Pretty tricky by the cops to turn off power directly and to steal his cameras. Shows that if you are concerned something like this would happen to you that you need to invest in more resilient solutions. Probably something with batteries and also hidden.

> The prefece to the story is, that I in a kind of roundabout and (I think) humorous way published "my two favorite numbers" by spelling out a 10 diget and a 8 diget number with letters. I didn't tell what they ment, but they where prime minister Mette Frederiksen's social security and phone number

Umm, so was he arrested for doxing the prime minister? Is there more to the story than that?

As someone who cares about privacy, arresting people who dox other people seems like a good thing. Obviously i want that to apply to everyone not just the rich and famous, but still at the end of the day i have trouble objecting to someone getting arrested for doxing people.

Highly doubt that is the only reason he got this treatment. Need to go through his tweets to figure out what is his deal.

Regardless of intent, this does reveal that certain people are protected by warrantless arrests while the general public is not.

What security concerns? Of a person telling people where you live?

Are the homes of Danish prime ministers secret?

Did his arrest not have a warrant? I'm not familiar how these things work in Denmark, but is there any reason to believe there was no warrant?

Lars was a corrupt cop? Are you just using "corrupt" to mean "someone I don't like"?
