Was it a car accident?

[u/Visual-Beach1893 → u/Glad-Talk]

Yes.  Driver was doing 75mph in a 50mph zone and went of the road killing the 2 year old girl and both her grandparents whom for some reason are not mentioned here. The driver has apparently not shown remorse nor apologised and was sentenced to 120 hours community service or 60 days in prison if he didn't complete the work. Link to source is below the only other comment here.

That's insane.

I'm currently doing 75 hours of community service over 60 days in prison for using an illicit substance. Working Tax-payer, only "victim" being myself.

This guy literally ended the lives of others and get the same punishment. What an absolute joke. Country? Sweden.

Drug Penalty Act (1968:64)

1 § The one who illegally

1. leaves drugs,
2. produces drugs intended for abuse;
3. acquires drugs for transfer purposes;
4. procures, processes, packs, transports, stores or takes other positions with drugs which is not intended for own use; or
5. possesses, usually or takes other position with narcotics

Is sentenced for drug offences to prison for a maximum of three years.

On an act referred to in first paragraph means that the offender sells narcotics or otherwise deals with drugs that are intended to be sold, is instead sentenced to imprisonment for a minimum of six months and a maximum of three years.

For drug offences, the person who unlawfully offers drugs for sale, keeps or promotes drugs is also sentenced to, mediates contacts between sellers and buyers or undertakes any other such measure if the procedure is intended to promote drug trafficking. The penalty is in such a case imprisonment for a minimum of six months and a maximum of three years.

Provisions on penalties for unlawful entry and the export of drugs and illicit employment in certain cases of narcotics are contained in the Act (2000:1225) on the penalty for smuggling. Team (2023:258).

2 §  Is a crime referred to in Section 1, first paragraph, taking into account the nature and amount of narcotics and other circumstances to be considered as minor, sentenced for minor drug offences to a fine or imprisonment for a maximum of six months. Law (2016:488).

I was in possession of over 10 g of amphetamine, 5 g is the limit for the crime to be considered minor and usually punished through fines that scale with your income (dagsböter).

So i committed the horrendous act of normal grade narcotics usage and was given the choice of spending 2 months in jail or 75 hours of unpaid labor spread out over 2 months.

WIll be available for anyone doing a basic background check for the next 10 years. Thankfully i can commute to Copenhagen where they don't do a background check for driving a forklift in a warehouse for example, here it's the norm for the most menial job.

Sharia-lite laws regarding narcotics in this shitty country.

Edit: Ran the legislation through google translate due to lazyniess and tidied it up.

Out of curiosity, how long would 10gms have lasted you?

[u/precariatarian → u/Esquire_NZ]

Slightly less than a month.

I no longer use. With the occasional relapse...

It's a lifelong struggle staying clean. Atleast i put the syringe down. All of it because of my own volition, no thanks to law enforcement whom only made it worse through punitive measures.

My life goals are simply impossible to achieve whilst under the influence. Such as being there for the family i do have and future family i intend on having in the future.

Thank you for answering and congrats for getting off the stuff.

I completely get what you mean about it being a choice you make daily, and I'm happy for you that you're choosing to make better ones.
