That was a fairly normal weekend cyclist in Finland. 🤣
"pull over, stop please"
"can't stop!" :D
@@tubelious CANT STOP WONT STOP UP UP AND AWAY
@@tubelious He would have likely ended up on his face trying to. That speed and the fact that he was barely in control - lol. Probably had to ride the whole drunken state off before he dare to attempt stopping.
its not
@@ImIcterine Bruh, a lad riding a bike home from the bar at night is quite a common occurrence. That's just how it is during summer weekends. At least where I live.
Full translation:
Starts with one of the policemen whispering "justiinsa", which in this context means "Riiight", roughly.
"And the ass is visible." -Bearded policeman
"The payazzo is glaring bright. Have you a coin in your pocket?" -Unbearded policeman
Narration by the bearded policeman; "We saw from afar that someone is curving left and right on the motor road, and when we got closer we saw it's this man on a bicycle. His backside was painfully visible."
"We should ask him how he's doing, shouldn't we?" -Unbearded policeman
"Good day! Are you on a long trek?" -Unbearded policeman
"Yeah yea." -Drunken man
"Get yourself to the bicycle lane from the next crossing!" -Unbearded policeman
"Yeah!" -Drunken man
"Look at that!" and as the man curves "Oh dear dear". -Unbearded policeman
Lot of laughing :D
"The driving of his is dangerously reckless, so we wanted to stop him and tell him to walk it the rest of the way with his bike." -Bearded policeman
"There he comes!" -Unbearded policeman
"Hey, stop for us." -Unbearded policeman, who repeats it with a chuckle.
"Can't right now, really can't!" -Drunken man
Lots of laughs from both sides.
"Oh my heavens." -Unbearded policeman
"Nothing could've stopped that, except maybe a spike strip - or not." -Unbearded policeman
"Well, we have reached our goal, which was to get that mobile payazzo to the bicycle lane." -Unbearded policeman.
"Son-in-law material." -Unbearded policeman
I'm originally from Oulu, and yes, we have loooong bicycle lanes from and to the city centre. As public transport halts for the night, this can happen :D. And yes, this was during the night, during the midnight sun season.
Finnish police are also very effective when needed, they have good training and required to stay in good shape. Good example is the terror attack (stabbing) in Turku that ended within three minutes by police action. In school attack in Kuopio they were also in scene in few minutes and ended the attack.
And about most of all finnish police have military service backgrounds (cos about every men have to join a military service in Finland) 😄
And you know how they ended that Turku attack? One shot in the leg. A legendary feat that has, multiple times, been deemed completely impossible by Internet users from some places in the world. Apparently, it should be a double-tap to the centre of mass and then a headshot. Preferably empty the full magazine.... you might even hit, then!
@@reht1 And at least back in the days you had to be a petty officer to make it into police academy. But that requirement may have retire as discrimination.
@@daliden I mean.. Once you look at police activitys videos you realize that a person can still be a threat after 5 shots to the center mass.
@@eikeksimimea1071 what videos? Are you saying that finnish police has had situations where the custom- suspect has been shot five times to to the center of the mass (belly, no?) I'd be really interested in learning more of these cases.
This also a good example of what good education and training of police looks like, there was no need to be aggressive in approach so only as in most cases soft skills are needed like common sense.
monitoring, Guidance, command, means of force and of course always a possibility of failure to intervene.
Finland has some of the best education on the planet they rival Koreans who study like their life’s depend on it.
less egotripping in finland. i have never been treated unfairly here.
sure, speeding tickets hurt bad in finland - but, thats fine too.
I want to point out that when the police stops me in finland, it always has a purpouse. Maybe they want me to blow into the alcometer. After i have done that, i can continue
on my way, loss of time 60 seconds. Never is there an Arbitrary search, or random agenda going though the cops minds just to fuck up your day...
that i did experience sometimes in germany and seems to be routine in america.
They just dont like your face and start inspecting your car until they find the broken taillight or rust on the exhaustpipe ...
Such i have never seen happening in finnish traffic stops, they process what they stopped you for - and then they wish you a good day. Vehicle safety inspection is left to the annual vehicle safety inspectors. (katsastus) - they dont try to do that job also, unless something is really obviously out of whack.
@@zoolkhan Once police stopped me on my bike because I had blue parklights, they also noticed that I had illegal exhaust and my licence plate was on unreadable angle so they could have taken my licence plate but they just said to cut wires to park lights, change plates angle and gave me small fine with order to go home (I had too light clothing and they didn't want me to get sick)
Also once I drove over the speed limit while overtaking a civil police car and he was sorry for having to give me the fine and take my driving licence for 4 weeks. That was pretty funny when compared how similiar interactions go in other countries
It's also the privilege in working in a very safe country. Cops get killed all the time in the US, therefore it's understandable why they have become so trigger happy themselves. It is extremely rare for a Finnish cop to be in actual danger.
It's a pity that you don't understand Finnish. The comments of those officers are so humorous :D
That is one of the best clips from that Poliisit tv series :D
Parhaat on ne parit Kuopiosta. Ne on lepposia kavereita. 😊
"Slot machine is shining.. Do you have any coins?"
"That's son-in-law material right there!"

few days ago i was hanging around on the street totally drunk. someone called police for me and u know what police did: took me backside of the car and drove me home. thank you again finnish police
happened to my brother too, my mom definitely wasn't so happy with the "free ride" though when he showed up lmao
It is far more expensive to detain a person an the paperwork takes time away from the real policing.
Yup, common sense while acting on duty = free. Acting on a powertrip = money from "TeH TaX pAyErS!!!11!!!" Vai kummispäin se menikää
I once called 112 for a drunk guy but they said if he can stay on his feet they won’t come:/ he was falling constantly but apparently that wasn’t a good enough reason for them to come. I did give him a lot of water to drink and later i saw him standing a little bit better somewhere lol
When I lived in a city, found out drunk guy passed out on side of road with his bike. We turned him around (so he won't choke if he throws up), another woman called emergency line and explained situation. He woke, tried to get on bike, fell again and passes out again. After a while police arrives, rolls down window and asks where he lives.
When drunks are not threat, taking them home (if not busy) is best option. There's way too little police and it would make no sense to take them to detention for the night.
For non-responsive drunks it's either er or detention.
The police: "Stop there😂"
The drunk man: "I can't!"
If he had slowed down, he would have fallen over!
The man didnt be danger too much and listened directions :D Just couldnt stop when they asked, he had momentum going :D
Awsome momentum. 😅
only way to not fall over in that situation is to just go faster and faster until you can't anymore
We were on a little football field on the countryside and some grandma called the police, i guess because we were making noise? tho it was in the afternoon. So two officers showed up and said she calls the police on everyone so we don't need to be worried about it. After that they played football with us a couple of minutes and then left :DD
So I moved to Finland 3 years ago from Canada. What an amazing experience I've had. There are so many cool things about Finland. Although, their language has something like 15 grammatical cases, their language is rated the 3rd hardest to learn in the world. My experience with drinking in Finland has been positive. I lived in Helsinki for 2 years and man... people gather together with their friends in an open field or hill, put down a blanket and drink in public, and not just a few people.. sometimes its hard to find a spot! Even during covid!
The police just casually drive by. Also the police are calm and collected, and do not use excessive force unlike American or Canadian police. The people are peaceful, and respectful towards eachother. I've been to many bars all over this beautiful country, and I've never witnessed any fighting. I can't say the same for Canada. I mean don't get me wrong, Canadians are nice.. but mostly to outsiders, and not so much to eachother. Cool channel, I love seeing any recognition towards Finland online.

@@hunterxsimple3821 a lot of these are 7th and 8th grade stuff
you been hiding in some granny bars if thats youre experience :D lots of drunken fights here in finland. and thaths bcause our drinking culture is stupid and people just drink but eat NOTHING. usually people eat on the way home but not in the bar. low sugar levels make one agressive and with booze they are out of theyr mind..
Length of police academy training in Finland: three years.
Length of police academy training in the US: 21 weeks.
Just saying....
A lot of it is that the country is just different tho
@@jamesnelson8469 But in the US it's also easier for trigger happy, violent idiots to qualify
@MV _
To be fair, they're also contending with quite a few violent, trigger-happy members of the public, armed to the teeth 🙄
And I'm NOT a y@nk
@@jamesnelson8469 yes. And one big difference between United States and Finland is that in Finland the police will always shoot to subdue rather than kill, if they have to shoot and if at all possible. Police *can* shoot to kill if protecting the life of a victim of an ongoing assault requires it. For example not too long ago the police shot dead a man that was assaulting a woman with a knife and did not drop the knife when ordered to by the officer, so the officer shot him dead.
If a police officer shot dead a person that was already face down on the ground because their hand twitched slightly and went for the "I thought he was reaching for a gun hurr durr" explanation that seems to happen all the time in USA, the officer would most definitely get sentenced of manslaughter.
Also, that difference in police education means that trigger happy bloodthirsty maniacs will have a MUCH harder time becoming a police officer in Finland than in USA.
@@oskariratinen1213 probabaly true but I was more so referring to the fact that findland is polar opposite to the US they are a small country that has very little division and is culturally religiously ethnically and economically more homogeneous so there are less people becoming cops with bad intentions in the first place
Financial Times (2.2.2023): US police training 652 hours vs. Finnish police 5500 hours (more than lawyers in the US!).
Fun fact: The barber training in US is longer than the US police training (if we only count how much time it takes to get on the field).
Training for a job that lets you cut people's hair is longer than for one that lets you carry a handgun (kinda messed up, probably not even in just my opinion)
But there is a lot of on the job training.
"liikkuva pajatso" laughed at that like hell! pajatso is a game where you put a coin into machine, and then shoot it inside the machine and try to hit it into some of the points where it gives money. so, that drunk cyclist they were calling as "moving Pajatso" :D

This was randomly recommended to me, and I'm not even Finnish or American lol.
Anyway, I think the police in most of Northern Europe is pretty much the same (Finland, Norway, Sweden and Denmark)
They require baseline 3 years education (Bachelor degree) and are generally trusted. Of course you can not compare the amount of guns and violence here in Europe to the US, but the fact that the police goes through extensive training really makes a huge difference. Most of my encounters with police, they are pretty chill and understanding.
I can recommend checking out the difference in how Jail/Prison work as well, might be even more shocking! At least some of the Norwegian prisons. Cheers
In Finland we actually have a lot of firearms 1 per 3ppl but they are registered, use for selfdefence is illegal and open carrying is also not allowed. So it's not about the guns existing but how they are regulated. It's kinda fucked up that we have more registered firearms than USA but they have over 400 million guns in civilian hands
@@juliasrouvali1924 interesting! Are your police armed? In Norway they mostly don't carry guns unless reacting to a dangerous situation
@@Mrlonefighter I am pretty sure they always have gun on their belts but they won't use them if their lives aren't in danger so if you are getting arrested for non violent crime and don't have weapon in your hand they won't take it out even if someone has a knife, they will first talk and then draw a gun if they don't agree to drop it
Yes I agree, the police here are very calm and respectul. I remember one time when we were still new here and we didn't know that noises are not allowed beyond 10pm, and we were singing that night because of a friend's birthday. We heard a knock on the door, opened it and the police was there, very calm and respectful and just told us that noises are not allowed anymore that time. He was not mad or aggressive or whatsoever. Salute to Finnish policemen! By the way I am from the Philippines.
@@juliasrouvali1924 They will draw a gun or taser if someone has a knife. It's what they are trained to do nowadays.
The "Poliisit" TV series is a good watch to get some kind of a picture about the police in Finland.
It says nothing, of course police acts better when somebody is filming them on tv
@@hellostranger6033 That's why I said, some kind of a picture.
@@hellostranger6033 Actually it gives very accurate picture. Its not about how nicely they behave, its the whole ideology, ways of working, etc. Obviously there is no such thing as two identical encounters, but by my whole life experience with police, thats as close at it gets.
@@hellostranger6033 as someone who drunk a lot as a teenager and lives in a city constantly running with pooice cars, i have talked to quite many
they're funny but if they see trouble they will try to stop and detain for the person's and everyone else's safety
When he cycles past they shout to stop, and he shouts back, I can’t I can’t
Haha🤣😂 Of course there's always those who take everything too seriously, but hey, humor is the best cure and they got the dude in the right place to ride a bike while drunk as heck, nobody got hurt, except maybe his ego when he saw this 👍😀
His ego propably grew bigger than that ass crack if he did saw this. 😀
@@Tipi83 haaaahha😂🤣😂🤣😂👍
I can’t say for sure what the police in Sweden would do but they’d definitely start with a good laugh. I guess they’d do pretty much the same as the Finnish police in the video. They’d deal with it for the man’s own safety and others when being out in the middle of the road but not much more than that, is my guess. There are much bigger problems that needs a totally different approach and I think most police officers knows how to deal with each one.
If I saw that man as a regular citizen, I’d laugh too. I haven’t (yet) seen anyone with their pants down like that but someone drunk on a bicycle isn’t that uncommon in the summer where I live, close to a harbour restaurant/bar…
For some reason men like to have their butts hanging out here in Finland. Maybe it has something to do with our nude culture, that is even more free than in Sweden and even there it's quite free I've understood.
The cyclist traveled about 10 kilometers within those video clips. Likely he started from city center, which makes the distance about 13km.
Cycling is a great way to get some cardiovascular exercise, people should aim to do the same as this guy did more often. :-D
🎶Bad boys, bad boys, whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do when they cycle bare-arsed in front of you?
😂
Im from Finland and just found your channel, this is so much fun to watch 😅
Thanks for watching
I've been to Finland before but I'm Swedish and live in sweden, it's pretty much the same here. The police here actually brings comfort rather than fear, yesterday I was travelling home and waiting in a shopping center for my train ti arrive since I didn't want to wait outside in the cold. Anyway some guys behind me started getting really aggressive and yelling at eachother and I was starting to consider walking away when one of the cops (in bigger cities and malls and stuff it's normal to have cops patrolling) came around and broke it up by just talking to them and telling them to go their own way. It took less than a minute but I guess we hold a different form of respect for the cops here in our country since we actually feel like they're there to protect us

Greetings from Finland, I subscribe your youtube channel, welcome 🙂
If yoiu want to become a police here in Finland, you need to go to police school for minimum 3 years (if I remember correctly). It's very different to American police.
I think the police "degree" is somewhat equal to a bachelors degree, right? So yeah, VERY different.
@@Garbox80 Yes, it's equilevant to bachelor's degree. So it's minimum 3 years.
In American police training I believe they won't give you your guns until you give them your full name. Or is that just for the full automatic assault guns?

I'm from Finland and they are cool sometimes they just talk casually with teens doing stupid things and encouraging them to act well.
Sounds about the same as police in Sweden too.
This one was hilarious :D I have couple outcomes with police and they allways have been nice. Finnish police are just awesome.
”Definitely the mooning cyclist has potential to be a good son-in-law, we could have only stopped him with a spike strip”
Thrue story.
I am living in finland like... 12 years now. And I called to police only ONCE and I'll never forget that day.
It was neighbours apartment attack by one suspect with homemade knife. Young man aproached me wile I've taking trash away and nervesly asked to give him a phone to call the police, he reported me what happend. As lucky as I am, not having phone in my pocket, I quickly ran to my apartment and back. Called the emergency operator, that asked the place, the floor, the apartment number. So I gave my phone to a victim that came from incident apartment. He explained there his girlfriend still in the apartment with suspect. After the call and young man successed attempt to resque the girlfrend himself, that were abit injured in arm. Police arived, like 3 vans (just like in this video). Before that, young man bring a homemade knife, that I mentioned before. That belongs to suspect, I qucly hide it behind the tree that stand near by, in case if suspect desides to continue the party outside of a apartment (Be careful with this! Don't leave fingerprints on the evidence, better use your clothes to move things around if necessary). So, there 2 vans came right with each other and from 4 police got out of them. One couple, armed with SMG and Taser and got inside the building. Other unarmed couple aproached us to start asking questions. I reported that I am a bystander and report about the wepon behinde the tree (interesting fact, I tried to interapt the police woman from victims answers, [donno why, maybe I thought that information about weapon in this case will be more inportand than information about the situation in victim apartment] and she didn't react, continued listening the young woman as victim. Makes me thout how good they trained to not be distracted. After all, I'm sure she heard me well, becouse only after, she cautiously checked behind the tree). Than 3th police van arived as backup, where couple police men, armed with shiled and taking a Police Dog get out from the van, and get inside the building as well. After a quite a while ambulance came and toke two victims and I continue trowing trash away. One police man aproaches me, I take a note on that, how cautiously he aproaches. Looking at me and counting the moment I'll start running, aslo count as a good training, who knows maybe I am one the suspects sidekick. He asked my phone number and ID number. After that I saw young man, in handcuffs been draged by two police men, leading him to the police van. Never thoght some who just look like a simple teenager, will be abel attack someone with a knife... Policeman free me to go, I left from the scene to my apartment, and continued to looking. How police vans drive away one by one.
Yeah. Who can you imagen somthing like that, could happen next to your apartment house...
Oh I wish you were directed to the video with subtitles. At the end the other police is saying: "Good son-in-law material" :D
Lol I did turn the subtitles on 😂
I have a samekind of experience of Finish police. I was boozing a lot in Helsinki Finnish Capital with my friends and we left the Whiskey House. I had only half a mile to walk to my hotel, but my legs didn't work at all. I was sitting outside in freezing cold winter night -15 C and the cops slided over me. I said:"I'm OK. Just waiting my legs to bring me to my hotel." Cops just said that they can't leave me there in so cold weather. I was like:"Oh noes. I'm going to jail next night". They then called to my hotel and drove me there. Copper said to receptionist:"This time we bring dude in the oppisite way." :D "Is this your room?", officer asked. "Yeah, there's my friend Jim Beam." :)
In Finland, drunk driving a bicycle is a minor offence, but there is no alcohol limit defined for it, so in practice, nothing is done.
personally I'd say try to pronounce the person's name as close as possible to their native language unless they give a different, usually easier version (or a nickname) to call them by☺
the person's name in the screenshot is Meri which means sea in Finnish, a beautiful feminine name😊 Google translator can be bit cringy when it comes to pronouncing but at times it works, despite the robotic voice🙃
for personal example my name, Johanna, it's not JOE-Hanna or JEHennah..😅 if / when it's too difficult for people to pronounce (or I get awkward & to save time), I've told them to just call me Hanna(h) 😇
legendary clip, that guy's laugh living in my head rent free 🤣AHHUAHHAH!! 🥴🤣
and yes please, do make a culture shock vid!! 🇫🇮
liking your content whenever I happen to see it, much love
If there were people on the streets the police would most likely have taken him to the station to sleep it off, but in this case it seems that it's a midsummer night (hence why its bright outside), so no people out and good visibility = minimal danger to others.
Police should intervene only if that person is causing a danger to others, and in this case they as they were on his tail ( pun intended) they saw he just needed to get home. Lovely 🤗 Hugs from Sweden.
Yeah! Although they tried to stop him and ask him to walk with the bike, because his driving looked dangerous and they were worried he was going to hurt himself, but he had too much speed to stop :D im sure he lived though
Thank you for your video whatever your name is!
As a Finn, I have to say that Finnish police have far less danger compared to most American cops. The risk of being shot. The amount of organized crime. The amount of gun crime. All substantially lower and nearly absent. It sort of makes sense that American cops are more on edge, more paranoid, and more likely to resort to intimidation and violence.
Its not the organized crime. In USA they have such harsh penalties for even minor crimes (and especially the 3 strikes rule in some states) that it really does make sense to fight/stab/shoot cops when they approach you. In Finland penalties generally are quite mild, unless you attack a cop or do some really serious crime like drug trafficking, murder etc. it really doesn't make any sense to attack cops in most situations. Its basically the US legislation and penalty practices that endanger their cops and cause all the threats towards cops and then cop brutality towards citizens.
There's one huge problem about the Finnish police: there are too few of them. Finland has the least police officers per capita in Europe. They simply don't have time and manpower to investigate many crimes.
and the few we do have, runs with film crew so.. out of "service" so to speak..
Its all about funding, they need far more money in the system.
@@Mabswer Well, they deal a lot of routine work with film crew. If really needed, film crew can be ordered elsewhere out of car.
Statistics... The say that we don't have problems in any of those issues that are significant enough that they need immediate action. Low crime overall means less police are needed. Over policing is detrimental too, there is a balance. I do agree that they probably need marginal increases in resources but overall.. Things seem to work ok.
Havin the least number of police is not in itself at all important. Statistics are the real metric, and we do have lots of room to improve, specially violent crime and homicide numbers are quite high... and directly related to alcohol consumption...
Lots of private security makes up for it, though.
Moi! I just watched Prison Project Little Scandinavia where prison in US goes to Norway and to Sweden to learn from how we run prisons in Scandinavia/Nordic countries. There's no Finland in the document but we basically have the same system here in Finland. They try things they learned and turn one part of a regular US prison to Little Scandinavia. So, it's at Yle Areena. Mainly in English. I haven't checked if they have subtitles as well in English but if they don't, I think you can still understand because they'll repeat what the norwegians etc. say in English anyways. So, I'm interested to see your reaction to that document.
Yes to a culture shock video.
Heartily seconded :)

Finland is a safe country so the police are able to chill.
Sure make culture shock video about Finland. That is going to be funny 😄
That's actually how most of the nordic police would react on the country side, even here in Sweden where I live. It's different in the capital of Helsinki or like in the capiatl of Stockholm or any of the bigger cities in general. But mostly on the country side and outside of major cities and that goes for all the Nordic countries, the cops can relax a little bit more and are usually more connected to the locals as oposed to the bigger cities even here.
Also to mention, almost everywhere else in the rest of the modern industrial nations people don't cary guns part why police don't have to fear for their lives in every situation.
In the US of America they have to worry about potential encounters of individuals carrying guns even in a normal day to day trafic stop even. No wonder they are on the edge all the time. Of course they want to be able to come home alive to their family like every other else want. To them it's more of a patrol or even like any typical war almost.
Dude this is a tv show :D
Kiitos 👍
I love and respect the Finnish police and we even have a joke about how calm they are in every situation like there could be a massmurder going on and they still come like "Terve, täällä poliisi, mitä kuuluu?" = "Hey, this is the police, how are you doing?" In english.
Yeah the police are so much better. academy lasts like 6 times longer in Finland and its actually hard to get into the academy, unlike in america where they have a hard time finding recruits who arent obese or just overall in good health.
One more thing that I think that Finns have not mentioned, besides the 3 years training to become a police officer in Finland, there is the sober fact that one must first serve in the Finnish Army for a period of 8 to 11 months, before you can even enter into the Finnish Police Academy, a virtual university. That means they must have either graduated from NCO School, or from Reserve Officer School, bare minimum. So Finnish police have training in the Army, in handling a diverse range of weapons, explosives, mines, etc...plus field tactical and leadership training. So, yes---Finnish police are extremely tough and highly intelligent, and with superior training, and a great deal of experience. I think they are the best police in the world, functionally.
That's not true... Military service isn't mandatory when applying to the Police University College. You don't even get any extra points for the military service for the entrance exams
I'd definitely be interested in the culture shock videos
That was the most stupid example of finnish police vs usa police but somehow you nailed it perferctly. Thank you for this video and please make more of these :)
I once in a metro station at Helsinki with a beer. The police (accidentally) came and told me to put the beer away. I cracked some stupid joke about donuts. The other cop said to me: "Decisions, decisions, or I make them for you". Then I realized, that maybe it is better to put the beer in the trash. Then the police just went away.
Funny thing about cycling and drinking in Finland, it’s not a crime unless you’re a danger to others. Otherwise you can be blind drunk. Boating is similar, but you can only get as drunk as 1 per thousand. I guess they thought you can mostly only do harm to yourself on the open seas or the cycling lane.
Have you watched the Norden (especially the ones about police and prison)?
"Meri" is the Finnish word for sea. "Valtameri" would be the word for ocean, since "valtava" means huge and ocean tend to be much bigger than ordinary seas.
Would definitely like to see a culture shock video!
"son-in-law material" lmao
One reason police take easy in Finland. We dont Have guns in streets and our guns laws are very tight, its good thing! If u wanna Have gun in Finland. U Have to go to course and talk with police. Then police deside. U Have to Be Hunter or sport shooter in shooting club member. U Have to keep Ur guns in locked closet and no way u are not carrying them a Round.
Those were the subtitles? Lol. 😂
The cops pretty chill around here, and most of their jobs is just pestering drunks to go home.
I do not wanna comment the US "Police" anymore-5 cops beats a man to a pulp. I prefer "Domestic Terrorists" = US "Police Force. I think they do not have the word "de-escalation" in the "American" Dictionary.
You have to have humor in that work. I dont think it was them, but i saw an episode where they found s severed head in a bucket. After something like that you really need support and humor.
It is actually not straight illegal to drive a bicycle in Finland under influence, but there is a catch, if you cause damage or endangering traffic, it is normal DUI or traffic violation and punished like with motor vehicles.
It SHOULD be illegal beacuse it is really quite dangerous. For the person himself, first and foremost, for the traffic (the cars while trying not to hit him may hit each other). Also, the cyclist may run into people. It is not such a funny thing really
You should react to the officers of Kuopio from the same Poliisit-series. 😄
Ohh, I have seen that video! 😏🤭😜
That normal finland drunk people and cop here never need pull gun out pocket
Our police was going US way, until late 90´s, they started to reform our police force and around 2005 launch this Poliisi on ystävä "Cops is a buddy" project, it was a great reform.
Being naked does not mean someone is nutty. Drunk, probably tho...
He wasn't naked, he just had the low cut jeans!
@@Polydeukes68 This is why I hate fashion these days
Some of the finnish police videos have english subtitles you should turn them on
Not really fair comparison. In USA cops have to deal with highly aggressive criminals constantly. No matter what "training" you have, you will end up being traumatized by being shot on daily basis and thus become more trigger happy when you see people being suspicious.
Two different nations, two different cultures is probably the best way to sum this up. I am not an expert but, I can give my guess as to why certain actions were not taken.
Meri (her name) means Sea in Finnish.
cops in LA tell normally people tell cyclists to stay in the bike lane, and the homeless situation normalized these encounters.
Finnish cops are usually very chill and honest people!!! :)
It is a bit more laid back work environment in Finland since gun crime doesn't exist here.
Population of the entire nation is 5,5mil so less than most big cities.
No need to be all action hero and over power with force 95% of the time.
The Finnish female name he mentioned in the beginning is either Mari or Meri.
The first one is pronounced close to "murry" and the latter is pronounced very close to "Mary"
Also, "meri" is Finnish word for sea/ocean.
And Mari is of the same root as Maria (just like Mary)
Or Meeri.
lololol was that my suggestion? 🤣🤣
oh . no, it seems
No there’s a screenshot at the beginning of the video who suggested it
damn. cause i suggested that one too 😅
such amount of dialect in there that english subs aren't picking it up :D
at least they do not shoot you 35 times, and than with 4 at the same time.
Guess they do not have Trhumhf mentality
This is great clip what Finland is.
Finnish police is fucking great! Every time i deal with finnish police i'm happy to be living in finland knowing how the cops are like in pretty much every other country on earth.
Well, in Finland you can be harmless idiot and if you are able to take care of youself, police is there just to give you advise. They will come on to you strong if you are complete ass. If not, why bother. They are first to serve you and then to protect you, harming is the last resource. Humour with them will always get you far if it is from a good nature.
Come on, he's shedding his winter fat! He might be drunk while doing it, but that is exercise right there;)
Where in Finland do you live? Salute from Lahti, brother.
They Are Chill A Lot
As a stat, the total Finnish police force fires about 10 bullets per year.
The murder rate has been very high in Finland, similar to the USA. But in the last 30 years, it has gone down. In 2021 it was 1.7 murders per 100 000 people. The US had a rate of 7.8 per 100 000 people. In Finland, alcohol and knives play a significant role in murders.
Thanks for that stat
It is true that our Police here don't shoot, or kill people when stopping them for traffic violations. In general, they don't kill people at all. Sadly, however, as I'm sure you have heard, our security guards from private companies are a different story.. a woman just was killed in a mall not too long ago, because the guards held her with too much force.
Mall guard when notices teens hanging out or "loitering" in a mall: *So you have chosen death*
Finnish criminals are far less dangerous than American…. that fact “might” have some influence.
Son-in-law material.... 😄
Actually in most of European countries driving drunk on a bike and also breaking traffic rules can cause you seizable fine and loosing your drivers license
"Vävypoika ainesta", "someone to have as your son in law". 😂
Yeah, in US he would be dead.
Wait, no... He is white.
Are you stoned my man? lol. I can tell.
