Toulouse: a biker of the municipal police injured, the biker pursued free
On Saturday October 16, the municipal police tried to intercept a biker. This pursuit ended in an accident. The fugitive will be tried in April.
The pursuit ended badly on Saturday afternoon on the Poudrerie footbridge, between the Empalot district and the Ile du Ramier in Toulouse. A biker from the municipal police who was trying to intercept the fugitive fell heavily, blessing himself with one leg (our Sunday education). He also received the support of Emilion Esnault, the Toulouse elected official in charge of security.
After passing through the hospital, the driver of the large-capacity motorcycle, described on the run, was taken into police custody. The municipal police accused him of non-compliance with the highway code in the context of a marriage, and of refusing to comply when the agents asked him to stop at Place du Capitole and then on Pont Neuf. Only the checks of the judicial police officers, within the framework of police custody, would not have noticed the same offenses. What underlines the lawyer of the suspect, Me Alexandre Parra-Bruguière: “I could note while reading this file that the versions of the municipal police officers were in contradiction with the images of the video surveillance of the city of Toulouse. And also that it was the municipal policeman on his motorcycle who had hit my client, and not the other way around. What moreover the police officer recognized. It therefore seems normal to me that the imprisonment requested by the prosecution was refused by the judge of freedoms and detention. “
The prosecution wanted to try the biker, a 32-year-old man already convicted of traffic violations, before the criminal court as part of the immediate comparisons. The hearing had been announced for Thursday, but the judge of freedoms and detention, in view of the explanations of the defense and the investigations, did not issue a committal warrant. Left free but under judicial control, the offending motorcyclist will be tried before the criminal court in early April. lFor his part, the municipal officer is trying to recover from his accident
