Police union opposes plan, “arguing that legalisation would make it more likely that the spray ends
up in the wrong hands.”
“The use of pepper spray in Denmark has caused
a number of headline-generating incidents in recent years. In early 2016, The
Local’s report about a
17-year-old girl who faced police charges for using pepper spray to fend off a
sexual assailant went viral. Later
that year, the nationalist Danes' Party elicited strong reactions went it took
to the streets of Haderslev to hand out cans of what it called
‘refugee spray'. In 2003, current speaker of parliament
Pia Kjærsgaard of the Danish People’s Party was fined
3,000 kroner for pulling a can of pepper spray out of
her purse and threatening to spray a woman who Kjærsgaard said was harassing
her.”
It is a step in the right direction. There
should be no question concerning defense of the home.
