That’s really crazy! Only 120 hours community service?

Does anyone know the details of what actually happened?

edit

I didn’t see the link to what happened at first.

The motorist killed the toddler and her 67 and 64-year-old grandparents instantly when he went off the road at 75mph in a 50mph zone.

    I think they finally fixed it in Denmark. That would be called hazardous driving and someone just got 4 years for killing someone due to it. The sentence was reduced since he showed remorse, could have gone all the way up to 10 years.

    Artikel

    Det er flettet ind i straffeloven:

    § 241. Den, som uagtsomt forvolder en andens død, straffes med bøde eller fængsel indtil 4 måneder eller under særligt skærpende omstændigheder med fængsel indtil 10 år. Er forholdet begået i forbindelse med spirituskørsel, overtrædelse af færdselslovens § 54, stk. 1 eller 2, særligt hensynsløs kørsel eller de groveste hastighedsovertrædelser, anses dette som en særligt skærpende omstændighed.

    If I were the killer in that situation, not that I ever would be, I would actually want to be given a harsher sentence than that. Because what we just witnessed in that video is the creation of a vigilante. When the government won't seek justice for people whose lives are completely ruined, those people will seek justice themselves, and I don't want to receive that sort of justice.

    I’m always a bit nervous when driving in cities that someone will jump in front of my car on purpose to get hit and scam me.

    When I first saw this sentencing I wondered if that was what happened and it went wrong.

    But clearly the system is just broken to only get such a small offense. I wonder if the defendant is related to someone powerful.
