Police union: French, your freedoms are out of the game

Radars - Police union: French, your freedoms are out of date -

Once is not customary: following the new cart of repressive measures and infringing the freedoms of the IRB (read MNC of May 11, 2011 and our Special Report), even the cops come to wonder if we are not pouring into " excessive repression " !

Once is not custom: following the new cart of repressive measures and infringing the freedoms of the IRB (read and our), even the cops come to wonder if we are not pouring into "the excess of repression" !

"In absolute terms we are in favor of the repression of dangerous behavior, but it seems to us that we are going too far", estimates the Independent Union of Municipal Police (SIPM): "is there another pedagogy , like respecting civic behavior on the road (and in everyday life) or learning to really control a vehicle like bikers and truckers? Are there any efforts on the deteriorating infrastructure? No " , deplore the municipal police officers in a statement surprisingly far tongue in cheek the duty of reserve usually observed among "police".

A "simple and effective" measure to reduce the number of deaths

At the same time, the Independent Syndicate of the Municipal Police (SIPM) proposes a "simple and effective" measure to reduce the number of road deaths: "no offense to the extremists of the associations of" the fight against road violence ", l ‘The vast majority of road accidents are not caused by "coyote" users or by the fact that bikers are not disguised as Christmas trees, "recalls the union, which" is fully aware of the main factor. alcohol. ! "

"However, it is easy to see that, in the life of a road user, we are very rarely checked on this point while we are" radar "several times a day", continues the SIPM, because "the police officers no ” have the right to carry out an alcoholic impregnation screening (DIA) only in specific cases: at the request of a judicial police officer or the public prosecutor, in the event of an infringement of the highway code and in the event of an accident".

"Rather than attacking the freedoms of the French, wanting to stick a criminal record for exceeding the authorized speed, disguise bikers and remove GPS radar warnings", it is enough simply to authorize "the judicial police officers, judicial police officers and assistant judicial police officers, either on the instruction of the Public Prosecutor or on their initiative, even in the absence of a prior offense or accident ", to" submit any person who leads a vehicle or accompanying a student driver to screening tests for alcoholic impregnation through exhaled air ".

"Stolen scooters"

"At the same time, we have instructions not to take legal action against stolen scooters and other unapproved motocross motorcycles driven by thugs, most often without helmets (no, the hood is not a helmet … ) for fear of causing an accident, "regret the municipal cops, arguing that" yes we must fight against dangerous behavior, but we must also keep the figures in mind:

  • Number of suicide deaths: 11,000
  • Number of deaths from nosocomial diseases (contracted in hospital) 11,000
  • Number of deaths from domestic accidents at home: 20,000
  • Number of road deaths: less than 4000 "

"Disguised collectors"

"It is astonishing that we only hear about the deaths on the roads of France when there are 5 times more deaths by domestic accidents! Is it because the repression in this area BRINGS money to the ‘State, transforming the police no longer into "guardian angels" and "arbitrators" but into disguised tax collectors? ", Also wonders the SIPM.

"We will create delinquents"

"Worse, we are going to create delinquents", indignant the municipal police officers: "speeding more than 50 km / h will now be offenses and no longer tickets. Clearly, if a road user is on a road limited to 110 km / h, that he drives at about 120, that the speed is suddenly limited to 70 km / h, he risks not only 3750 euros of fine but also 3 months of prison, which means an inscription on the criminal record with all the consequences for professional life that result ".

"At this rate, we wonder if the death penalty will not soon be reinstated in the event of crossing a fixed red light, or life imprisonment in the event of forgetting the seat belt. That would be dissuasive, wouldn’t it? ", ironically the union.

"Independent of any
political organization " ?

Although the secretary general of the SIPM "ran in a personal capacity in legislative elections under the label of a movement close to the UMP", the Independent Professional Police Federation (FPIP) claims to be "independent of any organization policy ", can we read on the official website of the union.

"Real anti-biker persecution"

"Let’s move on to the real anti-biker persecution, such as the obligation to wear retro-reflective equipment (in the best taste) and compulsory driving training for holders of a motorcycle license who have not driven two-wheeled motor vehicles for more than 5 years. years (many parents who have temporarily stopped the motorbike when their baby is born will abandon the motorbike) ", continues SIPM.

"Likewise, the programmed ban on radar detectors by GPS will lead to business closures, unemployment, and will be more difficult to apply because we do not see how the police will be able to control whether, by chance, the motorist cash cow and guilty has this application in his latest generation phone ", still note the municipal police.

"Your freedoms go out of business under pressure from extremist associations"

"French, it is a union of police officers who tell you: we do not want to create fictitious delinquents when so many proven delinquents are in nature", assures the SIPM. "Your freedoms go out of business under pressure from extremist associations and your freedoms, theoretically, we are responsible for protecting them. In addition, your freedoms are also ours, because we are also citizens and road users. passionate bikers. We have become police officers to protect citizens, even if it means being tough. But there are limits not to be crossed ".

And once is not customary, Site warmly welcomes the police for this particularly well sent position statement !
