During the summer, people have been diligent in dialing 114 if they felt disturbed by loud music.
A total of more than 13,000 reports have been received by the police about such nuisances from May to the end of August, according to a response from Minister of Justice Nick Hækkerup (S) to the Parliament’s legal committee.
In the words of the police, there have been “a significant number of reviews of music to the detriment”.
The trend became a topic in the summer, which was also mentioned by the media, and in August the National Police then asked the individual police districts to report the cases carefully.
It turns out that the police are far from always moving out when the alarm about noise sounds.
From August 8 until August 26, law enforcement recorded 3928 cases, and in 2628 of the cases, a patrol drove away, police said.
In some cases, the noise had died out when the officers arrived. But otherwise, it has turned out that the vast majority of citizens are willing to turn down after having a talk with the police.
In a few cases in August – eight times to be exact – police seized music systems for confiscation. Here it is the intention that the noisy people must wave goodbye to the system forever.
In other cases, the facility was revoked with a view to subsequent re-delivery, the police state in the response.
It is Peter Skaarup from the Danish People’s Party who has asked questions to the Minister of Justice about the case. He would also like to hear whether the Minister wants a change in the law.
The answer, however, states that the police themselves believe they have the necessary tools to combat what is called “music to the detriment”.
In May, there were 1894 reviews. In June there were a further 3916 cases, and in July there were 3653. Finally, there were 3928 cases in the period from 8 to 26 August.
