So now people can get parole when they have served two months of their sentence. That is the cost because our parliament wanted to send a message to people considering to make home invasions their line of business.
So we would have people serving 3-5 years for this specific crime - a horrible crime but what kind of crime isn't?
It is the wrong message to send criminals. "We would punish your hard but we will let you out early"
People will lose respect for our laws. Look at California. People who are sentenced to 180 days end up serving 18 days in jail or 30-40 days in home confinement, because the jails is overbooked. Isn't that a joke?
Take a person like the former mayor Brixtofte. Some people claimed that he broke the law. However until the court in his case decided that politicians could eat for DKK 1,000 per meal, there was no limit. Now all politicians struggle to eat for just under this limit. He got two years in jail and he wasn't granted a parole despite the fact that the only gain he got was the expensive meals. All the other good things he did for the citizens in his town are forgotten.
Maybe his sentence should have been tough - I don't know, I don't care because the lesson I learned from his case was not to be involved in local politics. It is a dirty business where you are back-stabbed if you are not alert 24/7.
I believe that we as voters are lied to by the politicians over in Copenhagen. Letting people out of jail early without anyone thinking about what they should do will result in more crime. While I feel for the victims of home invasions and I support strict border controls because such crime is done by so-called tourists, I just don't get what people convicted off assault should be let out before time.
Please explain me why I should believe that the politicians are not trying to fool us?
