We begin our review of the traffic offenders and why society has such a hard time stopping them from meeting Johan Alm, group manager of the traffic police in Dalarna. Here are a number of clips where Alm tells about everyday life in the traffic police.
When the police seize the cars, the relapsing criminals go into traffic only and buy a new one: "It feels comfortless"We are not enough - "It will happen again"

Thanks!
Today we ask the question to Minister of Justice Morgan Johansson (S), "How do we get this stopped" and with that we end this review that has been going on with your help throughout the spring. We would like to extend a big thank you to all readers and viewers for questions, comments and their own stories that have driven the work forward.
• Here is the entire review in three minutes: https://www.svt.se/nyheter/localt/dalarna/har-ar-hela-review-pa-3-minutes-how-custom-the-handa
And what does Morgan Johansson answer? Well, he says that he himself has asked himself why in Swedish law there are so low penalties for drunk driving and illegal driving that the police have a hard time intervening.
- The police will be given more severe penalties and increased opportunities to arrest these people we are talking about. We will also see an expansion of the police operations in the coming years, ”says Morgan Johansson.

How can you own cars when you do not have a driving license and get stuck for so much steering wheel load ??
Sally
Hi Sally,
That is a very good question. In addition, several of these notorious traffic offenders own a large number of vehicles, so you can only get into a new car when a vehicle is forfeited. I met the traffic police Johan Alm the other day and asked him, among other things, what you ask. Tomorrow we publish several interesting parts of that interview here at svt.se/dalarna.

Raise the penalty! Now! If you kill someone at the dump, you should be charged with murder. Criminals in this country are overpowered.
Marie
Hi Marie,
Thank you for your comment. We take that view forward. We have booked an interview with a judge who has sentenced countless such cases and it will be interesting to hear what he says.

not at all strange, which is incredibly depressing with all the abusers they are sorry about, but those affected may blame themselves

Sweden's legal system must be changed. It is completely wrong to receive a discount on the penalty time, come out after 2/3, a few months for serious crimes, etc. Start using the entire sentence scale for the various crimes and preferably the maximum penalty so that first-time criminals get a thinker. If you have an abuse it should be offered care and you do not take it so directly into the fine for a long time. As a victim, you have to fight for your rights while the criminal gets everything served.

Hi Jessica, thanks for your comment.
How well the treatment of addicts works may well be something we investigate in the future.

Most people in Orsa knew him, bad that nobody did anything. There is something called Civil Courage.

The defense wants him to go free one begins to wonder if they have been bought completely ill
He must have at least 20 years
Roffe
Hi Roffe,
The task of the defense is to represent the interests of their clients in the best possible way. That what is in the client's interest may not be in line with the public interest is not much to do.

How should we show citizens that we do not accept this type of recurring crime, where has the civil remedy taken the road? Do we look uneasily when the notorious drunk driver steps into his car and thinks that this will get someone else to take hold, someone in Stockholm?
Mattis
Hi Mattis,
In our conversation with traffic police Johan Alm (published tomorrow), he talks about people seeming to look at traffic offenses in a different way than other crime. That little other game rules seem to apply in traffic. One thing he particularly asked about is the phenomenon where people warn each other of the police's sobriety and speed checks in groups in social media. And that many of these relapse criminals are in these groups.
