@@annina134 If I recall I think it was a dobermann and it got loose while my father was in another city nearby. Somebody called the cops on it and they tried to reach my father and he said he couldn't make it there yet so they shot it, put it in a bag and asked later if my father wanted to come get it or they'll just throw it in the trash or something like that.

I saw a documentary a long time ago about police forces in different European countries, several episodes were from Finland. I felt that Finnish police seems like really helpful, polite and calm. Often dealing with really drunk people but still calm, kind and gentle. I remember two police men - both 2 meters tall - taking care of an elderly drunk couple in an apartment somewhere in Helsinki, they were sooo sweet. Correct me, you Finns, if you think I'm wrong (I'm Swedish)
As a Finnish person, i can say that Polices in Finland, not use force or/and gun, if they don't need to, and always, they have to find first more calm, polite, etc. way to deal with things, if there is a chance to do so. Like, they have combat training, they have guns that can kill, etc. but they rarely use those, because they don't need to, because we know that, if we try to fight against police (for some reason), we gonna lose in the end, we want to deal things in calm way (raising your own blood pressure is not always good for your health), and resisting official authority is a crime in Finland. So it's like a team work, but there is always someones, that need to, put in a bundle, and get on the police car. But, reality is also that, that rarely, there has been police officers, that have done crime/crimes. On example, is this news article (in Finnish language), about one Finnish police officer: www.iltalehti.fi/uutiset/a/2014120418891279 . Title of this article in English is: The police threatened the young man with violence - he was fired. (You can copy news text to translater, and in text, there is this word "v***u", and that is Finnish swearword)
They just saw the hedgehog so they saved it. But it is illegal to abandon a pet in Finland so there should be no stray animals. So if people see a cat in the parking lot then it is a reason to call the police. Now we have a different organisation that handles animal rescues but that is quite resent. Also it is not a waste of their time if they don't have any other calls so why wouldn't they help animals? This is not New York you know. The police do have time when they don't have any calls.
Pajatso is a Finnish word for a specific type of older slot machines, and it is indeed quite often used in this context as well 😂 There are no stray animals in Finland, and animals are very dear to most Finns, so using police resources to help animals is very much approved by the public, often they don't have anything better to do anyway
In fact, there are many feral cat herds in Finland, for example. However, they are mainly in the countryside or on the outskirts of cities, stray animals are less often seen in the city.
True, but even those are temporary outbursts from an escaped/abandoned cats, and since they breed fast can build a small pack in the forests before anything can be done to them. They are very different from the permanent stray presense of cats and dogs in many other countries, especially in cities
1:30 Yes and it's not waste of time. We need to take care of the most vulnerable in this world. That includes animals. Today I saw a blackbird that flew straight into a car. I immediately went outside and it's wing looked like it got hurt and it run under some stone pallets. I called 112 and they sent a police patrol. We couldn't get the bird out so now I'm waiting for the animal rescue from Helsinki rescue department to arrive.
2:00 But it's different here in Helsinki region and other bigger cities compared to the countryside. In Lappeenranta my dog bite a hedgehog and when I called the emergency services there they just told me to take a piece of wood or a large rock and kill it and throw it far enough to not be seen from the walking path. I did it, but my hands were sore for the rest of the day and I was really upset. In Helsinki I only had to kill a small bird which was too badly hurt to be saved and even then they asked really carefully and said that I don't have to do it but for the animal rescue to arrive would take couple of hours so it would be better for the bird if I could.
I heard that in Åland, the island between Finland and Sweden, they have so few crime that they reported in the newspaper that someone’s washing line had been stolen. That was the biggest news.
Native from Åland here, I do not remember this specific story but we do have some quite funny front page headlines sometimes, like when the entire front page of the local paper was about a cat that was the first cat in Åland to get a leg amputated or something like that 🤣
I work as a journalist and the reports from Åland police have been the nicest police reports I have ever read. They had this policy to write everything in the reports, even all small stuff that happened. Mostly nothing bad happens there. Once the police was called to check a "injured" crow. After checking the bird they concluded it was just a young bird that acted in a stupid manner (young crows can be really stupid & really bad flyers). The police told the people who had called it in that there was nothing to worry about. Once they reported this: "Last night there was not much to do, so the police spent a lot of time at the gym".
I have to say. As a Finn we might seem like very serious people. But our humor can be pretty good if you are used to some dry or darker humor :) Also we are very tend to be very animal friendly so we do stop if there animal in need of help.
Yes, finnish police actually help also animals. But of course animals are not priority one. People come first and if the time permits, animals are also helped. After all, they protect and serve.
There is more severe crimes sometimes, but I guess a majority of police cases involve alcohol some way, like calm drunken people fighting, or drunken people doing stupid things like breaking stuff etc, that police has to sort things out. For the police -tv show they have picked the more unique or funny cases like animal missions. Quite rarely police has to use guns, especially shooting at people, it's like once a year, if that.
I remember one American TV show about tattoo artists who made new tattoos over old, bad tattoos that people had. The was one elderly woman who had a tattoo above her butt that read "insert coin here", and an arrow pointing down. She wanted to get rid of it because her grandchildren found it embarrassing.
Most commonly police have to deal with the wild Finnish walruses laying on the streets, they mostly run into these wild beasts during the summer when it's warmer but finding them passed out in the snow is not that rare. Usually poking them awake and telling them to head home to sleep fixes the situation but sometimes they have to be taken to drunk tank to clear their heads over night. These walruses then in the morning get to make the walk of shame home, back to their partner's care.
Yes here in Sweden we use to ask them with their ass crack out and about if they have a coin to put in the back so we can pull the arm and then see what we won :D Do not say that to some stranger though you have been warned :D
Back in the days there were payazzo slot machine almost almost everywhere. The object in that is to get your coin to a slit to win the coins on that stack. They were refering to that when they talked about the slot machine. It is a common saying to say "pajatso näkyy" or "payazzo is visible" in english to refer to an ass crack. I am a bit embarrased to admit but when I was at school there was this boy whose ass crack was almost always visible. People bullied him by trying to throw small paper balls to his payazzo. Then ppl bragged by telling how many payazzos they had gotten. I think he might have been a bit autistic which makes me feel even worse about it but yeah, everytime I see a payazzo that pops to my mind.
I remember one such pajatso from my high school. People did throw something there but I don't recall any bragging afterwards. While writing this comments, I remembered one time when a teacher bent over to help a student and revealed his pajatso right in front of a blonde girl. She turned away to look at us classmates and had a hard time not bursting into laughter. No one threw anything into the slot that time. The teacher wasn't the sharpest tool in the box but he was a kind guy. We can thank and blame clothes designers for the low waist jeans and short T-shirts that give us these sights.
The Finnish polis does there work better then most countries in scandinavia so they have more time over to just help and protect all living, And yes they are ordinary people to and fun.But dont brake the law because they wont be fun anymore.
The slot machine is really accurate but we also call it "työmiehen aurinko" wich means " worker mans sunshine" because when you look at that crack when like plumber is kneeled down etc you wana look away right away ^^
The crack is also called ”työmiehen viiva” which can be translated as ”workman’s line”. This slot machine thing in the video is hilarious. Finnish police, Finnish humor. 😂
By the slot machine they mean a pajatso which is a traditional Finnish Slot machine where you try to get the coin to bounce into the right port. You get the biggest win from the middle gate. There are registers on the edges, so-called resuports, from which you can only profit when they are full.
Usually in our Nordic countries we typically also don't always have very violent crimes, obviously they still occur but probably not as much as in the UK which in a UK police perspective it might be a waste of resources for police to do animal protection services
I think Brits and Finns have somewhat similar sense of humour. Lots of deadpan / dry humour, wordplay, sarcasm. Maybe that's why this works for you as well =)
My top 2 encounters with police: 1) I was delivering Morning paper, when I saw two officers assisted a guy who had his pants down into the van. The last thing I heard before entering the next apartment building was ”En oo ottanu mitään mömmöjä!”(I haven’t taken any drugs). My personal thoughts: ”Suuure.” 2) Mom got pulled over when we were driving home, because the saw her swerving on the road. They used breathalyzer to see if she was drunk. She wasn’t, just tired. Afterwards, they told her to Drive safely and we were on our way again. A little annoying that our return home and into bed was slowed down. Then again, nice to know that our officers take their jobs seriously.
They get calls about pets/animals, because there are no lost pets in Finland. I once tried to search for abandoned dogs for adoption. Found 8 in the country of 5.5 million people. Not much crime either, so the police have to do the jobs that are available. I thing that might a resemble a reason for being one of the happiest countries on earth.
As I recall, you can ride a bike upside down, if you can't stay upright, the police are obliged to stop you. There will be no sanctions It's been years since I rode a bike myself and I tried not to think about it, sometimes I did😅
That's so funny you said that, I've actually called police just because I saw a cat on my way to work which acted a little weird, basicly he moved a little too slowly off the road I was driving in. So I thought there's something wrong with him. The cat was taken to the vet and he was dehydrated and suffering from the heat. This happened in Finland, and to be honest I also pondered a while if it's appropriate to call the police, but I guess it was. Somebody even called back and told what is the situation with the cat.
That is exactly the level of small crime material in Finland, and so much fun :D And Finnish police exceeds the level it should be meet with humor and ridicule. :D Lower crime might be different though (but not much more intelligent :D) Finnish Police protects the animals and the humans
Son in law material is probably reference to Uuno Turhapuro. Movie about a lazy always drinking guy who is a son in law to a rich family, so lots of jokes about that.
Finland is so chill and kinda boring but chaotic at the same time like a weird alternate universe. I live in a pretty small city and while it does have its troubles (minor drug stuff and old drunkards/junkies getting into knife fights with each other) the crime rate is pretty low so the police usually aren't super tense. They have always been helpful and funny to me too, even when I've been a wee drunken menace in the summer myself. My friend calls them "spare dads". The beginning of summer and especially midsummer always comes with a pinch of extra chaos and it's sometimes hilarious to look at people going crazy after the long winter and do dumb drunk shit like the moving slot machine lol. Knowing both, Finns and the Irish have a weirdly similar vibe in how chill and funny they are.
Well, these are not the worst, but definetly more of the funniest "crimes" that police have to deal with. And yes, police do respond on cases of "stray" animals, because yes, vast majority of them do belong to somebody. On the other hand some animals really could cause a disasterous encounters and/or life endargements when entering among human traffic. For sure, that hedgehog could have easily ended up dying yes, but also puncturing a car tyres.
Hedgehog is endangered animal in Finland. If you kill that, you can get fine (100 euro). Police are usually one of our autoritys that supervice natural animals rights.
In finland abandoning an animal that is hurt or in trouble is illegal even if you didnt do anything to it so im not surprised if someone reported it to the police. Also they might have reported it into a non emergency line and the cops went to check it out just because thay had time.
We dont really have good resources when it comes to police force besides in big city (which is also debatable) Country side is usually much more quiet and less missions and in both cities and country side much of the calls are either drunken fights or domestic abuse calls It takes about 3-6 years for you to become a police. And we dont put people to jail easily, they are taught to de-escalate so everyone can go on their separate ways or drunk tank if need be Im in no way an expert on this matter so take this with a grain of salt
Norway Sweden and Finland are some of the safest countries. Police there has 'less to do' so to speak. My personal experience having spent some time in Sweden is this: You have like 3 big cities... Cities bigger than you usually find them in The Netherlands. Outside of those cities its all hills/mountains and forests and lakes. I took a train from Stockholm to Mora (a small city but one of the biggest in that region of Sweden). The sights out of the train were amazing. It was just nothing but nature. We'd stop and there would be a train station, at most 10 houses and then nothing but forest. A lot of the stops were like that. Outside of the bigger cities police in Sweden doesn't have 'much of a job'. Nobody gonna be a bad actor in the small towns. Of course there will be the exception etc but the Nordic countries are awesome. So it makes sense that they are also given animal related calls to handle. There'd be nothing to do otherwise is my guess.
Sweden is not safe. It is the most violent country in europe, because all immigrant gangs. They fcked up big time. Here in Finland we don't want that kind of shit.
While obviosly police here do have important duties it does not exclude animals and other what people would consider to be minor and insignificant. The job can and is not limited to dealing with bike driven slot machines that is a old reference to a particular slot machine that took quaters. All around finnish police deal with a lot of calls that might not be related directly their job or purview.
1:42 maybe a waste of time but what else are you going to do? Drunkards mostly need taxi service during the evening and nights so might as well go save some hedgehogs to kill time.
Well the crime rate is so low that if the police didn't get animal cases, they would get bored and start inventing crimes. Honestly it's a very good thing.
Naah people would just do nothing or take the hedgehog and move it. I have moved I don't know, like 3 hedhodges from not so safe places. There is not That much like serious crime in Finland that they do have time to answer to all kinda calls, especially in bigger and smaller towns. There is just couple places that could be Really considered a city by global standard.
This is a Finnish Tv show, that doesn't show what kind of people some of the cops are. For example, a former police officer and whistle blower told that in the 80's - 90's Capitol city cops had a game of "how far can you toss a drunkard from police car and how many point's to get from a injuries for the throw" - This shit, is a propaganda to show people how police act in front of camera to set police force in better light!
To be policeman or police woman in Finland must be somehow funny and seems to be quite a "easy" job. If this is the more or less normal day of the Finnish police they can be quite relaxed. No really dangerous cases, no real severe crimes, though there are in Finland surely too. Finns seem to be a peaceful people. I'm quite they are very seldom forced to use their guns.
My encounters with The Finnish police have all Been negative experiences. Too far when you need them, and in your face when you Want nothing to do with them. Tough Job i guess
Wouldn't you want help if you were stuck in a pot at the side of the road? In fact, hedgehogs don"t live as long as humans so the hedgehogs need should be more urgent!
In Finland the Police is one of the animal protection authorities. They take care of many animal related stuff as well as the normal Police stuff.
And no, it was not a pidgeon. It was a common black-headed gull/laughing gull.

An oldish saying in Finland when someone's naked butt is showing: "Pajatso paistaa" = The slot machine is shining. 😂
That's so funny you said that, I've actually called police just because I saw a cat on my way to work which acted a little weird, basicly he moved a little too slowly off the road I was driving in. So I thought there's something wrong with him. The cat was taken to the vet and he was dehydrated and suffering from the heat. This happened in Finland, and to be honest I also pondered a while if it's appropriate to call the police, but I guess it was. Somebody even called back and told what is the situation with the cat.
That is exactly the level of small crime material in Finland, and so much fun :D And Finnish police exceeds the level it should be meet with humor and ridicule. :D Lower crime might be different though (but not much more intelligent :D) Finnish Police protects the animals and the humans
that papillon video was golden 🤣🤣
Son in law material is probably reference to Uuno Turhapuro. Movie about a lazy always drinking guy who is a son in law to a rich family, so lots of jokes about that.
yes the slot machine joke in that context is quite common lol!
Hi, greetings from the slot machine city, yes its called slot machine or bicycle stand :D
We don't have much crime.. Gotta keep police occupied with something, lol. 😂
Nah it's not a pigeon it's a black-headed gull.
It's called "skrattmås" in Swedish.
Skratt = Laugh.
Mås = Gull.
The MUSHROOM seller man from Estonia was the best Finnish police meeting 😂 it’s the legend video
Finland is so chill and kinda boring but chaotic at the same time like a weird alternate universe. I live in a pretty small city and while it does have its troubles (minor drug stuff and old drunkards/junkies getting into knife fights with each other) the crime rate is pretty low so the police usually aren't super tense. They have always been helpful and funny to me too, even when I've been a wee drunken menace in the summer myself. My friend calls them "spare dads". The beginning of summer and especially midsummer always comes with a pinch of extra chaos and it's sometimes hilarious to look at people going crazy after the long winter and do dumb drunk shit like the moving slot machine lol. Knowing both, Finns and the Irish have a weirdly similar vibe in how chill and funny they are.
cat got arrested LOL
Well, these are not the worst, but definetly more of the funniest "crimes" that police have to deal with. And yes, police do respond on cases of "stray" animals, because yes, vast majority of them do belong to somebody. On the other hand some animals really could cause a disasterous encounters and/or life endargements when entering among human traffic. For sure, that hedgehog could have easily ended up dying yes, but also puncturing a car tyres.
It is absolutely NOT a waste of police resources to help animals in need, quite the opposite! Honestly, even saying that it's a waste.... Awful!
Yes, we Finnish people call ass crack slot machine 😂😂
5:02 Seagull - "Laughter seagull" official name.
BAD goncequences if you fall ,oh noo.🚴♀️🚴♀️🚴♀️🚴♀️☄🌟☄😄🤣
Papillon is a dog breed that has ears kinda shaped like butterfly wings. I think its a french breed
Well, it is more like that Finnish police _has time_ to deal with animals because, well, Finland does not have shootouts to talk about...
Papillon is a dog breed in English but in french it's a butterfly😂
It's completely intentional. In Finnish it's literally a "butterfly-dog" (perhoskoira). The shape of the ears makes it look like a butterfly.
5:01 Pigeon? That's a damn seagull. :|
Hedgehog is endangered animal in Finland. If you kill that, you can get fine (100 euro). Police are usually one of our autoritys that supervice natural animals rights.
The polices time isnt wasted on animal stuff because of how rarely there are any serious crimes being committed
5:02 No. That is gull: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black-headed_gull
In finland abandoning an animal that is hurt or in trouble is illegal even if you didnt do anything to it so im not surprised if someone reported it to the police. Also they might have reported it into a non emergency line and the cops went to check it out just because thay had time.
Laughed my slot machine off / LMSMO
It looks like Finnish police don't have much crime to sort out , meaby some drunk guy now and then.
We dont really have good resources when it comes to police force besides in big city (which is also debatable)
Country side is usually much more quiet and less missions and in both cities and country side much of the calls are either drunken fights or domestic abuse calls
It takes about 3-6 years for you to become a police. And we dont put people to jail easily, they are taught to de-escalate so everyone can go on their separate ways or drunk tank if need be
Im in no way an expert on this matter so take this with a grain of salt
This so Finland ! Wellcome❤
Norway Sweden and Finland are some of the safest countries. Police there has 'less to do' so to speak. My personal experience having spent some time in Sweden is this: You have like 3 big cities... Cities bigger than you usually find them in The Netherlands. Outside of those cities its all hills/mountains and forests and lakes. I took a train from Stockholm to Mora (a small city but one of the biggest in that region of Sweden). The sights out of the train were amazing. It was just nothing but nature. We'd stop and there would be a train station, at most 10 houses and then nothing but forest. A lot of the stops were like that.
Outside of the bigger cities police in Sweden doesn't have 'much of a job'. Nobody gonna be a bad actor in the small towns. Of course there will be the exception etc but the Nordic countries are awesome. So it makes sense that they are also given animal related calls to handle. There'd be nothing to do otherwise is my guess.
Sweden is not safe. It is the most violent country in europe, because all immigrant gangs. They fcked up big time. Here in Finland we don't want that kind of shit.
While obviosly police here do have important duties it does not exclude animals and other what people would consider to be minor and insignificant. The job can and is not limited to dealing with bike driven slot machines that is a old reference to a particular slot machine that took quaters. All around finnish police deal with a lot of calls that might not be related directly their job or purview.
Kyllä naurattaa kovasti 😂 😂 😂
1:42 maybe a waste of time but what else are you going to do? Drunkards mostly need taxi service during the evening and nights so might as well go save some hedgehogs to kill time.
well yes most tasks for finnish police is speeding with vehicle and drunk people
Well the crime rate is so low that if the police didn't get animal cases, they would get bored and start inventing crimes.
Honestly it's a very good thing.
In Finland Police stole my money and two Phones ass well lol this only what they want u to see.
I think they noticed that hedgehog beside the road, I believe that was situation.
we tend to call it... *coin slot* ...but like we say the "coin slot" in english
Like this my Country Police,,👌〰️〰️❇😄
Naah people would just do nothing or take the hedgehog and move it. I have moved I don't know, like 3 hedhodges from not so safe places. There is not That much like serious crime in Finland that they do have time to answer to all kinda calls, especially in bigger and smaller towns. There is just couple places that could be Really considered a city by global standard.
This is a Finnish Tv show, that doesn't show what kind of people some of the cops are. For example, a former police officer and whistle blower told that in the 80's - 90's Capitol city cops had a game of "how far can you toss a drunkard from police car and how many point's to get from a injuries for the throw" - This shit, is a propaganda to show people how police act in front of camera to set police force in better light!
To be policeman or police woman in Finland must be somehow funny and seems to be quite a "easy" job. If this is the more or less normal day of the Finnish police they can be quite relaxed. No really dangerous cases, no real severe crimes, though there are in Finland surely too. Finns seem to be a peaceful people. I'm quite they are very seldom forced to use their guns.
YOu should look at Lapin Poliisit - they are so different and bloody hilarious :) Finnish as well :)
usualy they do take care of the normal pilice stuff but they do take care of animals too
Oh ' poor love cat,,i hope its okay.💞🐱🐈〰️〰️〰️🤔
the dog ran away from the cops like a black dude
My encounters with The Finnish police have all Been negative experiences. Too far when you need them, and in your face when you Want nothing to do with them. Tough Job i guess
Wouldn't you want help if you were stuck in a pot at the side of the road? In fact, hedgehogs don"t live as long as humans so the hedgehogs need should be more urgent!
finnish police funny animal encounters is the video`s name...
"Finnish police funny encounters" do they only get called for animals related stuff?
Im sure these videos are old, because that drunk bicyclist would be pulled over and charged with fine these days.
Safest country in the world has it own safer issues..
Papillon is a French breed of dog.
