal in. That's why the "bad guys" feel so free to do whatever they want.

it's the equivalent to a $100 fine, it's sad, but it's not even a slap on the wrist. You can bet the women will still be going to France or Switzerland and getting the stuff by the case.
