Prevention Measures in Paris: Drones to Capture Riots, Curfews and Public Transport Suspension

This Sunday, July 2, the police will be able to use drones to capture and record images of any riots. This measure will apply in Paris, all of Seine-Saint-Denis and in certain municipalities of Hauts-de-Seine. Buses and trams will stop running from 9 p.m. Several cities will enforce a curfew. Update on prevention measures in the region.

Drones will no doubt be observable in the Parisian sky on July 2. The Paris police headquarters announces that a prefectural decree authorizes it to use them. These can be used to capture and record images of the riots which could take place six days after the death of Nahel, a 17-year-old boy killed by police fire.

The measure will come into force this Sunday, July 2, from 6 p.m. in Paris, in Seine-Saint-Denis and in certain municipalities of Hauts-de-Seine. It will be maintained until the following day, 6 hours.

Like the preventive measures taken since Friday June 29 in Île-de-France, public transport (bus and tram) will be stopped from 9 p.m. Since the beginning of the riots, bus depots like that of Aubervilliers have been targeted by attacks. This Sunday, bus line 159 and tram T5 which connects Saint-Denis to Sarcelles are still at a standstill. A T6 train in Clamart was notably destroyed during these riots. A total of 15 buses were destroyed by arson.

Many curfews will be observed in several Ile-de-France municipalities. This is the case in Clamart in the Hauts-de-Seine which was the first town in the region to introduce the measure. Other cities such as Chilly-Mazarin (Essonne) or Levallois-Perret (Hauts-de-Seine) apply it in certain streets, according to our colleagues from Parisian.
