Question 4066 — road safety

Summary

Ms. Gisèle Lelouis alerts Mr. Minister of State, Keeper of the Seals, Minister of Justice, to the scourge of refusals to comply, which continue to multiply, while their perpetrators are ever younger, as was the case in the Arnaveaux district in the 14th arrondissement of Marseille on Thursday, May 9, 2024. That day, the driver, aged 16 and without a driving license, refused to submit to an inspection and hit the three police officers from the road safety company (CSR) who faced him. Fortunately, the three police officers were not seriously injured. However, this is not the first or only refusal to comply committed by a minor. On April 17, 2024 in Schiltigheim, a 17-year-old minor drove towards a police officer with his motocross bike, refusing to obey orders to stop. On November 26, 2023 in Toulouse, a 15-year-old minor was trying to escape a traffic stop. On May 2, 2023 in Nantes, a 16-year-old teenager driving a stolen car refused to comply during a police check and knocked down then dragged one of the police officers for 20 meters, for which he was sentenced to 35 hours of community service (TIG). This is without recalling the highly publicized case concerning Nahel, aged 17, who on June 27, 2023 committed a refusal to comply and whose tragic death caused unprecedented riots. These episodes of violence cost taxpayers nearly a billion euros. This encroachment of society is particularly worrying, especially since nearly 4,000 minors are involved in traffic offenses, including refusals to comply. While there is less than one refusal to comply every 20 minutes in France, their number increased by 19.4% between 2017 and 2023. Furthermore, while the majority European candidate refused to admit the incontestable and quantified link between mass immigration and the increase in delinquency, it is necessary to remember that in Marseille, more than 67% of acts of delinquency are committed by foreigners and that one unaccompanied foreign minor in ten commits an act of delinquency in France. The MP deplores the fact that to date no measure has enabled guarantee the safety of law enforcement and all French people. While the majority European candidate thought that the splitting of classes in schools would make it possible to eradicate delinquency among young people, it would above all be necessary to provide a firm and serious response through the implementation of a specific measure for minors involved in a refusal to comply or having harmed the forces of the order. Thus, she asks him what he intends to do to seriously and concretely eradicate this scourge, which is increasing everywhere in the territory and which reinforces every day the insecurity experienced by the police as well as by all French people.
