Sweden has recently passed a controversial law allowing the establishment of temporary "security zones" where police can conduct searches without suspicion of a crime.

This decision follows a notable rise in shootings and explosions, with proponents arguing it's a necessary step to combat gang violence and protect innocent citizens.

Opponents, however, fear it may lead to discrimination and erode trust in law enforcement.

The narrow vote in the Riksdag (151-148) underscores the divisive nature of the measure, reflecting concerns over privacy and civil liberties amidst efforts to ensure public safety.
