Instead, tell them it’s banned. That’ll stop them in their tracks.

You cannot kidnap someone without their consent. Just say no.

Pro tip: You also cannot be kidnapped if you do give consent! Then it stops being a kidnapping and becomes a road trip. Like and subscribe for more life hacks

My god she is so god damned dumb. The whole right wing is just so vapid in this country, except the nazis- they aren’t just dumb, they’re zealous too, which is a way more dangerous combination.
These assholes are turning Sweden into a straight up surveillance society and dismantling our rights because dAnGeRoUs ImIGrEnTs. It makes me want to fucking vomit, they are destroying everything that made Sweden great so that we can become more like USA- their favorite country in the world (except for the nazis, who for some super inexplicable reason are in love with Russia).

You do realize that Annie Lööf hasn’t been a politician since 2023 because of people like you?

Annie Lööf en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annie_Lööf
While she is a crazy economically far right politician, who wants everyone to have higher rents, no welfare, and so on, the one thing her party (through many party leader switches since her) still stands against is the populist racist far right. While all other right wing parties adopted the far-right language and started collaborating with them, her party did not, and left their previous coallition to be in opposition instead. I have probably zero respect and understanding for her and her party’s politics, except for that one point. This position also led her to be a target of a planned neo nazi assassination, because of all the hate the far right (here I mean hate the actual far right party, which all the right parties collaborates with openly had for her) has for her and her party.

I gave up hope when they said welcome to millions of immigrants, without any filter whatsoever, just come to the country without having a job, income, and you dont have to learn the language. Oh and here is some money too so you can stay at home. And here is an apartment.
LOL. Swedish people are like…what happened… :)
It was very nice of them, very human, but now the country has massive problems and it wont get any better.

As long as you continue to blame all of your country’s problems on Muslims you will never have the understanding needed to actually fix them.

Since I assume you’re talking about the time after the Arab spring and muslims, instead of the Finns or Yugoslavs or Argentinans or any other immigrant group.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is something you might wanna read up on, article 14 especially.Anyway, there’s so much dumb shit in your comment that it’s hard to reply to, I mean

And yes, now they are using the crime as an excuse to put cameras and change laws, as expected. It was probably always the end goal.
I will say this: human greed in our world has no limits.

No, this is what causes high crime rates! If you want lower crime rates you just outlaw law.

“Viral: Annie Lööf and the criminal offenses
I have noted that this old image of Annie Lööf from SVT’s Aktuellt is circulating on social media again. “In Sweden, it is forbidden to be criminal,” the caption on the image reads, and comments usually suggest that this proves how utterly imbecilic Annie Lööf is to say such a thing.
Image likely from Aktuellt, February 21, 2012. But is the text authentic or manipulated?
But is the image actually authentic? Admittedly, those who subtitle TV programs are often forced to compress statements quite heavily, so this could possibly be what the subtitler thought was a fair summary of what Annie Lööf said. However, it could also be a Photoshopped image.
The last time this image went around the web, I wrote to Aktuellt to ask, but unfortunately received no reply. The image shows the older Aktuellt logo, so it should be older than March 5, 2012, when Aktuellt launched its new design.
The Swedish Radio program Tankesmedjan i P3 addressed the matter on February 23, 2012, and on the program’s website, they also wrote about it under the headline “It is illegal to commit crimes.” The audio file itself on the website was titled “In Sweden, it is thus criminal to be criminal.” In the program, this causes great amusement, yet they quote Annie Lööf with a longer excerpt than what appears in the TV image, where she says:
“In Sweden, for a very long time, it has been forbidden to conduct activities with a criminal purpose, and it still is and will continue to be so in the future.”
The Social Democratic magazine Tiden’s Facebook page also reproduces the longer quote and cites the source as SVT’s Rapport on February 21, 2012. Political scientist and commentator Ulf Bjereld likely heard the same phrasing in Aktuellt that same day, as he tweeted:
“In Sweden, it has long been forbidden to conduct activities with a criminal purpose.” Annie Lööf just said in SVT Aktuellt.
Bjereld apparently considered any further comment superfluous.
When the TV station did not respond to my email, I wrote instead to Annie Lööf’s department, the Ministry of Enterprise, and received a reply from Joel Kanebjörk (Oct 19, 2012, reg. no. N2012/3636/BREV):
“Minister for Enterprise Annie Lööf has previously pointed out that it is forbidden to conduct activities with a criminal purpose. This was in connection with deliberations regarding Annie’s and the government’s vision to simplify and increase freedom for the country’s entrepreneurs. Part of this vision has been to reduce the number of regulations for entrepreneurs, precisely to increase freedom and profitability. Against this background, an implication has been highlighted suggesting that the government has simplified things so much for businesses that it is now easier for them to resort to criminal acts.”
Well, then the statement perhaps doesn’t sound quite so tautological. If you search through old government bills and legal texts, you also find quite a bit regarding “criminal purpose.” For example, the Trade Names Act (1974:156) prohibits registering a firm that “is contrary to law or other statutes.”
In Government Bill 1973:115, legislation is requested because it can “be suspected that at least part of the significant income provided by sex club and posing activities is utilized for a criminal purpose.”
In a motion to the Parliament (1997/98:L912), it is stated that it is not “justifiable that the Foundation Act is used for a criminal purpose. A review should take place to close the loopholes that make economic crime possible…”
It remains an open question whether the specific image is manipulated or not. But it can be considered established that Annie Lööf was likely referring to these types of ulterior motives within certain activities.”
