Question 13336 — public order

Summary

Ms. Emmanuelle Ménard draws the attention of the Minister of State, Minister of the Interior, to compliance with Law No. 2010-1192 of October 11, 2010 prohibiting the concealment of the face in public spaces. Redouane Faïd, known for having escaped on July 1, 2018 from Réau prison with the complicity of men armed with Kalashnikov-type rifles and having taken a helicopter pilot and his machine hostage, was found in the Oise on October 3 2018. Investigators showed that, during his run, to go unnoticed, Redouane Faïd moved around wearing a burqa. This situation illustrates the danger that wearing such clothing poses for the French. Law No. 2010-1192 of October 11, 2010 prohibiting the concealment of the face in public spaces is nevertheless clear: “No one may, in public spaces, wear clothing intended to conceal their face. " He is It is obvious that this situation could recur and hide, if necessary, not a man on the run but terrorists. Wearing this garment represents a danger for the identification of people. However, there are places in our country where this law is obviously not respected. The 150 euro fine is not a deterrent and convictions are too rare. Indeed, “between October 11, 2010 and September 1, 2015, 1,623 people were checked in France, including 908 women wearing the burqa. 1,546 people were fined 150 euros and 77 others received a simple warning. In 2015, the number of fines fell. Do the services of the Ministry of the Interior know the reason? Is this due to a drop in the number of offenses or a drop in the number of fines? In addition, since 2015, no figures relating to the number of checks of people wearing a burqa has no longer been made public. She therefore questions him to find out what the figures are in this area and their evolution. She also questions him about the measures he intends to take so that the law prohibiting the concealment of the face in public spaces is firmly respected, in order to protect the security of the French.
