Question 34027 — security of property and people

Summary

Mr. Jean-Noël Barrot draws the attention of the Minister of the Interior to the acceleration of the authorization procedure for mobile cameras for municipalities. During the summer of 2020, all of the municipalities in the Versailles Grand Parc agglomeration experienced a significant increase in incivility and more serious acts of delinquency, in normally calm places. The video protection system deployed by the city made it possible to note certain direct facts and thus facilitate the intervention of the police or to return to the images retrospectively and help the police in their research. However, the system does not cover all roads and public places in the area. Thus, municipalities invest in mobile cameras that they can temporarily install on certain sites, to cover an event or in response to a occasional occurrence (wild dumping, appearance of recurring graffiti in certain areas, damage, etc.). In the latter case, the installation of these cameras must be very rapid. However, currently, the installation of these cameras cannot be carried out quickly due to lengthy administrative procedures. Indeed, in accordance with articles L. 223-1 to L. 223-9, L. 251-1 and L. 613-13 of the internal security code and the decree of August 3, 2007, any camera to be deployed on the territory and filming public roads must be the subject of a prefectural declaration, approved by decree. The file, created in consultation with the police (police station or gendarmerie), is submitted to the prefectural commission, which grants authorizations. The processing time is on average two months or more between submission of the file and receipt of the authorization order. This deadline is very often incompatible with the requirements of municipalities and the requests of law enforcement. Police stations and gendarmes have the internal resources to ensure that files and installations comply with the legal framework in force. It would be desirable for law enforcement to be authorized to validate the files for these mobile cameras and for this authorization to be transmitted to the prefecture, which would retain the right and duty to control the installations. This simpler and faster procedure would allow municipalities to be more responsive to incivility, as part of the fight against delinquency. He asks her for her position on this subject.
