Terrorism: the Assembly softens the use of weapons by police – Le Parisien

MEPs also gave the green light to deductions of up to four hours after an identity check. These provisions, which go beyond the current state of emergency since mid-November, to prepare the release of this special regime.

Apart from self-defense, a new regime of criminal responsibility must benefit policemen, customs officers and soldiers who have made use of their weapons in cases of “absolute necessity” against someone one who just commit or attempt to commit murder and who is about to start.

This key measure of the bill “fight against organized crime, terrorism and its financing” aims ” to secure action by the security forces “during the” murderous journey “of people, as was the case during the attacks in January and November 2015, said the Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve, who promised training and training.

Faced with criticism from some on the left, the minister assured that the measure was “far from a license to kill.” It will not apply to such a “robber fugitive” who killed “as a result of the main action ‘, that is to say his wrongdoing.

The National Assembly has also voted Wednesday night creating administrative controls for some of the “jihad” returnees, as part of the review of post-terrorist penal reform project.

These people against which there would be no sufficient evidence to justify an indictment, could include house arrest, by decision of the Interior Ministry after informing the parquet for a period of months non-renewable. In addition, they may have to declare any change of address, signal its movements or even declare their identifiers from electronic means of communication for a period of three months, renewable once.

These constraints could be suspended if the person submits to an action of rehabilitation and the acquisition of “citizenship values”.

There will be “serious reasons for considering” that the person wanted to “join a theater terrorist groups “or attempted to do so, under a rewrite proposed by the rapporteur Pascal Popelin (PS) to limit the controls to cases which may or may still be judiciarized. In addition, it will conditions “likely to lead (the person) to undermine public security”.

Being selected four hours after a identity check: it will be possible

As part of the post-bombings draft penal reform, the national Assembly has given the green light to a deduction that can last up to four hours after a check ID. The police may detain a person “when there are serious reasons for considering that the behavior is related to terrorist activities,” the time to check his position, for example from foreign services. This administrative deduction may eventually result in police custody.

Faced with criticism mainly from deputies left against the measure flagship bill its first reading until Friday, the Minister of Interior Bernard Cazeneuve said he was able to “prevent terrorist risk”.

Echoing concerns of associations of magistrates and the Defender of rights, part of the environmentalists, radical left, the left Front, the slingers Socialists and Patrick Devedjian (LR) sought in vain to remove this key section of the government project. Conversely, favorable LR deputies from withholding such Eric Ciotti, would have liked to carry his term up to eight hours. His wish was rejected.
