Cute Swede pulled over by ‘policeman’ for a date

A Swedish woman who was pulled over for driving too fast but managed to walk away without a ticket, was shocked to find this was not the last she would hear from the amorous “policeman” that night.

Cute Swede pulled over by 'policeman' for a date

Angelica, 26, confessed to newspaper Aftonbladet that she may have been driving too fast in Sigtuna, central Sweden, on Monday night when she was pulled over by what she thought was an undercover police car with flashing blue lights.

The man in the car told her she was driving too fast, but he told her they could skip the formalities and that she could drive on, wrote Aftonbladet.

However, this exchange didn’t seem to satisfy the infatuated inspector, who proceeded to follow the woman and pull her over again several minutes later, this time asking for her phone number “just in case something happened”, according to the paper.

The woman obliged, and was bewildered to receive a text after midnight from the passionate patrolman:

“Hello, I want to meet you in Upplands-Väsby tomorrow, what time suits you? Just so we can talk a little. And you can get a free coffee,” said the text, according to the paper.

“You got to keep your driving license and you got away without a fine. You were so cute in your blue jeans 😉 Can you be in Väsby around 5pm if that works?” it continued.

”I didn’t know what to believe, I thought it was completely sick,” the woman told the paper, adding that she rang the man later, confirmed that he claimed to be a policeman, then told him that she would report him.

The man allegedly had no equipment, badge, or uniform to indicate he worked for the law enforcement.

The local police were left scratching their heads at the matter.

Mats Johnsson, the officer leading the investigation, claims the police are taking the matter seriously, and cannot yet say if the covetous cop was indeed an official officer.

“This is not good, whether it was actually a policeman or not,” he told Aftonbladet.

“It would be ludicrous if it turned out to be a colleague, but you just never know,” he said.

Meanwhile, the woman, who claims to have lost faith in the police, has begun to avoid the roads where the incident occurred, fearing another meeting with the man, reports the paper.

According to Aftonbladet , the “policeman” has since stopped answering his phone.

Clashes mar rally against far right in north-west France

Riot police clashed with demonstrators in the north-western French city of Rennes on Thursday in the latest rally against the rise of the far-right ahead of a national election this month.

Clashes mar rally against far right in north-west France

The rally ended after dozens of young demonstrators threw bottles and other projectiles at police, who responded with tear gas.

The regional prefecture said seven arrests were made among about 80 people who took positions in front of the march through the city centre.

The rally was called by unions opposed to Marine Le Pen’s far-right Rassemblement National party (RN), which is tipped to make major gains in France’s looming legislative elections. The first round of voting is on June 30.

“We express our absolute opposition to reactionary, racist and anti-Semitic ideas and to those who carry them. There is historically a blood division between them and us,” Fabrice Le Restif, regional head of the FO union, one of the organisers of the rally, told AFP.

Political tensions have been heightened by the rape of a 12-year-old Jewish girl in a Paris suburb, for which two 13-year-old boys have been charged. The RN has been among political parties to condemn the assault.

Several hundred people protested against anti-Semitism and ‘rape culture’ in Paris in the latest reaction.

Dominique Sopo, president of anti-racist group SOS Racisme, said it was “an anti-Semitic crime that chills our blood”.

Hundreds had already protested on Wednesday in Paris and Lyon amid widespread outrage over the assault.

The girl told police three boys aged between 12 and 13 approached her in a park near her home in the Paris suburb of Courbevoie on Saturday, police sources said.

She was dragged into a shed where the suspects beat and raped her, “while uttering death threats and anti-Semitic remarks”, one police source told AFP.

France has the largest Jewish community of any country outside Israel and the United States.

At Thursday’s protest, Arie Alimi, a lawyer known for tackling police brutality and vice-president of the French Human Rights League, said voters had to prevent the far-right from seizing power and “installing a racist, anti-Semitic and sexist policy”.

But he also said he was sad to hear, “anti-Semitic remarks from a part of those who say they are on the left”.

President Emmanuel Macron called the elections after the far-right thrashed his centrist alliance in European Union polls. The far-right and left-wing groups have accused each other of being anti-Semitic.
