prohibition for the police to start a chase after a refusal to comply

In the district of Sarcelles, the hunting of people who refuse to comply are now prohibited. This is the mind-blowing note that the police received from their commissioner Fabienne Azalbert. “If the driver of the vehicle does not immediately obey visual or sound injunctions, there will be no support tolerated” can we read in this note, sent Wednesday, June 2 to the police. Understand: no more chases.

The note specifies all the same that there is an exception: if the police officers witness a “flagrant blood crime” (Editor’s note: murder, homicide or assassination), they are authorized to intervene and therefore chase the fugitive. The commissioner mentions too many serious accidents linked to these chases.

A measure already seen in Île-de-France

A heresy for officials who are already reacting to the announcement. In the columns of Parisian, one of them believes that “yields to the law of cities. A dealer or someone who is wanted will only have to refuse to stop in front of a patrol to be quiet. With this measure, we might as well cease all control, ”he confides. One of his colleagues, annoyed, adds that “In the case of unregistered motocross or stolen cars, we will look smart.”

This measure is not, however, a first in Île-de-France. Until recently, the police in Paris, Hauts-de-Seine, Seine-Saint-Denis and Val-de-Marne were also prohibited from taking charge of motorized vehicles that do not stop in front of a control. The measure ended with the arrival of the current Paris police prefect, Didier Lallement on July 3, 2020.
