Norwegian police said the clothes could be mistaken for official military attire | Police in Norway have fined two Russian sailors for wearing camouflage work uniforms, which were deemed likely to distress residents, local media reported on Friday. Last week, police in the city of Kirkenes in Norway's northern province of Finnmark said that they had “carried out immigration checks on Russian sailors” wearing clothes 💬 “that could easily be mistaken for military uniforms.” ● Speaking to the Norwegian daily Dagbladet, law enforcement officers confirmed that the two men were fined 5,000 Norwegian krone ($500) for wearing the clothes while walking around the city. ● Lawyer Bernt Heiberg told Dagbladet that the Russians should not have been fined. “The way the case is presented, I think that the police went too far by issuing a fine for something that does not appear to be punishable,” he stated. He added that the uniforms could hardly have been mistaken for official, even considering that they had a Russian flag on them. Heiberg also noted that “he has never seen anything like it,” advising the Russians to take the case to the court. Both sailors have accepted the suggestion, according to the outlet.
