“Copenhagen Police announced late last month that they would once again start cracking down on Pusher Street, largely in response to criticism that they had allowed the freetown’s drug trade to grow unchecked. But Mayor Jensen argued that the city ‘needs to go a new way’ and insisted it wouldn’t work. ‘The police have established a Pusher Street group and I’m not going to get involved in that, but I’m just saying that it won’t solve the problem because the cannabis sale will just move somewhere else,’ he said. ‘When Pusher Street was cleared in 2004, the sale of cannabis exploded in other places around the city.'”
