Not respect of the curfew: what envisages the law (Just how meaningless the French curfew is...)

Not respect of the curfew: what envisages the law

Any person enfreignant the rules of curfew incurs two months closes and or 3.750 euros of fine.

As into normal time, the imprisonment is divided by two for the minors, that is to say one month.

Moreover, the prefect can authorize searchings day and night without the police force needing the green light of the judicial power.

This measurement, indicated the Minister of Interior Department Nicolas Sarkozy, will apply in the event of suspicion of detention of weapons, or then, said the Prime Minister to the French National Assembly, "in the residences of people who would have launched projectiles or draw on the police force".

The law of 3 April 1955 instituting an emergency state also envisages a whole series of repressive measurements of which can use the administrative capacity, the Prime Minister having given the green light to some of them, detailed below:

- the prefect can institute "zones of safety" where the stay of the people is regulated, just like, according to Mr. de Villepin, traffic.

- the Minister of Interior Department or the prefects can pronounce house arrests in a territorial district or a given zone.

- They can also prohibit stay of the people in all or part of the department and order the handing-over with the authorities of various types of weapons with fire.

- the closing of places of meeting, including the bars or the rooms of spectacle, can be issued temporarily, just like the prohibition of the "meetings likely to cause or maintain the disorder".

On the other hand, Mr. de Villepin excluded to use the provision authorizing "control of the press and the publications from any nature like that of the radio broadcasts, cinematographic projections and the stage performances".

Possibility not evoked by the Prime Minister, the law of 1955 also envisages that, on report/ratio of the Ministers for Justice and Defense, a decree can authorize the military jurisdiction "to seize crimes, as well as offences which are related for them, concerned with the court of sat of this department".

Lastly, if the emergency state is issued in the Council of Ministers, its extension beyond 12 days can be authorized only by one law which must fix the final duration of it.

So, if I understand the translation correctly, if one of these youths of indeterminate ethnic origin, violates this curfew they face either one to two months in jail or a fine of 3,750 Euros ($4,414.87 US dollars). Hmmm, throw in a stern letter to their moms and this might have some real teeth.

I wonder if a strongly worded memo from the UN would help?

They'll never pay a fine. These "poor, impoverished" utes will appeal to the European Court of Human Rights. They will no doubt be found not liable. The Frenchies will wind up paying the Muslim terrorists in the end.

Yes, like it is not already against the law to torch cars and old ladies and beat old men to death.

That's just dandy, the French police have been scared for years to simply enter the Muslim districts, and that was before the riots. I'm sure they'll be eager to march into a Muslim apartment and start searching around now with the riots going on outside. /sarcasm

the closing of places of meeting, including the bars or the rooms of spectacle, can be issued temporarily, just like the prohibition of the "meetings likely to cause or maintain the disorder".

That would be great if mosques were included in the list, but that won't happen. The muslims might get mad, y'know.

I don't care how "left out" they feel. It doesn't justify all this violence. It is over reaction

Sheesh. That's a whole car (well, a french car :) ). So if one person fires 10 cars, they're WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY ahead.

What's wrong with this picture??

It's really an incentive!

The buck always seems to stop with the most prominent national right-winger in power. So I can hear the leftists saying it now...just like they did in NOLA...except they won't go all the way to the top this time. Get ready for choruses of

"It's SARKOZY'S FAULT!"
