For several years, legal psychology in Växjö has had problems with drones flying over their area. But now it is soon over, after the New Year the clinic can shoot down unwelcome vehicles.


The forensic psychiatric regional clinic in Växjö is classified as a protection object where there is a photo ban and a flight ban over the wall. But in recent years, David Wirdelöv, Deputy Chief Operating Officer, has noted several unwelcome flying objects in the protected airspace.

New law from the turn of the year

But from the turn of the year, the Protection Act changes, which means that the clinic can now call a police officer - who can pull weapons against the intruders.

"It's about getting the right to injure and fire such vehicles," says David Wirdelöv.
