Children have become more vulnerable due to increased access to the internet. So the Sweden Democrats (SD) have this week announced new measures designed to hand police more powers so they can successfully target those exploiting this vulnerability—meaning, as party leader Jimmie Åkesson recently stressed, “if you even try to destroy a child’s life, you are also destroying your own.”
In particular, police may now use what the party describes as “provocative methods” to “expose perpetrators.” This could include pretending to buy drugs, or, as has gained more attention, pretending to be children offering sex online to catch paedophiles.
For example, police will—as SD deputy leader Henrik Vinge highlighted on Monday—be permitted to “use AI-generated images to gain access to forums where abuse of children is spread,” helping them stop “the most hard-to-reach pedophiles.”
The message is clear: In our Sweden, no one who abuses children shall go safe, no matter how skilled one is at hiding on the net.
We prioritise children’s safety over pedophiles’ “right” to not be “tricked” by the justice system.
Lex Dumpen 2 rullas nu fram:
Tidigare har Polisens utrymme för brottsprovokation varit oklart, oreglerat och begränsat. Det ändrar vi på.
I dag tog vi emot lagförslag som innebär att Polisen kan använda brottsprovokation för att fiska fram pedofiler på internet.
SD MEP Charlie Weimers also said last week that toughening the response to crime includes getting a grip on the nation’s borders, since “due to mass immigration, Sweden has long been a horror example.” He hailed a new law permitting the confiscation of gang criminals’ property as a step towards safety, because:
Criminals should not roll around in Lamborghinis and show off designer accessories… It is deterrence that feels and works. A strong signal is now being sent from the state to criminals: the end of the high life, then prison, and for many even a one-way ticket home.
Gör som Sverige – beslagta gängens lyxprylar
På grund av massinvandringen har Sverige länge varit ett skräckexempel. Sedan SD vann valet 2022 åt högersidan har Tidöregeringen agerat för att städa upp kaoset i vårt land.
