The owner just thanked me, and said was going to have a chat with the driver. Never saw that car speeding nearby again.
The debt information is there so that when the owner sells the car the buyer can check to see if they actually really do own it outright.
Especially great that you can see what employees at competitors earn, what your peers at your workplace earn and what your boss earns. Become a hell of lot easier to ensure you're not exploited. Helps that Sweden has a really strong union-culture as well.
In a high trust culture I get this. But what about if you're in a low trust culture with quite some "not so orderly behavior" (if you will).
Wait, aren't Sweden like literally the world leader by rapes count?
There is a huge difference in most countries.
Sweden may well be one of the few countries where being raped isn't shameful/your fault for dressing too lightly/punishable by death.
Sounds like someone who needs to lay off the X/twitter feed.
In the US you can get the exact same info and probably more by simply paying a private corporation/middle man (background check services).
It seems like a huge trend in many sectors. We have the same setup as other countries, but shittier for consumers because there are lifeless leaches as middle men to make a quick buck.
Of course, contrary to popular belief, Sweden is not a perfect country without violence and shit people!
It seems to be somewhat respected overall though, but I'm sure it'll eventually disappear. For the people who are stalked and what not, it's relatively easy to apply and get "protected identity" if you're affected by those things, and then eventually all those 3rd party websites remove the stale data.
Personally I solved this problem for myself by moving away from the country.
Quite drastic to move away from a country for just this. Did you only do it for just this? Or was this simply one of the factors why you moved away?
The current system has been in place around 1770. There's some pushback against it the last few years.
