A particularly tough “client” animated for several days the daily life of the gendarmes of Bourg, in Gironde. These tell about Facebook, the story of this motorist summoned to their home on Thursday, February 2 to have been checked, a few months earlier, while driving without a license, therefore without insurance, under narcotics to top it off. Never mind. “Not very concerned about the reasons for his summons, the person concerned showed up with his vehicle parked next to the brigade”, explain the soldiers.
Visibly ill-disposed, the man, already “multi-recidivist”, was placed in police custody and then brought in stride to be tried in immediate appearance. He received a 12-month suspended prison sentence, a fine of 250 euros and an obligation to pass the license. His car was also confiscated.
Rebelote the next day
But the best – or rather the worst – was yet to come. The next day during a check, the gendarmes of Bourg fall on the same driver, driving another car. Second police custody in two days, second vehicle confiscated, this time the motorist is placed all weekend in pre-trial detention. Judged on Monday, he did not escape the prison term. The court handed down a five-month sentence.
