Forensics True Crime

In the early hours of March 2015, the police receive a call from a nurse at a provincial Danish hospital.

From allegations of harassment or bias to false arrests or even criminal conduct, these videos can prove officers did not cross a line as, sometimes, they are alleged to have done.
