Some Danish drivers pay from clips in the correcard on Facebook. There's just one problem. It's totally illegal.
In a new article , BT uncovers a quite frightening trend among Danish drivers. The most desperate of them have started to pay off from cuts in the choir card.
According to BT, this kind of 'dealing' takes place quite openly on the social media Facebook, although it takes place in closed Facebook groups, to which you must first apply for access.
Here, anonymous users offer, in return, that motorists who are about to be clipped can blame it on them and thus escape the punishment themselves.
In one of the groups that BT specifically mentions, everything from stolen bicycles, copy goods and therefore clips to the choir card are sold.

– Hello. I can take a cut in the choir card. At a decent price. I like the post and I will probably contact you, says one post.
Subsequently, the anonymous group member explains that some money just needs to come with the stall when it is sent on. Simple as that.
However, the police are well aware of this type of fraud. And although it can in principle be done, the punishment cannot be mistaken.
Because if law enforcement discovers the fraud, it will trigger a charge under section 164, subsection 1 of the Criminal Code. 1.
The section aims to hit those who try to blame a criminal act on others. The penalty is up to six years in prison.
