In the US it takes 3-5 months of training in most states to become a police officer, a lot of that time is spent on shoot to kill practice. In Norway it takes 3 years of school, a lot of that time is spent on deescalation.
Police school is 4 years and after that its 2-3 years training in police and the police almost never go whit loaded guns the ammo is locked in a safe in the car so the police never uses a firearm unless it is very very critical situasjon
@@ApolloNorwayforlife Wrong. Police school is a 3 year BA, second year being a part of a patrol unit working the streets. After that you need to apply for job openings like anybody else.
‘Twas NO translation, it was auto generated subtitles with the machine interpreting Norwegian words and phrases (making words out of sounds it recorded) into complete gibberish 😅
The training period for a police officer in Norway is 3 years. The police are there to serve the public not at war, with them because most Norwegians are not armed. There is an element of trust in Norwegian society unlike in America
He had been speeding, but since the police offisers didn't register the speed he got off with a warning. In Norway you have to have a technical/mechanical check on your car every 2 years. This secures safe and secure cars on the road. If you don't follow up and get the car approved, the police get the information and will stop you and remove your plates. (Which is why they did that in the video)
@@hebalottIn the US they often ticket people for speeding even though they have no radar or laser reading. I have never heard of cops doing that in Norway, because they will probably lose in court. You can't reliably gauge a car's speed by sight, but I'm sure someone got convicted in the US on that "evidence" alone.
The bi-annual motor vehicle check is called an "EU control", to see whether or not the car performs to EU standards. Not European, but European Union. For any non-Europeans.
@@AudunWangen you can if you match their speed. since cop cars have speedometers that are certified accurate. different to normal cars that are usually 3-6kph off. but yeah, sight alone isn't enough evidence. and in norway by the time they get a speed reading from matching your speed their radar (which we saw on their roof) has already clocked you.
They also mentioned something about how many warnings the driver had already gotten, suggesting the possibility of having their license revoked. And one of the policemen noted that he could smell the heat off the car, suggesting the driver had been driving incredibly fast. Other than that, there was either poor audio in the recording or in the video file as much of the speech just sounded like mumbling.
Many years ago i bought a used car. On the way back from Ski to Oslo one of the wheels fell off. In the middle of the night. A police patrol stopped to find out what was going on. I had been to a birthday celebration so i was wearing nice clothes. The police offered to drive me and my brother to the nearest train station. One of the officers said " we can see you are good taxpayers so just jump in". While driving they got a call about some situation, turned on the blue lights and sirens and was speeding up. That was very cool. Later they drove us to the nearest train station and even apologized for not driving us all the way home. 👍
I have only had some mild speeding tickets where the sign was hard to see, but recently we got pulled over. The situation was that my mom was backing out of a parking spot and she don't like to have her seat belt on when she has to turn around to see. The police drove by. I laughed and told her uh-oh, hope they did not see your seat belt was off those three seconds. So we drove on our merry way for a whole while, and suddenly the police car came with the lights on and all. I could not hold my laughter and told him that we were joking about it when we saw them. He started chuckeling too, and just reminded us to put it on next time even on the parking lot.
Remember one thing. We dont have any policemen killed by drivers in Norway in last 40 years. Last time a cop was killed was in a robbery, and we talking 20 years pluss years ago. To be police in Norway is very safe.
also, there is a lot of training (3 years of it, compared to the around 3-8 months in the US) so if they end up in a dangerous situation, they know what to do.
partly because they have to take a 3 year long bachelors degree with a lot of training, 7800 hours total to be exact and then a trial period with a "parent" don't know what it would be called. not supervisor but like someone that's supposed to take you under their wing before they're off "alone" (although always in pairs, unlike America where many cops have to be on patrol solo) and unlike American cops the police here have training by the military, and train with the military. during my service where my primary job was to ensure and provide good quality training for our homeguard. I also worked with the local police a lot. its a tight knit cooperation and well lets just say I know they are well trained for their job. not just because the criminals are safer. some aren't
@@elementalgolem5498 Have been stopped many times bc my early working hours, and have never had bad contact with police. They are allways nice. As u mention, good education is the deal. Its not totally safe to be a police, but what i said its safer to be a police in Norway compare to USA. Appx 200 police get killed each year in usa, and that is 3 in year in Norway. We dont even have that number. That is my point. Police have sometimes dangerous jobs in Norway too, oc. Police actions at Utøya in 2011 showed that.
The first story: The police officer says it's a young guy driving his fathers car and how he can't prove the high speed because he's driving behind him with the lights on. He just wanted to stop the crazy driving. Then he discovers the car has an outstanding bill and is required to be reposessed, is that the word. They are suppose to take the license plate on the car for outstanding bills on permits etc.
The boy already has 6 dots in his drivers license, he will soon be a pedestrian, he gets a warning. This boy is in serious trouble, but with his father not paying his bill either. Not the best role models I suppose.
not reposessed, they only took the plates due to an outstanding technical control (EU- kontroll). this does in no means not mean they lose possesion of the car
Decomissioned. Repossessed is when a vehicle get taken back to its originating dealership because an owner could pay Loan fees. (But the Word Repossess can be used in many other terms aswell) That car had its scheduled EU-Maintenance check over due. Thats why the police decomissioned it. I see you are Norwegian aswell. So you know the rest how our systems work lmao.
06:00 Norway is safe enough that the police are required to leave their firearms secured inside the trunk of their car, because there's very few situations a cop in Norway will encounter where using a firearm would be required to do their job. I do think they are allowed to carry tasers now, though, and a foldable baton thing, if I'm not mistaken, but even the taser isn't permitted to be used willy nilly.
taser has a lot more rules than the firearms even infact. basically, you can only deploy the taser if you would've been permitted to use the gun too. say a person with a knife. and it depends, at times police are armed 24/7 it's all to a ongoing risk assessment. same as the military. at times the military starts to drive around armed. at others they have the guns locked away or don't have ammo onboard.
I have to say you make America look really good by being as humble and open minded as you are. Respect. I can say you would feel very much at home in Norway - except for the food prices, off course.
I’m a dual citizen, and have been since birth. Born and raised mostly in Norway. There used to be a huge difference in prices, but when I visited the States this spring, I noticed that inflation has really taken a toll on the U.S.; prices are almost the same as in Norway, yet we have a much higher minimum wage here in Norway. That being said, our food is of higher quality, almost making Norwegian food prices lower than in the U.S. (if you were to buy organic / high quality food there). Restaurants are way more expensive in Norway, though.
Steeping out of the car like that is a red flag to police officers in Norway too. Not necessarily a sign of danger, but a sign that he may be trying to hide something and dont want the police to look inside the car.
Always look at what people look away from, walk away from or otherwise seem to want to get away from, either with look or movement. You can tell a lot by behavior, much of which is taught at police schools in Norway and in Europe in general.
A short summary of the car chase is that the car was caught speeding by another team. The reason the police isn't as alert that is because of the reason for the chase. The driver was a youngester with his dad's car. The car had also not been yearly checked up so the license plate had become invalid (if i interpreted it right). They drove to the gas station and the police looked at his driving and commenting the high speed and the smell from it. The license plate got taken of because it was expired/invalid and the driver got a warning called a dots (prikker) of 3 dots and have now 6 out of 8 warnings. If he get 8/8 dots during 3 years he will get his driverlicense suspended for 6 months. He probably got a fine too. Video 2: speeding and bad driving through a dense and populated area where the driver's behavior can give serious consequences. The driver doesn't stop while being chased and the police got a tip that the driver are probably very drunk. They see the car is driving to the town center so they decide to force stop the car. They are more "agressive" due to the higher risk he/she poses and because they didn't pull over = higher risk in resisting. Those videoes is simply about two dumb people driving stupidly, not criminals that want to terrorise the country. They will pull over in the end. And the police doesn't need to esculate the problem by being overly paranoid. I believe they are trained to be alert without having to hold a taser in the hand. Guns are also not used unless absolutely necessary. Besides, you can find out who the owner of the car is with the license plate, so even if you out run the police, the will just wait near your home or track the car in other ways.
As an addition on the second Video. They saw the driver almost hitting a pedestrian in one of the narrow streets. (And I am speculating, but I'm guessing this is why the police were aggressive even after they had stopped.)
The second town is Arendal, which has a lot of old, preserved buildings in a hilly terrain. The streets are therefore very narrow in many places. This is the same town that received the most snow during the heavy snowfall this winter. You can only imagine how difficult it is to remove so much snow in a short time when the roads are so narrow and there is nowhere to tip the snow. Everything has to be driven away by truck if it doesn't melt away in the meantime.
@@gunnhildk6299 I am not familiar with Skien, but the church in Skien is similar to Trefoldighet church in Arendal, except that the church in Skien has two spires. Trefoldighet church in Arendal has one spire, which you can clearly see in the video. You can also see Arendal stasjon, Gymnaset, Kulturhuset, Agderposten etc.
Police dont carry guns here unless there is something highly specual, and people in general dont have guns or weapons here. So that's probably why things are more "slack" in Norway.
Actually our police now days are more often armed than not on several occasions due to alt right radicalism and terrorism against Muslims, LGBTQ+ etc. If any major public event… at least if you compare to how it used to be back in the day. Then again we were still utterly naive of the fact that these things were yet to take place on Norwegian soil.
That was a long time ago. Now they are almost always armed when they are responding. Normally the patrol cops, the ones walking, riding, cycling, driving around don't carry guns, but they are not unarmed.
You are very wrong if you think we don't have guns here. in fact Norway was ranked #17 in the world of guns per capita in 2017. 28.3 guns per 100 people. The difference is we use guns for hunting animals, not to protect ourselves from people like our neighbour or the police.
@@vvrathhps there is only one reason Norwegians dont use guns for self-defence. The lawmakers where very clever and made it illegal to protect yourself. Number of guns sounds right. Not many in the cities (obviously) but outside and especially the countryside is loaded. Most places you will find at least one gun in every other house.
Once me and my sister in law was sitting in my car late night. Talking about the party (non alcohol party) we had been in. We talked for 30 min turning 1 hour😂 The police passed us twice and 3th time they stoped and askd if we were nurses. No we was not. Then they asked if everything was ok. We just told the truth that we had been to a ladies party and was full of gossip. They laugth and drowe on😂
Police training in Norway is a three-year vocational training offered at the Norwegian Police Academy. You go to school for a year before doing a year of practice in a police or sheriff's district. In the last year you are back at school. The study gives you a bachelor's degree
Norwegian police do not carry guns in general. They do have guns in their car - but it is locked up in the car and they need to call in and get permission to get the guns out. Even tho gun density is relatively high in Norway - most guns are hunting related - and there is no culture (or legality) of carrying guns around in public. This means it is relatively rare that the police encounter armed criminals...and they do not have the same fear as US police, when encountering or stopping a criminal. Ever see the video of the US police officer unloading his gun at his own car after an acorn falls on his car and he thinks the criminal locked up inside has started firing at him....? Looking from the outside US police seems mostly interested in protecting their own lives instead of the population..at any cost.
the difference between norway and the usa is that in norway is that norway has stricter control of weapons, so we don't have the same problems that you in the usa have
I hear people say that, but I'm not sure it's that different for most states, actually. 1. Both Norway and most states in the US require a background check. 2. There's no federal requirements for firearms training, but some states have that as well, especially for concealed carry permits. It is required in Norway. 3. You need to demonstrate a legitimate reason to own a gun in Norway, but in practice I believe you only need to be a member of a gun club and participate in a few competitions or training. 4. Gun ownership is limited to hunting rifles, shotguns and certain hand guns in Norway. I believe some states in the US also have regulations preventing some types of firearms. One thing is for sure. The government doesn't like people owning guns, so if you have one and carry it, you will most likely be harassed by police, even though you carry and own it lawfully.
@@AudunWangen not sure where you got the last peace of police and government caring as much. unless you show a disregard for travel safety while transporting a gun or brandishing it in any way it's like any other person on the street's
@@AudunWangenThere is no federal requirement for firearm training in Norway for owning a gun. You do need to take the "hunters-exams" before allowed to hunt with firearms. And that's about it.
@@JoriDiculous I guess I worded myself clumsily. The hunters exam requires you to be able to hit some targets and take a written test. To get a license for sport shooting, you need to be an active member of a gun club. Most gun clubs require you to take a safety course before you are allowed to shoot there. You can also get permission if you're a gun collector. I'm not sure if that requires anything else.
I had an american friend visiting in the 70’s. Told her to meet me at the harbourside. She was hysterical when I met her, because police had talked to her. Just checking if she was ok. It took me decades to understand she was actually afraid of police. I have been travelling a lot since then and learned .
In Norway becoming a police officer equals a three year bachelor degree, and then there are courses you can or sometimes must take afterwards depending on where you end up or what you want to do. In short, another patrol radioed them about a car because of "grisekjøring" which translates to "pig driving", which means driving like a fool, typically at high speed and attempting drifting and burnouts and things like that. The police then used the words "koste på" about going after this car, and this translates to "sweeping on", which means to hurry on, or going fast.
I am German, but I learned some Norwegian, so I understood most parts of it. They got the info via radio that a car was driving at a high rate of speed on E6 and catched up with this car to stop it. They were not able to measure the vehicles actual speed, so they had not enough evidence to write him a ticket for the speed. But they were able to run the plates through their systems and it came back that the registration expired due to the fact that the car didn´t pass the last safety inspection which is required every two years in Norway. So they decided to let the driver go to the next gas station in order to avoid having the car stranded by the road and being a hazard to other drivers in the middle of the night. Once they arrived at the gas station, they seized the plates and gave the driver a verbal warning that he would face more serious consequences if he decided to drive the vehicle again before it has a valid registration.
In Norway it takes 4 years to become and 1 grup officer and takes around 6 years to be a police officer or a politi betjent as we call in in my country
As a Norwegian I can tell you that usually the police doesn't have a gun with them... And usually Norwegian people doesn't have guns either. Only those who hunt has weapons and those are locked away when not in use for hunting moose or something.
Hey Tyler. Im porbl the Norwegian that seen most of your Videos, and commented on most, and it makes me laugh that FINALLY you get to the Town i live in., in the last Police Chase. Its a town called Arendal ( Arendelle in the disney movie Frozen, True story) Just sad to see its a police chase thats the first video you see of this Beautiful southern town in Norway . Hope you can look up Arendal and make a Video on that some day. ps. the Police Officer in the car on the left is a real Steven Seagal cop ( in his mind) hahaha
@@0Jenna7 The name Arendelle comes from Arendal, not Bergen. Arendelle is the central location of the Frozen franchise. It is a Norwegian-inspired kingdom, and the birthplace of Anna and Elsa.
Love this 😅😍 and I’m a Norwegian living in Norway 🇳🇴, to become a police officer you have to be a calm and collected person, empathetic, to mention a few things, just to become student at the Police Acadamy and its three or four years of study and practice.
here in Finland police school, training period for a police officer in 2 or 3 years. And its same like Norway, police are here to serve the public, not war.
Explanation for the first chase: He pulled over right when they caught up with him, so the didn't get a measurement of the speed. They tell him that the car's registration is expired. They tell him he was speeding a lot but they didn't get a measure. They took his plates but let him go. He will need to get his car towed to technical control.
In Norway, traffic offenses gives you "marks" on your license, and if you have eight or more marks over a period of three years, your license gets revoked. Serious offenses give a lot of marks and some of those will immediately result in a revoked license, whilst minor offenses give fewer marks. Marks can also accumulate however, so if you are a repeat offender on minor traffic things, you collect more and more points each time and can end up losing your license that way. Since they didn't have a speeding camera that measured HOW fast he had been going earlier there's no direct evidence as such when it comes to his speeding, but other signs like the smell of the engine and the reports kind of gave it away that he had been lead-footed on the gas pedal at some point. He didn't deny it either. The police let him off with a stern warning as a result, as the kid had managed to accumulate six marks already, and told him "you're as close as you can get to becoming a pedestrian", in hopes that he'd wake up and smell the coffee.
most people over here in Norway aren't allowed to get a weapon, me included. our police are trained to prevent damages to people. as a citizen in Norway, we also know that it's pretty much impossible to get away from the police when being chased, so most of us would rather stop as soon as possible, than risking insane fines for attepting to escape
I live in Norway and i was in florida in the usa in the summer im just gona say i am happy i live in Norway and if You do something wrong in Norway You have to see the prison cell it is a own room whit a frigh or a cooler I’m not sure what it’s called I don’t live there but it’s a own room in Norway whit a bed bookshelf and microwave and if you ask you can get a recess outside the prison for a day or two to visit family or other friends.
In Norway, it's a bachelor degree to become a police, and there is 2 regular police schools and 1 for trafic police.. 😊 And we mostly have respect for the police...
Police chace is from the tv show... (i'm pretty sure) it was called politijagten and i dont know where it originated, but i think it had a few different spin-offs, we had it here in denmark as well... it was called the same...
When it comes to weapons, in Norway there are very strict rules for buying a weapon. You MUST be a member of a shooting club, where you must have completed a safety course in the handling of weapons, the storage of weapons, where you are allowed to have weapons in front of you, and how to transport them between the shooting range and your home. And as of today, I think Norway is the only country where a civilian can carry weapons on board a scheduled flight, with a carry permit only. Everyone else must register the journey in advance and which must then cover from where, to where, with permission from the Police, carry permit, club card with photo++++++. And also think the weapon must be locked in a bag or box.
Not norweigan but swedish so didn't understand everything perfectly, but sounded like he was driving over the speed limit which was the main reason they chased him down. And then they also found he was driving an "unregistered" car, as in not allowed in traffic for some reason. He also had several previous warnings. Stopped watching at that point. Mostly the same vibe I get from swedish police and wouldn't be surprised of the same scene happening here.
It's not Norwegian police, but I remember seeing a video of Finnish police transporting a drunk man on a trolley thing (a flat thing with wheels and a handle so you can easily transport boxes, etc) (The video is called "Finnish police problem solving" btw)
1. They had feedback on reckless driving but got no measurements of the speed. It was a request for removal of licence plates due to lack of control. 2. They turned off the siren because the driver became reckless and dangerous. Driver was considered to be drunk and dangerous to others, so they wanted to stop him.
I am Norwegian and this is often normal, but they can be more intense. They were pulling him over becouse he had been driving too fast :) this was for the first guy. For the second guy: he was drunk If they knew he had a gun, maybe they would pull out a gun, but if not, they don't need to.
In the US, almost anyone can have a gun, and can carry it around. While in Norway it is way more strict, and you have to store it in a way so that it can't be just picked up and used. The only reason you would have a gun would be that you hunt, or you do competitive shooting (at least that are the only I know of) So it makes sense that Norwegian police is way more calm about approaching someone. Same goes with things like knives, it is very limited what knives you can have (essentially just kitchen knives, ones for work if you are a carpenter for example, and hunting related knives or other ones you would use while hiking), and you can't just bring them with you unless you need them for work, hunting, etc. And if you have to bring them to with you in your car, you are supposed to put them in your trunk so you can't just pick it up as you exit the car.
10:27 They found nothing. They didn't really search the car. They were reported in for driving to fast, but they couldn't get a speed reading?, speed measurement or something. They know that he was driving too fast, but without a reading they can't convict him. He was moments away from getting his drivers license revoked, and being fined. The reasons they take of the license plates is because he has failed to present the car for control. Every two years the cars are called in to control at a licensed mechanic shop and checked to see if it's safe to drive. They will check the brakes, airbags, lights, steering and other things and if they find something that's wrong, then it would be marked, and the owners would have to get it fixed before they are allowed to drive it on the road. If they fail to present it for control or if they don't get it fixed to the correct standard within a certain time limit, then it will get reported and the car marked as not safe to drive. If the police come across one of those cars then the license plates will be removed like it was here. It's important that you are up too date on the control or you might get in trouble with your insurance company. If he had been in an accident then the insurance company might not have paid for the all of the damages. EU-Mandatory roadworthiness test (“EU test”)
In Norway, it’s illegal for civilians to even carry a Swiss Army Knife unless you have a very obvious reason for it (like if on your way to the forest or if you’re on site working in construction). If you’re a gun owner, the gun has to be stored and locked in your house, and the police has to know exactly where you store it. This being said, there’s a lot less threat in general for police officers; a drunk person won’t suddenly pull out a gun or knife, because they (typically) don’t have any on their person. There’s always the black market, though, and Norway is not excluded. You can get illegal weapons if you know who to ask.
yes, perhaps mentioned of others here. The first situation, they police car did not drive behind the car long enough to measure that they did drive too fast, they got called for car driving reclesly, so they just wanted to stop the dangerous situation. In the secound situation, the driver is driving while beeing drunk, so he drives a bit from side to side and speeds up and slows down. Perhaps he panics when seeing the police behind him, and the roads therer are narrow as they can be in some of our older smaller villages. That driver almost hits a guy that delivers newspapers or something. So the police asses the situation as to dangerous for the sivilians and dont want to take unesesary risk, They dont want the driver to drive into the senter of the town so they slow down a bit to try make the car in front to not take to much risk. So they stay in distance for a little time until they see a chance to hit the throthles and get close up to it. You are completely right that most people in norway dont carry guns, some have linces for it as ofc we have hunters and others that are allowed, but they are not allowd to carry guns in public just like that. We have strict rules around it and people with psyciatric background will not be allowed guns normaly. Its just crazy that in the US so many peoples carry guns for "security" creating a totaly unsecure sosiety. All those guns ofc has the oppostite effect, the poice in norway are allowed to have guns in the back trunk, but they need specialy permit from the sentral station to acctualy take them out.. that will be done if they face dangerous criminals that might carry guns.
Since the subtitles were unhelpful: the first driver was caught speeding, then when the police looked up the registration number they found that the car had not passed a required checkup and had to have its licence plates removed. The driver also already had six marks on his driver's licence, so they were nice enough to only give him a warning and not another mark, which would have meant him losing his driver's licence.
The driver in the second video was reported to be drunk, which is probably why he gave up after the first hit. One thing Norwegian Police will do, that I'm not sure the American Police will, is break off a chase if it gets too dangerous for innocent bystanders, which actually happened for a brief period in this chase. Just look for the moment the siren is turned off. It's a shame that the subtitles were dragged through Google Translate 200 times more than necessary though.
They stopped him because his car was no longer registered (the license plates were no longer valid). He had missed some checks to see if his car was still road safe. (You have to check your car every 4 years to see if it is safe, etc) Also, he was doing some reckless driving. (driving faster than the speed limit)
in norway there is hatred and respectful relations with the police, we respect them and the police respect the people, i think it is very nice to have such a relationship with them😂
You have at least two danish police officers working in the US. They are also relaxed and friendly "over there" and in Scandinavia we trust in our police (I'm danish)
I must say, I have had a really nice experience with police in America. Friendly and helpful . This was in Park City Utah, not big city, but still, so very friendly. We even dropped off a Norwegian chocolate at the police station to say thank you.
So had I. I was in New York with a sailing ship moored at Pier 7 at East River during an Operation Sail event. A huge thing. We had an officer from NYPD as a sort of liaison officer. He actually belonged to the mounted police division, riding a horse. Very appropriate combo, horses and sailing ships. We got along very well. I took him for a sightseeing trip on our fullrigger, that wasn't for anybody really. A very nice and released guy. Because of being in company with horse probably. Not with fast cars.
they got a call for this bmw driving recklesly (he was speeding alot over the limit) but they said he was really lucky no one had measured his speed or they would have taken his license.. when they stopped him they said the car was wanted for not having been to the 2 year regular (eu kontrol) control of his car to prove its safe to be driven on the road thats why they took the license plates.
The driver had not payed some tax or something on his car, and thats why they took his plates off. He was also speeding however no one had measuered the speed, so they could not take him for that. The policemen said he was lucky that no one had measuerd their speed.
There are very few handguns in Norway, up north some people might have hunting rifles, and be able to apply for and pay for a license to shoot a deer, or a moose, at some specific geographic area.
2:48 They are trying to catch up with the car that reportedly is driving way too fast. BTW, Norwegian Police Officers have gone to the Police Academy which is college level and a Bachelor’s Degree (3 years schooling), so you are right in that they are very different from most American POs!!! 🤗
lol. We rarely have police chases in Norway, and the first one wasn't one of them either. Norwegian police also learn the fishtail maneuver. I just don't think they actually need to use it very often.
I actually owned an apartment nearby the place where the second driver almost hit that person. The city is called Arendal and the street where the driver almost hit the person is called Hylleveien. It's probably one of the narrowest streets in the city and it's complete madness to drive through that street at such a high speed. I completely understand why the policemen chose to slow down at that point. No need to provoke the driver to drive any faster and possibly endangering more people. Great that they were able to stop him in the end. The perpetrator was a driving under the influence, and I've heard that he was an "acquaintance" of the police with several prior convictions.
The first case: The car was driving too fast, that's why they got pulled over. But, they run the plates on the car and find that the car owner hasn't paid his registration fee. Thus the car is flagged to have it's plates removed. The police tell the driver that they were lucky that the police didn't have a chance to actually measure how fast they were driving, so the police will not charge them on that. They didn't find anything. The guy was honestly super lucky just to get his car unregistered.
So, the guy had driven by a couple of civilian police cars at high speed. Those two civilian cars weren't equipped for measuring speed, so they reported the car for speeding and a regular car went after them. By the time they caught up the suspects were driving at a normal speed, but they pulled them over regardless. They discovered the car was listed as not having been fully paid for, so the car was listed for having its plates confiscated. The driver was also told he had 6 out of 7 possible black marks on his license already and basically one point away from becoming a pedestrian. And yup, we don't have guns on average. Basically robbery has a much shorter prison term than armed robbery. And what do you need a gun for anyway? Shoot at the police? Heck no! They'll just shoot back! And if you should happen to kill a police officer? Then you're stuck in prison for murdering a police officer, probably with a "possible hazard to society" label and don't get out even after your sentence is done, unless the board deems you safe. Basically.. we don't get why American crooks shoot at the police, as being alive is generally better than being dead, yeah?
This is how it is in Norway - and the police normally don't carry weapons, only in special cases 😉 The police education is a three-year study at the Norwegian Police Academy. You can then build on that with continuing education in various specialist areas. A bachelor's degree takes 3 years, a master's takes 5 years.
The first two let the driver go as he'd been taken for speeding before and was just really lucky not to lose his license. He's passed two cop cars doing other errands which called it in, but didn't get a read on the speed he was going which is probably why they won't take away his driver's license. They did take the plates of the car as it hadn't met to/passed motor vehicle inspection. I don't think they found anything in the car though. At least the video seen here didn't show it.
the "suspect" drove past a prisoner transport which called him in at excessive speeds, they know he was speeding but because he had slowed down by the time they caught up to him they couldn't prove anything because they need to have a measurement of the speed to take action. In Norway there is a mandatory car inspection every 2 years to insure all cars on the road is safe. the "suspect" car had not been to his inspection which is why they took the plates.
You might want to check the subtitle settings to check if it is actually translating from Norwegian to English, since sometimes it can mess up and try to translate from a different language. Usually the subtitles aren't this messed up.
Norwegians usually never on a regular basis exit their vehicle when Police conduct a Traffic Stop. But you have some people that thinks its a good idea. But there are also some harmless people that get nervous, which make them do weird decisions when police conduct a stop. Its very simple. Stop at the side of the road, wait until the cop arrives to your window and have information about your vehicle and drivers license ready. Then you mostly get away without a hitch. Just like most other countries. If you feel like you are going to stop in a hazzardous place, or if traffic can get obstructed, you can slow down a lot and flash your hazzards to try and tell them that you will stop once safe to do so. (Both a Police Officer and My Semi-Truck Driver Instructor told me this was the right thing to do when i asked them if it was okay to do so) If you already stopped you can ask them if you can move to a safer location. This is to ensure your, their and others safety. Cooperating with police in Norway often leads to good scenarioes. Either drive away, warning or a small ticket. But obviously we have some police officers in Norway that are way in over their head. But thank god they are few. And i guess any country with law enforcers has that lol. To keep it short: Be calm, be polite and be honest, even if you did something wrong. Then police over here most of the time will let you off easily.
You should react to the pursuit after a scoter in Oslo. Maybe the most dramatic pursuit video from norway. The video is titeled "Væpnet ran i gullsmedbutikken 29. Juli 2019"
10:23 basically he is lucky to not lose his licence to drive , a stern warning, why he was allowed to drive the car to some gas station or something I guess had to do with that they just exited a tunnel and cause of safety reasons Police escorted him to nearest gas station or where you could drive off and park, I guess key thing had to do with 1 his speed, 2 the licence plate was expired, but I do belive he got to pay a heavy fine or something but they telling him he's lucky to get to keep licence cause of a warning on how many "strikes" you got on licence or whatever
The thing is that they had no proof of his speed. No police had seen him drive recklessly, just civilians calling. They chewed him out for his driving and told him that he was super lucky that noone had measured his speed, which is needed if they are to fine him for driving too fast. So they had to let him go, as he had not done anything but speeding
There is Strict Rules/laws for who can and who can not have gun's, and how people carry/move them. While some guns are easier to get than other like hunting shotguns, and hand guns are incredibly hard to get.
I may be wrong but tax was mantioned in the first one and when they wentt o the second location the officer seemed to remove the licence plates from the car. So i assume as the car wasnt taxedthey made sure it couldnt be riden. Just a guess
He was speeding near a prison transport and got reported and then stopped by the police. The car should have been to mandatory technical control (that all vehicles needs to do) and that is the reason they take the plate of the car.
its not normal to get out of the car when being stopped by police in Norway, but they will not throw a fit and be afraid like in USA or draw guns. But its more normal to be sitting in the car and turning it off Greetings from Norway
It is very rare Norwegian police have to use force to get a car to pull over. This happened in a city 10-15 minutes away from, and the rumors says he was so shocked about the force the police used by driving into the him that he just pulled over.
I think maybe it is a part of American culture that you "can do anything", even get away in a police chase, while in other parts of the world people are still capable of realizing when they are in over their head.
on that first video they didnt find anything,maybe thought they were under the influence? (if i said that right) of something, they had been driving really fast, when they ran the licence of one the driver he had been caught speeding many times before, just gave him a strict warning only
Here in Norway, the police normally do not carry guns. Only in special situations. Also the public knows this. So the possibility of it becoming a gun fight is very low.
Chase 2: At first they let him go to avoid accident. After being hit once he seems to give up. If someone is on a run after an armed robbery the police will take their guns out, but in any other situation there's no chance of them meeting a person with a gun.
Im from Austria and got no clue of Norwegen police, but its safe to say that there are 6 years more of edication and profession in this car than in an US one... 2 Cops together in Europe have the hours of education compareable to a American lawyer & pschologist & millitary guy. For example, the one guy in the car backs up the 'nice cop' and wont mess around in case. Secondly the officer has the right hand casually over the teaser and also ready to defend or Punch and his left hand says "hi, nothing to fear" if he cooperates, but wanders to the back of his belt if the suspect shows aggressive behavior. Like this the suspect cant get any tell, if he just moves his arm a little or grabs his peper spray or takes out his gun when his arm comes forward or simply pulls out his pen or something. The main goak has to be deescalation of course, but this cops are sharp af.
the car is not registered and at 10:00 the police say that they have not measured their speed, but they know that he has been driving too fast. an unmarked police car saw them before the first stop.
funny story a friend of mine lost his driver's license because he was driving way too fast but they let him drive the car home without a driver's license so sometimes the police in Norway are nice but now you also have to remember that the police officers you are watching now know that they are on TV . there has been a lot of violence from the police in recent years, so now it will be like in the USA where the police have to wear body cameras
In Norway you can’t t just go to a store and buy a gun, you have to have a gun license and you have to go to courses to get it. Also it is only allowed to use guns in shooting ranges and for hunting. Hope this helps ;)
to explain it they got a message form the ppl controling the road camera they spoted on there camera a car in high speed. they did not chase it but they did try to get there fast as posible. the car came a bit suprisingly on the police so they had no chance to make any laser mesurment on the speed so they did stop him give him a warning. when they stop cars in norway they say the plat number to the polic data center and they check the car. in this case the care was marked as not completed the EU controll that car need to pass to be on the road in norway. so they told him drive to a gas station your car will be unregistrated and we will take your plates. and they also said u are super lucky we didetn get a mesure on the speed since then u had lost your driving licence.
the police in scandinavia has an more friendly and helpful encounter towards people, I believe it has alot to do with the differance when it comes to weapons, like in america everybody has a gun, but in sweden its only hunters and cops.
one of the reasons people stop instead of trying to escape is that the fines for everything trafical is CRAZY. and you loose your license for almost nothing, from 3 months to 5 years/life. And if a driver gets away from a chase, they punish the owner of the car, they dont need proof of who was driing the car at the time. Us in norway is very aware of the risk/reward about police
If I am remembering correctly, Police in Norway can't just walk around with guns. They only bring them if they know/suspect that the suspect is violent, or has weapons. ... though as you might have seen, they do have sticks.

"In America you can get shot for getting out of your car". We'll let that one sink in for a minute.
Well it's because people in america shoot anything anywhere.
How many Norwegian cops die from firearms in Norway compared to the US?
Maybe there is a reason cops don't want you to jump out of the fucking car?
In the US it takes 3-5 months of training in most states to become a police officer, a lot of that time is spent on shoot to kill practice.
In Norway it takes 3 years of school, a lot of that time is spent on deescalation.
Police school is 4 years and after that its 2-3 years training in police and the police almost never go whit loaded guns the ammo is locked in a safe in the car so the police never uses a firearm unless it is very very critical situasjon
@@ApolloNorwayforlife Wrong. Police school is a 3 year BA, second year being a part of a patrol unit working the streets. After that you need to apply for job openings like anybody else.
As a Norwegian, those were the most horrible subtitles in history, they made no sense 😂 I feel your confusion!
I think the subtitles thought the Norwegian was English
It was bad translation.
Mi to😂
Same
‘Twas NO translation, it was auto generated subtitles with the machine interpreting Norwegian words and phrases (making words out of sounds it recorded) into complete gibberish 😅
The training period for a police officer in Norway is 3 years. The police are there to serve the public not at war, with them because most Norwegians are not armed. There is an element of trust in Norwegian society unlike in America
He had been speeding, but since the police offisers didn't register the speed he got off with a warning. In Norway you have to have a technical/mechanical check on your car every 2 years. This secures safe and secure cars on the road. If you don't follow up and get the car approved, the police get the information and will stop you and remove your plates. (Which is why they did that in the video)
dont forgett he drove past 2 sivil police cars but he drove to fast
@@hebalottIn the US they often ticket people for speeding even though they have no radar or laser reading. I have never heard of cops doing that in Norway, because they will probably lose in court.
You can't reliably gauge a car's speed by sight, but I'm sure someone got convicted in the US on that "evidence" alone.
The bi-annual motor vehicle check is called an "EU control", to see whether or not the car performs to EU standards.
Not European, but European Union.
For any non-Europeans.
@@AudunWangen you can if you match their speed. since cop cars have speedometers that are certified accurate. different to normal cars that are usually 3-6kph off. but yeah, sight alone isn't enough evidence. and in norway by the time they get a speed reading from matching your speed their radar (which we saw on their roof) has already clocked you.
They also mentioned something about how many warnings the driver had already gotten, suggesting the possibility of having their license revoked. And one of the policemen noted that he could smell the heat off the car, suggesting the driver had been driving incredibly fast. Other than that, there was either poor audio in the recording or in the video file as much of the speech just sounded like mumbling.
Many years ago i bought a used car. On the way back from Ski to Oslo one of the wheels fell off. In the middle of the night. A police patrol stopped to find out what was going on. I had been to a birthday celebration so i was wearing nice clothes. The police offered to drive me and my brother to the nearest train station. One of the officers said " we can see you are good taxpayers so just jump in". While driving they got a call about some situation, turned on the blue lights and sirens and was speeding up. That was very cool. Later they drove us to the nearest train station and even apologized for not driving us all the way home. 👍
that sounds so fun!
I have only had some mild speeding tickets where the sign was hard to see, but recently we got pulled over. The situation was that my mom was backing out of a parking spot and she don't like to have her seat belt on when she has to turn around to see. The police drove by. I laughed and told her uh-oh, hope they did not see your seat belt was off those three seconds. So we drove on our merry way for a whole while, and suddenly the police car came with the lights on and all. I could not hold my laughter and told him that we were joking about it when we saw them. He started chuckeling too, and just reminded us to put it on next time even on the parking lot.
Remember one thing. We dont have any policemen killed by drivers in Norway in last 40 years. Last time a cop was killed was in a robbery, and we talking 20 years pluss years ago. To be police in Norway is very safe.
also, there is a lot of training (3 years of it, compared to the around 3-8 months in the US) so if they end up in a dangerous situation, they know what to do.
@@m4rt_ True. They are trained to be a true police who is nice to people.
partly because they have to take a 3 year long bachelors degree with a lot of training, 7800 hours total to be exact and then a trial period with a "parent" don't know what it would be called. not supervisor but like someone that's supposed to take you under their wing before they're off "alone" (although always in pairs, unlike America where many cops have to be on patrol solo) and unlike American cops the police here have training by the military, and train with the military. during my service where my primary job was to ensure and provide good quality training for our homeguard. I also worked with the local police a lot. its a tight knit cooperation and well lets just say I know they are well trained for their job. not just because the criminals are safer. some aren't
@@elementalgolem5498 Have been stopped many times bc my early working hours, and have never had bad contact with police. They are allways nice. As u mention, good education is the deal. Its not totally safe to be a police, but what i said its safer to be a police in Norway compare to USA. Appx 200 police get killed each year in usa, and that is 3 in year in Norway. We dont even have that number. That is my point. Police have sometimes dangerous jobs in Norway too, oc. Police actions at Utøya in 2011 showed that.
It's getting worse in some parts of Norway with increased immigration and the crimes that follows.
The first story: The police officer says it's a young guy driving his fathers car and how he can't prove the high speed because he's driving behind him with the lights on. He just wanted to stop the crazy driving. Then he discovers the car has an outstanding bill and is required to be reposessed, is that the word. They are suppose to take the license plate on the car for outstanding bills on permits etc.
The boy already has 6 dots in his drivers license, he will soon be a pedestrian, he gets a warning. This boy is in serious trouble, but with his father not paying his bill either. Not the best role models I suppose.
not reposessed, they only took the plates due to an outstanding technical control (EU- kontroll). this does in no means not mean they lose possesion of the car
@@NordicGrizz_2 Yes, I agree, they still had the car, but there was some outstanding requirements, EU checks sounds about right.
Decomissioned. Repossessed is when a vehicle get taken back to its originating dealership because an owner could pay Loan fees. (But the Word Repossess can be used in many other terms aswell)
That car had its scheduled EU-Maintenance check over due. Thats why the police decomissioned it.
I see you are Norwegian aswell. So you know the rest how our systems work lmao.
@@midtzzz5273 I live in Oslo, haven't had a car for 20 or 30 years. It's just an expensive hassle in the middle of Oslo lol
First pair of cops you've actually reacted to, they're the guys that took in the drunk that kicked one of them
06:00 Norway is safe enough that the police are required to leave their firearms secured inside the trunk of their car, because there's very few situations a cop in Norway will encounter where using a firearm would be required to do their job. I do think they are allowed to carry tasers now, though, and a foldable baton thing, if I'm not mistaken, but even the taser isn't permitted to be used willy nilly.
taser has a lot more rules than the firearms even infact. basically, you can only deploy the taser if you would've been permitted to use the gun too. say a person with a knife. and it depends, at times police are armed 24/7 it's all to a ongoing risk assessment. same as the military. at times the military starts to drive around armed. at others they have the guns locked away or don't have ammo onboard.
I have to say you make America look really good by being as humble and open minded as you are. Respect. I can say you would feel very much at home in Norway - except for the food prices, off course.
I’m a dual citizen, and have been since birth. Born and raised mostly in Norway. There used to be a huge difference in prices, but when I visited the States this spring, I noticed that inflation has really taken a toll on the U.S.; prices are almost the same as in Norway, yet we have a much higher minimum wage here in Norway. That being said, our food is of higher quality, almost making Norwegian food prices lower than in the U.S. (if you were to buy organic / high quality food there). Restaurants are way more expensive in Norway, though.
13:36 they cancel the chase because the suspect almost ran over a person
Norwegian police officers in general don't have to be afraid to get shot during routine work, hence the more relaxed attitude
Steeping out of the car like that is a red flag to police officers in Norway too. Not necessarily a sign of danger, but a sign that he may be trying to hide something and dont want the police to look inside the car.
Always look at what people look away from, walk away from or otherwise seem to want to get away from, either with look or movement.
You can tell a lot by behavior, much of which is taught at police schools in Norway and in Europe in general.
A short summary of the car chase is that the car was caught speeding by another team. The reason the police isn't as alert that is because of the reason for the chase. The driver was a youngester with his dad's car. The car had also not been yearly checked up so the license plate had become invalid (if i interpreted it right). They drove to the gas station and the police looked at his driving and commenting the high speed and the smell from it. The license plate got taken of because it was expired/invalid and the driver got a warning called a dots (prikker) of 3 dots and have now 6 out of 8 warnings. If he get 8/8 dots during 3 years he will get his driverlicense suspended for 6 months. He probably got a fine too.
Video 2: speeding and bad driving through a dense and populated area where the driver's behavior can give serious consequences. The driver doesn't stop while being chased and the police got a tip that the driver are probably very drunk. They see the car is driving to the town center so they decide to force stop the car. They are more "agressive" due to the higher risk he/she poses and because they didn't pull over = higher risk in resisting.
Those videoes is simply about two dumb people driving stupidly, not criminals that want to terrorise the country. They will pull over in the end. And the police doesn't need to esculate the problem by being overly paranoid. I believe they are trained to be alert without having to hold a taser in the hand. Guns are also not used unless absolutely necessary. Besides, you can find out who the owner of the car is with the license plate, so even if you out run the police, the will just wait near your home or track the car in other ways.
As an addition on the second Video.
They saw the driver almost hitting a pedestrian in one of the narrow streets.
(And I am speculating, but I'm guessing this is why the police were aggressive even after they had stopped.)
The second town is Arendal, which has a lot of old, preserved buildings in a hilly terrain. The streets are therefore very narrow in many places. This is the same town that received the most snow during the heavy snowfall this winter. You can only imagine how difficult it is to remove so much snow in a short time when the roads are so narrow and there is nowhere to tip the snow. Everything has to be driven away by truck if it doesn't melt away in the meantime.
I thought this was in Skien...
@@gunnhildk6299 I am not familiar with Skien, but the church in Skien is similar to Trefoldighet church in Arendal, except that the church in Skien has two spires. Trefoldighet church in Arendal has one spire, which you can clearly see in the video. You can also see Arendal stasjon, Gymnaset, Kulturhuset, Agderposten etc.
Police dont carry guns here unless there is something highly specual, and people in general dont have guns or weapons here. So that's probably why things are more "slack" in Norway.
Actually our police now days are more often armed than not on several occasions due to alt right radicalism and terrorism against Muslims, LGBTQ+ etc. If any major public event… at least if you compare to how it used to be back in the day. Then again we were still utterly naive of the fact that these things were yet to take place on Norwegian soil.
That was a long time ago. Now they are almost always armed when they are responding. Normally the patrol cops, the ones walking, riding, cycling, driving around don't carry guns, but they are not unarmed.
They do anounce they are arming the police.
You are very wrong if you think we don't have guns here. in fact Norway was ranked #17 in the world of guns per capita in 2017. 28.3 guns per 100 people. The difference is we use guns for hunting animals, not to protect ourselves from people like our neighbour or the police.
@@vvrathhps there is only one reason Norwegians dont use guns for self-defence. The lawmakers where very clever and made it illegal to protect yourself.
Number of guns sounds right. Not many in the cities (obviously) but outside and especially the countryside is loaded. Most places you will find at least one gun in every other house.
Once me and my sister in law was sitting in my car late night. Talking about the party (non alcohol party) we had been in. We talked for 30 min turning 1 hour😂 The police passed us twice and 3th time they stoped and askd if we were nurses. No we was not. Then they asked if everything was ok. We just told the truth that we had been to a ladies party and was full of gossip. They laugth and drowe on😂
I have been stopped a few times in control to see if I am drunk! But no. The police men have even had time for a little chat here too.
Police training in Norway is a three-year vocational training offered at the Norwegian Police Academy. You go to school for a year before doing a year of practice in a police or sheriff's district. In the last year you are back at school. The study gives you a bachelor's degree
Norwegian police do not carry guns in general. They do have guns in their car - but it is locked up in the car and they need to call in and get permission to get the guns out.
Even tho gun density is relatively high in Norway - most guns are hunting related - and there is no culture (or legality) of carrying guns around in public.
This means it is relatively rare that the police encounter armed criminals...and they do not have the same fear as US police, when encountering or stopping a criminal. Ever see the video of the US police officer unloading his gun at his own car after an acorn falls on his car and he thinks the criminal locked up inside has started firing at him....?
Looking from the outside US police seems mostly interested in protecting their own lives instead of the population..at any cost.
the end of the second video "get out of the car, remember the handbrake!" xD
'
the difference between norway and the usa is that in norway is that norway has stricter control of weapons, so we don't have the same problems that you in the usa have
I hear people say that, but I'm not sure it's that different for most states, actually.
1. Both Norway and most states in the US require a background check.
2. There's no federal requirements for firearms training, but some states have that as well, especially for concealed carry permits. It is required in Norway.
3. You need to demonstrate a legitimate reason to own a gun in Norway, but in practice I believe you only need to be a member of a gun club and participate in a few competitions or training.
4. Gun ownership is limited to hunting rifles, shotguns and certain hand guns in Norway. I believe some states in the US also have regulations preventing some types of firearms.
One thing is for sure. The government doesn't like people owning guns, so if you have one and carry it, you will most likely be harassed by police, even though you carry and own it lawfully.
@@AudunWangen not sure where you got the last peace of police and government caring as much.
unless you show a disregard for travel safety while transporting a gun or brandishing it in any way it's like any other person on the street's
@@AudunWangenThere is no federal requirement for firearm training in Norway for owning a gun.
You do need to take the "hunters-exams" before allowed to hunt with firearms. And that's about it.
@@JoriDiculous I guess I worded myself clumsily. The hunters exam requires you to be able to hit some targets and take a written test. To get a license for sport shooting, you need to be an active member of a gun club. Most gun clubs require you to take a safety course before you are allowed to shoot there. You can also get permission if you're a gun collector. I'm not sure if that requires anything else.
@@AudunWangen That's sounds more correct.
I had an american friend visiting in the 70’s. Told her to meet me at the harbourside. She was hysterical when I met her, because police had talked to her. Just checking if she was ok. It took me decades to understand she was actually afraid of police. I have been travelling a lot since then and learned .
In Norway becoming a police officer equals a three year bachelor degree, and then there are courses you can or sometimes must take afterwards depending on where you end up or what you want to do.
In short, another patrol radioed them about a car because of "grisekjøring" which translates to "pig driving", which means driving like a fool, typically at high speed and attempting drifting and burnouts and things like that. The police then used the words "koste på" about going after this car, and this translates to "sweeping on", which means to hurry on, or going fast.
I am German, but I learned some Norwegian, so I understood most parts of it.
They got the info via radio that a car was driving at a high rate of speed on E6 and catched up with this car to stop it. They were not able to measure the vehicles actual speed, so they had not enough evidence to write him a ticket for the speed. But they were able to run the plates through their systems and it came back that the registration expired due to the fact that the car didn´t pass the last safety inspection which is required every two years in Norway. So they decided to let the driver go to the next gas station in order to avoid having the car stranded by the road and being a hazard to other drivers in the middle of the night. Once they arrived at the gas station, they seized the plates and gave the driver a verbal warning that he would face more serious consequences if he decided to drive the vehicle again before it has a valid registration.
In Norway it takes 4 years to become and 1 grup officer and takes around 6 years to be a police officer or a politi betjent as we call in in my country
12:04 I lived there when they drove past hah. Arendal is the city.
Ah i was right, i recognized the red cathedral in the back, i dont remember the name, i was living in Grimstad
As a Norwegian I can tell you that usually the police doesn't have a gun with them... And usually Norwegian people doesn't have guns either. Only those who hunt has weapons and those are locked away when not in use for hunting moose or something.
Murica, fuck yeah! What a lovely place to live. I would never set my foot there, i would feel more safe in the middle-east
Automatic CC on RUclips is not going to work for Norwegian. It would have to be manually translated and added to the video.

Love this 😅😍 and I’m a Norwegian living in Norway 🇳🇴, to become a police officer you have to be a calm and collected person, empathetic, to mention a few things, just to become student at the Police Acadamy and its three or four years of study and practice.
... and be in good fysical shape, not as ovrrweight as in USA.
here in Finland police school, training period for a police officer in 2 or 3 years. And its same like Norway, police are here to serve the public, not war.
Explanation for the first chase: He pulled over right when they caught up with him, so the didn't get a measurement of the speed. They tell him that the car's registration is expired. They tell him he was speeding a lot but they didn't get a measure. They took his plates but let him go. He will need to get his car towed to technical control.
The last clip. I was surprised to see a carchase from my hometown. I didn't know about that clip.
In Norway, traffic offenses gives you "marks" on your license, and if you have eight or more marks over a period of three years, your license gets revoked. Serious offenses give a lot of marks and some of those will immediately result in a revoked license, whilst minor offenses give fewer marks. Marks can also accumulate however, so if you are a repeat offender on minor traffic things, you collect more and more points each time and can end up losing your license that way. Since they didn't have a speeding camera that measured HOW fast he had been going earlier there's no direct evidence as such when it comes to his speeding, but other signs like the smell of the engine and the reports kind of gave it away that he had been lead-footed on the gas pedal at some point. He didn't deny it either. The police let him off with a stern warning as a result, as the kid had managed to accumulate six marks already, and told him "you're as close as you can get to becoming a pedestrian", in hopes that he'd wake up and smell the coffee.
most people over here in Norway aren't allowed to get a weapon, me included. our police are trained to prevent damages to people. as a citizen in Norway, we also know that it's pretty much impossible to get away from the police when being chased, so most of us would rather stop as soon as possible, than risking insane fines for attepting to escape
I live in Norway and i was in florida in the usa in the summer im just gona say i am happy i live in Norway and if You do something wrong in Norway You have to see the prison cell it is a own room whit a frigh or a cooler I’m not sure what it’s called I don’t live there but it’s a own room in Norway whit a bed bookshelf and microwave and if you ask you can get a recess outside the prison for a day or two to visit family or other friends.
In Norway, it's a bachelor degree to become a police, and there is 2 regular police schools and 1 for trafic police.. 😊 And we mostly have respect for the police...
Uncle Police is a fact. When I was little our local cop was called uncle Svein.
Police chace is from the tv show... (i'm pretty sure) it was called politijagten and i dont know where it originated, but i think it had a few different spin-offs, we had it here in denmark as well... it was called the same...
A lot of old Norwegian roads tend to follow the terrain, and often are very narrow.
When it comes to weapons, in Norway there are very strict rules for buying a weapon. You MUST be a member of a shooting club, where you must have completed a safety course in the handling of weapons, the storage of weapons, where you are allowed to have weapons in front of you, and how to transport them between the shooting range and your home. And as of today, I think Norway is the only country where a civilian can carry weapons on board a scheduled flight, with a carry permit only. Everyone else must register the journey in advance and which must then cover from where, to where, with permission from the Police, carry permit, club card with photo++++++. And also think the weapon must be locked in a bag or box.
Not norweigan but swedish so didn't understand everything perfectly, but sounded like he was driving over the speed limit which was the main reason they chased him down. And then they also found he was driving an "unregistered" car, as in not allowed in traffic for some reason. He also had several previous warnings. Stopped watching at that point. Mostly the same vibe I get from swedish police and wouldn't be surprised of the same scene happening here.
It's not Norwegian police, but I remember seeing a video of Finnish police transporting a drunk man on a trolley thing (a flat thing with wheels and a handle so you can easily transport boxes, etc)
(The video is called "Finnish police problem solving" btw)
It's worth noting that they did say that the second guy was probably drunk or under the influence of something, thats at least what they talked about.
1. They had feedback on reckless driving but got no measurements of the speed.
It was a request for removal of licence plates due to lack of control.
2. They turned off the siren because the driver became reckless and dangerous. Driver was considered to be drunk and dangerous to others, so they wanted to stop him.
I am Norwegian and this is often normal, but they can be more intense. They were pulling him over becouse he had been driving too fast :) this was for the first guy.
For the second guy: he was drunk
If they knew he had a gun, maybe they would pull out a gun, but if not, they don't need to.
i live acctually 3 minutes from where the second chase started the town name is Arendal in the south of Norway
In the US, almost anyone can have a gun, and can carry it around.
While in Norway it is way more strict, and you have to store it in a way so that it can't be just picked up and used.
The only reason you would have a gun would be that you hunt, or you do competitive shooting (at least that are the only I know of)
So it makes sense that Norwegian police is way more calm about approaching someone.
Same goes with things like knives, it is very limited what knives you can have (essentially just kitchen knives, ones for work if you are a carpenter for example, and hunting related knives or other ones you would use while hiking), and you can't just bring them with you unless you need them for work, hunting, etc. And if you have to bring them to with you in your car, you are supposed to put them in your trunk so you can't just pick it up as you exit the car.
10:27 They found nothing. They didn't really search the car. They were reported in for driving to fast, but they couldn't get a speed reading?, speed measurement or something. They know that he was driving too fast, but without a reading they can't convict him. He was moments away from getting his drivers license revoked, and being fined.
The reasons they take of the license plates is because he has failed to present the car for control. Every two years the cars are called in to control at a licensed mechanic shop and checked to see if it's safe to drive. They will check the brakes, airbags, lights, steering and other things and if they find something that's wrong, then it would be marked, and the owners would have to get it fixed before they are allowed to drive it on the road. If they fail to present it for control or if they don't get it fixed to the correct standard within a certain time limit, then it will get reported and the car marked as not safe to drive. If the police come across one of those cars then the license plates will be removed like it was here. It's important that you are up too date on the control or you might get in trouble with your insurance company. If he had been in an accident then the insurance company might not have paid for the all of the damages.

That must be the most horrible translator LOL
Because it’s automated subs by clicking the CC button below any YT video if available.
@@kilipaki87oritahiti That doesn't automatically follow lol. It depends on the input, like everything else.
In Norway, it’s illegal for civilians to even carry a Swiss Army Knife unless you have a very obvious reason for it (like if on your way to the forest or if you’re on site working in construction). If you’re a gun owner, the gun has to be stored and locked in your house, and the police has to know exactly where you store it. This being said, there’s a lot less threat in general for police officers; a drunk person won’t suddenly pull out a gun or knife, because they (typically) don’t have any on their person.
There’s always the black market, though, and Norway is not excluded. You can get illegal weapons if you know who to ask.
yes, perhaps mentioned of others here. The first situation, they police car did not drive behind the car long enough to measure that they did drive too fast, they got called for car driving reclesly, so they just wanted to stop the dangerous situation.
In the secound situation, the driver is driving while beeing drunk, so he drives a bit from side to side and speeds up and slows down. Perhaps he panics when seeing the police behind him, and the roads therer are narrow as they can be in some of our older smaller villages. That driver almost hits a guy that delivers newspapers or something. So the police asses the situation as to dangerous for the sivilians and dont want to take unesesary risk, They dont want the driver to drive into the senter of the town so they slow down a bit to try make the car in front to not take to much risk. So they stay in distance for a little time until they see a chance to hit the throthles and get close up to it.
You are completely right that most people in norway dont carry guns, some have linces for it as ofc we have hunters and others that are allowed, but they are not allowd to carry guns in public just like that. We have strict rules around it and people with psyciatric background will not be allowed guns normaly.
Its just crazy that in the US so many peoples carry guns for "security" creating a totaly unsecure sosiety. All those guns ofc has the oppostite effect, the poice in norway are allowed to have guns in the back trunk, but they need specialy permit from the sentral station to acctualy take them out.. that will be done if they face dangerous criminals that might carry guns.
Since the subtitles were unhelpful: the first driver was caught speeding, then when the police looked up the registration number they found that the car had not passed a required checkup and had to have its licence plates removed. The driver also already had six marks on his driver's licence, so they were nice enough to only give him a warning and not another mark, which would have meant him losing his driver's licence.
The second is a drunk driver trying to get away from the police.
The driver in the second video was reported to be drunk, which is probably why he gave up after the first hit. One thing Norwegian Police will do, that I'm not sure the American Police will, is break off a chase if it gets too dangerous for innocent bystanders, which actually happened for a brief period in this chase. Just look for the moment the siren is turned off. It's a shame that the subtitles were dragged through Google Translate 200 times more than necessary though.
They stopped him because his car was no longer registered (the license plates were no longer valid).
He had missed some checks to see if his car was still road safe. (You have to check your car every 4 years to see if it is safe, etc)
Also, he was doing some reckless driving. (driving faster than the speed limit)
in norway there is hatred and respectful relations with the police, we respect them and the police respect the people, i think it is very nice to have such a relationship with them😂
Maybe Tyler now can understand how we see The US. Police!
You have at least two danish police officers working in the US. They are also relaxed and friendly "over there" and in Scandinavia we trust in our police (I'm danish)
I must say, I have had a really nice experience with police in America. Friendly and helpful .
This was in Park City Utah, not big city, but still, so very friendly. We even dropped off a Norwegian chocolate at the police station to say thank you.
So had I. I was in New York with a sailing ship moored at Pier 7 at East River during an Operation Sail event. A huge thing. We had an officer from NYPD as a sort of liaison officer. He actually belonged to the mounted police division, riding a horse. Very appropriate combo, horses and sailing ships. We got along very well. I took him for a sightseeing trip on our fullrigger, that wasn't for anybody really. A very nice and released guy. Because of being in company with horse probably. Not with fast cars.
they got a call for this bmw driving recklesly (he was speeding alot over the limit) but they said he was really lucky no one had measured his speed or they would have taken his license.. when they stopped him they said the car was wanted for not having been to the 2 year regular (eu kontrol) control of his car to prove its safe to be driven on the road thats why they took the license plates.
The driver had not payed some tax or something on his car, and thats why they took his plates off. He was also speeding however no one had measuered the speed, so they could not take him for that. The policemen said he was lucky that no one had measuerd their speed.
There are very few handguns in Norway, up north some people might have hunting rifles, and be able to apply for and pay for a license to shoot a deer, or a moose, at some specific geographic area.
2:48 They are trying to catch up with the car that reportedly is driving way too fast. BTW, Norwegian Police Officers have gone to the Police Academy which is college level and a Bachelor’s Degree (3 years schooling), so you are right in that they are very different from most American POs!!! 🤗
It can takes 6 years become a police .
and this is normal police in Norway
VERY few people here have guns (including the police which keep them in their cars), and the few criminals that do seldom use them against the police.
Only eye-opening to an American.
Usually the police do not carry weapons here in Norway! They also have to go to police academy for 3 years
In Norway, it’s kinda like you have to get out but in America you have to stay
lol. We rarely have police chases in Norway, and the first one wasn't one of them either. Norwegian police also learn the fishtail maneuver. I just don't think they actually need to use it very often.
I actually owned an apartment nearby the place where the second driver almost hit that person. The city is called Arendal and the street where the driver almost hit the person is called Hylleveien. It's probably one of the narrowest streets in the city and it's complete madness to drive through that street at such a high speed. I completely understand why the policemen chose to slow down at that point. No need to provoke the driver to drive any faster and possibly endangering more people. Great that they were able to stop him in the end. The perpetrator was a driving under the influence, and I've heard that he was an "acquaintance" of the police with several prior convictions.
The first case: The car was driving too fast, that's why they got pulled over. But, they run the plates on the car and find that the car owner hasn't paid his registration fee. Thus the car is flagged to have it's plates removed.
The police tell the driver that they were lucky that the police didn't have a chance to actually measure how fast they were driving, so the police will not charge them on that.
They didn't find anything. The guy was honestly super lucky just to get his car unregistered.
You gotta Watch tango 38
Why would they assume everybody has a gun? It's not the US! 😂
Yup, cops dont expect that stuff in a lot of countries.. Its funny that yanks need 100 years to finally get this.. 😊
So, the guy had driven by a couple of civilian police cars at high speed. Those two civilian cars weren't equipped for measuring speed, so they reported the car for speeding and a regular car went after them. By the time they caught up the suspects were driving at a normal speed, but they pulled them over regardless. They discovered the car was listed as not having been fully paid for, so the car was listed for having its plates confiscated. The driver was also told he had 6 out of 7 possible black marks on his license already and basically one point away from becoming a pedestrian.
And yup, we don't have guns on average. Basically robbery has a much shorter prison term than armed robbery. And what do you need a gun for anyway? Shoot at the police? Heck no! They'll just shoot back! And if you should happen to kill a police officer? Then you're stuck in prison for murdering a police officer, probably with a "possible hazard to society" label and don't get out even after your sentence is done, unless the board deems you safe.
Basically.. we don't get why American crooks shoot at the police, as being alive is generally better than being dead, yeah?
This is how it is in Norway - and the police normally don't carry weapons, only in special cases 😉
The police education is a three-year study at the Norwegian Police Academy. You can then build on that with continuing education in various specialist areas. A bachelor's degree takes 3 years, a master's takes 5 years.
The first two let the driver go as he'd been taken for speeding before and was just really lucky not to lose his license.
He's passed two cop cars doing other errands which called it in, but didn't get a read on the speed he was going which is probably why they won't take away his driver's license.
They did take the plates of the car as it hadn't met to/passed motor vehicle inspection.
I don't think they found anything in the car though. At least the video seen here didn't show it.
the "suspect" drove past a prisoner transport which called him in at excessive speeds, they know he was speeding but because he had slowed down by the time they caught up to him they couldn't prove anything because they need to have a measurement of the speed to take action. In Norway there is a mandatory car inspection every 2 years to insure all cars on the road is safe. the "suspect" car had not been to his inspection which is why they took the plates.
You might want to check the subtitle settings to check if it is actually translating from Norwegian to English, since sometimes it can mess up and try to translate from a different language.
Usually the subtitles aren't this messed up.
Norwegians usually never on a regular basis exit their vehicle when Police conduct a Traffic Stop.
But you have some people that thinks its a good idea.
But there are also some harmless people that get nervous, which make them do weird decisions when police conduct a stop.
Its very simple. Stop at the side of the road, wait until the cop arrives to your window and have information about your vehicle and drivers license ready. Then you mostly get away without a hitch. Just like most other countries.
If you feel like you are going to stop in a hazzardous place, or if traffic can get obstructed, you can slow down a lot and flash your hazzards to try and tell them that you will stop once safe to do so.
(Both a Police Officer and My Semi-Truck Driver Instructor told me this was the right thing to do when i asked them if it was okay to do so)
If you already stopped you can ask them if you can move to a safer location.
This is to ensure your, their and others safety.
Cooperating with police in Norway often leads to good scenarioes. Either drive away, warning or a small ticket.
But obviously we have some police officers in Norway that are way in over their head. But thank god they are few. And i guess any country with law enforcers has that lol.
To keep it short: Be calm, be polite and be honest, even if you did something wrong. Then police over here most of the time will let you off easily.
You should react to the pursuit after a scoter in Oslo. Maybe the most dramatic pursuit video from norway. The video is titeled "Væpnet ran i gullsmedbutikken 29. Juli 2019"
10:23 basically he is lucky to not lose his licence to drive , a stern warning, why he was allowed to drive the car to some gas station or something I guess had to do with that they just exited a tunnel and cause of safety reasons Police escorted him to nearest gas station or where you could drive off and park, I guess key thing had to do with 1 his speed, 2 the licence plate was expired, but I do belive he got to pay a heavy fine or something but they telling him he's lucky to get to keep licence cause of a warning on how many "strikes" you got on licence or whatever
The thing is that they had no proof of his speed. No police had seen him drive recklessly, just civilians calling. They chewed him out for his driving and told him that he was super lucky that noone had measured his speed, which is needed if they are to fine him for driving too fast. So they had to let him go, as he had not done anything but speeding
There is Strict Rules/laws for who can and who can not have gun's, and how people carry/move them. While some guns are easier to get than other like hunting shotguns, and hand guns are incredibly hard to get.
I may be wrong but tax was mantioned in the first one and when they wentt o the second location the officer seemed to remove the licence plates from the car. So i assume as the car wasnt taxedthey made sure it couldnt be riden. Just a guess
He was speeding near a prison transport and got reported and then stopped by the police. The car should have been to mandatory technical control (that all vehicles needs to do) and that is the reason they take the plate of the car.
In norway it is a rule that you have to drive to the side, if the police come behind you
its not normal to get out of the car when being stopped by police in Norway, but they will not throw a fit and be afraid like in USA or draw guns. But its more normal to be sitting in the car and turning it off
Greetings from Norway
It is very rare Norwegian police have to use force to get a car to pull over. This happened in a city 10-15 minutes away from, and the rumors says he was so shocked about the force the police used by driving into the him that he just pulled over.
I think maybe it is a part of American culture that you "can do anything", even get away in a police chase, while in other parts of the world people are still capable of realizing when they are in over their head.
on that first video they didnt find anything,maybe thought they were under the influence? (if i said that right) of something, they had been driving really fast, when they ran the licence of one the driver he had been caught speeding many times before, just gave him a strict warning only
Here in Norway, the police normally do not carry guns. Only in special situations. Also the public knows this. So the possibility of it becoming a gun fight is very low.
Chase 2: At first they let him go to avoid accident. After being hit once he seems to give up.
If someone is on a run after an armed robbery the police will take their guns out, but in any other situation there's no chance of them meeting a person with a gun.
Im from Austria and got no clue of Norwegen police, but its safe to say that there are 6 years more of edication and profession in this car than in an US one... 2 Cops together in Europe have the hours of education compareable to a American lawyer & pschologist & millitary guy. For example, the one guy in the car backs up the 'nice cop' and wont mess around in case. Secondly the officer has the right hand casually over the teaser and also ready to defend or Punch and his left hand says "hi, nothing to fear" if he cooperates, but wanders to the back of his belt if the suspect shows aggressive behavior. Like this the suspect cant get any tell, if he just moves his arm a little or grabs his peper spray or takes out his gun when his arm comes forward or simply pulls out his pen or something. The main goak has to be deescalation of course, but this cops are sharp af.
the car is not registered and at 10:00 the police say that they have not measured their speed, but they know that he has been driving too fast. an unmarked police car saw them before the first stop.
funny story a friend of mine lost his driver's license because he was driving way too fast but they let him drive the car home without a driver's license so sometimes the police in Norway are nice but now you also have to remember that the police officers you are watching now know that they are on TV . there has been a lot of violence from the police in recent years, so now it will be like in the USA where the police have to wear body cameras
In Norway you can’t t just go to a store and buy a gun, you have to have a gun license and you have to go to courses to get it. Also it is only allowed to use guns in shooting ranges and for hunting. Hope this helps ;)
to explain it they got a message form the ppl controling the road camera they spoted on there camera a car in high speed. they did not chase it but they did try to get there fast as posible. the car came a bit suprisingly on the police so they had no chance to make any laser mesurment on the speed so they did stop him give him a warning. when they stop cars in norway they say the plat number to the polic data center and they check the car. in this case the care was marked as not completed the EU controll that car need to pass to be on the road in norway. so they told him drive to a gas station your car will be unregistrated and we will take your plates. and they also said u are super lucky we didetn get a mesure on the speed since then u had lost your driving licence.
the police in scandinavia has an more friendly and helpful encounter towards people, I believe it has alot to do with the differance when it comes to weapons, like in america everybody has a gun, but in sweden its only hunters and cops.
In Norway we have a very string wepon low.You must have a licence and a clean record
one of the reasons people stop instead of trying to escape is that the fines for everything trafical is CRAZY. and you loose your license for almost nothing, from 3 months to 5 years/life. And if a driver gets away from a chase, they punish the owner of the car, they dont need proof of who was driing the car at the time. Us in norway is very aware of the risk/reward about police
If I am remembering correctly, Police in Norway can't just walk around with guns.
They only bring them if they know/suspect that the suspect is violent, or has weapons.
... though as you might have seen, they do have sticks.
