Zurich cantonal police say they will refuse to issue fines for up to three months, in a protest against working conditions.
The 90-day ‘fine strike’ will start this week, officers say.
The plan is to stop issuing fines, in a protest against what they say is a heavy workload and the unfair distribution of weekend and night shifts.
Residents, far from welcoming the initiative, mainly fear the move will make traffic unbearable in the city, especially in already traffic-congested central areas, according to a report on the daily 20 Minuten.
Swiss police are investigating an 11-year-old boy believed to have been radicalised by Islamic extremists -- the youngest person ever to be involved in such a case in Switzerland, media reported Friday.
Swiss broadcasters RTS and SRF reported that police in the southern Swiss canton of Wallis had questioned the boy in June.
He was questioned in connection with “racist and discriminatory content” posted on social media, they said, citing the cantonal juvenile court.
The child reportedly admitted to having had contact with people involved in extremist movements abroad.
The court had not identified the extremist movements in question, but RTS and SRF said they had obtained information indicating they were Islamist and Jihadist groups.
Prior to this case, Islamist extremist cases on record in Switzerland have never involved anyone younger than 14, the broadcasters reported.
Wallis authorities have reportedly opened a juvenile case against the child, whose nationality was not divulged.
The juvenile court had stressed that the level of radicalisation had yet to be established and that the boy enjoyed the presumption of innocence.
