"The flagship measure of this bill is the creation of a municipal police system with 'expanded judicial authority,' including the right to issue fines for a range of offences."
"Those that choose to expand the powers of municipal police would see officers permitted to issue fixed fines for certain minor offences, including a €200 fine for drug use."
"In total, 18 offences are listed in the text sent by the Senate, compared to nine in the government's initial version."
A proposed law in France aims to expand the powers of municipal police officers, allowing them to issue €200 fines for 18 specific offences. This includes speeding, flytipping, and unlicensed street sales. The bill, which has received parliamentary approval, seeks to enhance the role and training of the 28,000 municipal and 600 rural police officers. Local authorities will decide whether to adopt these new powers, which aim to support internal security forces and address low-level crime effectively.
