Appalling implementation of extremely insidious laws. Viva Triny. Viva freedom of expression. Viva Art.

How have other tyrannical laws been changed?

Photographing police officers is the only way ‘just folks’ can document abuses and kindnesses. These kinds of laws restricting documentation of anyone must be abolished for sure.

So sorry this had to color your event, Loiez. So sorry your friend was traumatized in this way.

The whole story is very stupid and unfortunately i also think it can happen in more countries.

But i sure wish you all manage to go to the bottom of it and make those policeman feel bad about it and off course pay for their actions.

we really shouldn’t accept it.

Parfaitement lamentable ! La moindre des choses serait des excuses et une réparation pour le matériel détruit.

The actions of these police are just completely unconscionable. We have got to stop accepting this kind of unreasonable behavior.

“Je leur parle avec des mots poétiques. Ils font un effort pour ne pas me rouer de coups. Je les regarde avec des yeux empreints de bonté. Ils me rendent des regards de lame.Je leur souris avec sympathie et confiance. Ils crispent leurs bouches minces. Alors je m’en vais – et ils me fusillent dans le dos.” (Louis Calaferte)

My deepest sympathies go out to Triny and I hope that the complaint with the French Prosecutor’s Office can lead to something.

However, I must say that I have big doubts about it because since the memory card was “gone”, there could be no evidence as to whether Triny did point the camera at the police or not.

I suppose that there were quite a few eyewitnesses to this case, and I hope for the very best outcome.

Again, my sympathies go to Triny who had to experience that night in the cell at that low temperature. Police officers stepping over their line is unfortunately happening all over the world, and we as a public should make our mark in protesting against it.

The only word for this is UNACCEPTABLE. I came to France to get away from things like this.

Outrageous! Yesterday I saw policemen in California, dressed in jackboots, black uniforms and brandishing weapons towards college students and yelling “Don’t call me a fascist! I’m just trying to do my job!”. Apparently his job was to arrest a protester in a tree or anyone who came too close to the tree. They were unable to arrest the protester and so they cordoned off the tree and read it it’s rights.
