Make fewer arrests. And that's an order!
People caught committing certain criminal offences over the next few weeks might find Copenhagen cops handing them a get out of jail free card.
City police officials have asked officers to make fewer arrests while the legal justice system processes a backlog of cases.
'Right now, the district attorney's office is overburdened,' police spokesperson Per Larsen told TV2. 'If we continue to add to the pile, we'll never get through them all.'
Larsen said the situation forced the police to 'think carefully' about what arrests they made. Crimes less likely result in time behind bars include traffic violations, drug dealing and organised crime
