Do not leave without your lawyer

It is a magistrate who says it to you. The freedom of going and coming tends to evaporate in our country. Then be careful, do not leave more without the number of portable of a lawyer in your pocket: he is your legal lightning conductor in period of bad weather for our public freedoms.

The number of the completely useless warning statements at sight citizens follows a constant progression. The Minister of Interior Department is pleased some on the site of his ministry; the minister Justice finds there nothing to repeat, it which however directs justice guardian of freedoms.

Any identity check can be transformed into insult with member of the police force, infringement which knows an important expansion. Any control of blood alcohol content, even with bicycle, can end in a menottage with police custody to follow until the following day. All that allows the Minister of Interior Department to easily improve the rate of elucidation of the police force and the indicators of success of its ministry.

Eh yes, the number of police custodies in the year is regarded as an indicator of success and an orientation towards the performance according to the new budgetary framework. Thus, to shut down a citizen under police control, whether he then is declared innocent or condemned, is compared to a success!

A mandate to bring or a simple control can skid in excavation to body, which is not more acceptable than humiliation by the state of the buildings of police custody, by the useless menottage, the lawful strippings imposed in the police stations like methods of investigation.

Thank you with the former director for the publication of Release: by what it underwent, it perhaps involuntarily will advance public freedoms. Many are those which plead to import the habeas Anglo-Saxon corpus in France. It is time to set up this process: not to more leave to the police officers the decision put a person as a police custody becomes a safeguard measure of the population.

So many better if the President of the Republic, a time favorable to tolerance zero at any price, converts with a penal procedure which protects the citizen against excesses, which one hope for rare, police force and gives up a penal procedure tool of (D) pressure. It remains to be hoped that the commission which he gave the responsability to make him of the proposals will be innovating!
