Something is rotten in the state of Denmark

Even the bicycle-friendly city of Copenhagen has its issues with the police and their narrow view of urban mobility.  Via Copenhagenize:

The Police also have a firm understanding of car traffic – well, all traffic modes – as a fixed entity. They do not consider that people could make active choices and change transport modes. If a road has 50,000 cars it’s a law of nature in the Police mind. They must be catered to, period. Traffic evaporation and induced traffic are not concepts that the Police’s mental model of traffic can handle.
