Statement summary
Coulomme opposes the proposed presumption and calls for deletion of the provision. He argues that police should remain subject to the ordinary rules governing self-defense.
“Le risque de ce texte, c’est de basculer dans la négation de l’État de droit.”
France’s National Assembly approved a rebuttable presumption that police and gendarmes who fire their weapons acted within the law. The government calls it procedural protection; rights bodies warn about investigations and accountability.
