Question 6140 — public order

Summary

Mr. Vincent Trébuchet draws the attention of the Minister of State, Minister of the Interior, to the essential contribution of mayors to investigative work and to a situation which could compromise their role as intermediary with the police forces. Mayors, in their capacity as judicial police officers in their municipality, have prerogatives allowing them to use tools such as LAPI cameras (automated license plate reading). registration) to prevent offenses and manage local incivility. These systems, often financed by municipal taxpayers, fall under the jurisdiction of communities, in compliance with the obligations set by the internal security code and the CNIL. However, in certain municipalities, notably in his constituency, restrictions on access to these cameras have been imposed without consultation, reserving their use for only gendarmerie services and depriving elected officials of their use, even to respond to urgent requisitions. This measure prevents mayors from fully carrying out their missions, burdens procedures and limits the responsiveness of communities to local needs. Article R. 330-2 of the Highway Code authorizes mayors to access the vehicle registration file to identify perpetrators of offenses environmental, subject to a secure system. However, the cost of these IT tools, prohibitive for small municipalities, slows down their implementation, while the ministry has said it is ready to support elected officials without proposing concrete solutions to date. Faced with this situation, which reflects a lack of confidence in elected officials and excessive centralization, he questions: the reasons why restrictions on access to LAPI cameras, municipal property, can be imposed without consulting local elected officials; the measures envisaged to guarantee mayors effective access to the data from their video protection devices, in compliance with security and data protection requirements; the means that the ministry intends to mobilize, in particular via pooling or financial support, to provide small municipalities the tools necessary for using the registration file, in accordance with article R. 330-2. He asks him what he plans to do about it.
