I notice you’re from Finland - I have a Finnish friend who claims Swedes are the way they are 'cos their country is shaped like a dick. Any comment about that one?

What the hell do “safety issues” have to do with a dumb cop arresting a man for being too muscular?
Well, it was a precautionary measure against the possibility of roid rage. I don’t know for sure, but I do know swedes and Sweden, and that’s what I in all seriousness suspect to be the reason.[/quote]
If that is the reasoning - then instead of calling it a “safety issue”, it should be called an ignorance issue.
So in Sweden, the police can arrest you because of the way you look if they think you could be guilty of a possible crime in the future?

I haven’t called you or anyone other on this site fearful.
Friday night downtown, the police can arrest you on any pretext if they really want to, but it will not have any further consequenses, just a spoiled evening. Is it wrong? Yes.
That swedish case was pretty unusual though, that’s undoubtedly why it is circulating the globe.

I’m sure it was just a general dig against Sweden by someone of a neighboring country. Kinda like how Americans and Canadians dig at each other.
