After the half he could go home or do whatever

He was on a world tour at the time no?

he had been taken to court where the police have to give a good argument on why he is to get two new weeks or let go at least here in norway

Anytime foreigners are involved. The parent nation tends to keep a close eye on the matter, that isn't new.

We can only keep two weeks before everything needs to be solved. If it goes more then two weeks they are let go. @Nordhand

I have no idea who this random black guy is, and I don't care about swedens justice system.

Don't be a retard in foreign countries

This is new however. Everyone checked because this guy was a celebrity. @EnderOctanus

Okay. Not that bad all things considered.

Our system isnt unique. Norway does it, Japan does it, etc.

ok, here in norway we can keep them infinite as long as the cops can argument that it a risk to let the suspect out

We cant

As far as I know

I am skeptical of foreign justice, because I have no power to influence it. I can influence the law in America. But that is also why I would avoid being a dick in someone else's house.

I would hate to be in his place. That is where much of the outrage shit comes from.

So what did he even do?

Get in a fight @galesteppes

Got in a fight with a stalker

got in a pubic fight

Might even have been self defence here

They got in a fight with a couple guys when it came to those small scooters

It was. That was why he was let go. @EnderOctanus

Right

How long was he kept?

All the facts were shown this tuesday. And yesterday he was let go because court found him not guilty.

@galesteppes Less than 2 weeks

Civil law scrubs

I mean here we would toss him in jail overnight and let him go in the morning, with a citation for public disturbance unless someone got injured.

the reason it was such a hassel was because the other guy was suing @EnderOctanus

And if it seemed clear that it was self defense there probably would be no charges UNTIL it was investigated.

did not help that one of the witness was a key to freeing him did refuse to speak for a week as I did understood it

In common law, that shit would have gotten thrown out

What a waste of money.

2 weeks imprisonment and a trial for a fight?

yeah. @Nordhand

We arrest people after we investigate normally.

in this case the cops was afraid if they did do that, he had been long gone.

guys rich and could take a plane whenever he wants

For a fight

That's still sort of backwards but hey, not my house.

yes. where one side is suing. thats the problem. @Fitzydog

exact same thing would happen in the US

one party sues, entire thing gets extremely dragged on and long
