Corrupt power abusing cops aren't exactly rare nor do they have any bearing on the country of finland as a whole. And using the US of all places as a positive example in that case is just ludicrous. I have no reason to doubt you were wronged, but that also doesn't mean shit for how the average person feels about their life.
No, a single corrupt cop wouldn't.
But the fact is it wasn't a single cop. It was the entire department, because I spent several days in the cell, when they knew I was in there, LITERALLY eating myself bloody means that it was the whole department.
Or can you explain a legal way that happens, please? And how after the fact, I'm still having to argue people like you, pretty much saying "no biggie".
I tried suing them. I tried taking it to the ombudsman. I tried everything. Not a single Finnish person is ready to actually talk about how this could have happened in our country. It's such a massive and intentional fuckup that we need to see how it could have happened in the first place. To dismiss it like that is to invite authorianism.
Please explain to me how this doesn't show that the entirety of the Finnish justice system is bullshit? How come no-one is willing to discuss literal torture. They didn't even need to put me in jail in the first place. For the same exact crime, you usually get a fine. No reasoning. There was no warrant either, although they function differently in Finland one is still required, even when it's usually a verbal one. The one I got was backdated by two months.
And you're dismissing this instead of getting worried? THAT is the issue.
