– It would have given us increased opportunities to be able to search people, above all those that we primarily have no suspicions about. But one should not forget that we have a great opportunity to search people anyway in the police legislation, says Niko Salcidis to SVT Småland.
“Nothing we should use casually”
In the new law, which therefore came into force on Thursday, it is stated that a decision on a safety zone that is made applies for two weeks, and that it must apply in an area where there is a significant risk of shooting or explosion.
And for Niko Salcidis, it is important that the law is used in the right context.
– We absolutely must not use it if we do not think they are needed, so it is not something we should use casually, but it must follow the conditions and the legislation that applies to them.
