    Lee ask "If Denmark wants to tackle criminality and low income, employment and education, why not do that without stigmatizing residents by national origin?" I can not help but wonder, are there any example in the western world that have effective dealt with parallel societies?

    I am asking course in Sweden, where they where open to migrants, its going bad. The criminal rate from Middle East and North Africa countries is also significant higher [1] in Denmark also.

    If the solution is not the Danish policy what is?

    I use "Three Cheers for Tildes" (3C4T). I think it works fine. The app can be downloaded for free Google Play Store.

    At least, the way most of the parking apps work in Denmark is that you only pay for the time you use. According to one of the park apps' websites (Parkman) [1], "when you return to your car and wish to end your parking session, you should open the app and tap on 'Stop parking.' The app will then prompt you to confirm your request to end the parking session."
    This means you only have to spend money on parking that you actually use. It is similarly to how EasyPark works in Denmark also [2]. I would think the main reason for using these apps online or via an app is to ensure you only pay for the time you use. It sounds to me like the issue may not be with the app in your example. For me sounds rather, it's a lack of regulation or policy that ensures customers only pay for the time they park and are not forced to pay for unused time.
