Assessing the Cazeneuve Law: A Parliamentary Mission to Review the Use of Firearms in Law Enforcement

“Put things flat, over a long period of time”: Thomas Rudigoz, Renaissance deputy for the Rhône, will be the rapporteur for the majority of a parliamentary mission, which should begin on September 15, to assess the Cazeneuve law of February 28, 2017, which relaxed the conditions for the use of firearms in law enforcement. The rapporteur for the opposition will be a socialist deputy from the North, Roger Vicot.

The mission could last up to six months, to be “detached from the burning news”, and in particular from the death of Nahel, a teenager killed by police shooting in Nanterre, at the end of June. “On the side of Nupes and LFI, we had very strong and stigmatizing reactions to the police,” laments Thomas Rudigoz.

“Working calmly”

In this context, “the President of the Law Commission [de l’Assemblée nationale] said to himself that it was necessary to review the Cazeneuve law, how it is applied, how the use of weapons has evolved in practice. I know that we can work calmly with Roger Vicot, with objectivity on both sides, without falling into sweeping declarations. These questions are tricky. »

“The police officers I work with, at the highest and lowest levels of the hierarchy, are Republican cops. I’m not saying that there aren’t bad apples, blunders, thugs, who need to be punished. But we have a republican police, present in complicated times: attacks, black blocks, ultra-violent delinquency, drug trafficking, riots.
