Ferenc disputed its p-bot two years ago - still waiting for answers

"What upsets me is not the money, but it should take so long," says Ferenc Bush to the Plus Redaction, which has long been reviewing p-fines.

Several of the tips received by the editorial staff are about the police's long handling times.

Ferenc Bush got his p-bot when he parked in Malmö in March 2018. He put the car in a place he was sure was okay, since he had parked there before. But despite Ferenc paying for himself, he still got a parking fine of SEK 600.

“I don't understand why,” he says.

Ferenc p-bot is of a certain type, which by law must be paid directly. If such a fine is found to be wrong, it should be appealed to the police. Ferenc did so in April 2018.

In February 2020, nothing has happened yet.

Recently, the Ombudsman (JO) criticized the police for unacceptably slow and passive handling of two parking cases. According to JO, the police department's legal unit Syd has left the cases without anyone working with them.

Right now, just over 8,000 parking cases are awaiting a decision from the South Police, and the waiting time is about two years.

- The situation is worrisome and the Police Authority should be able to use its combined resources in a better way, says JO Per Lennerbrant.

The police legal unit Syd regrets the long processing times and explains them that they have undergone personnel changes while having too little resources. Now, however, the police have staffed with more officers.

- Right now we have 23 months of processing time, but a week ago we had two months longer queue. So we work very intensively to reduce the processing times, says Peter Saarman, group manager at the Syd police.

He also states that Ferenc Bush will make a decision in his case within a few weeks.
