A containment check on March 26, 2020 in Toulouse. - A. Boissière - DDSP31

To great ills, great means. This Thursday morning in Toulouse, on day 10 of the great confinement due to coronavirus, the municipal and national police jointly carried out a vast control of the residents on the go around the Arnaud-Bernard district, in the city center. Pedestrians, cyclists, bus passengers, motorists, some 300 people were asked to file their famous waiver. Only the Ministry of the Interior reports on the number of tickets, but according to our sources, around 30 minutes at 135 euros have been distributed. Especially to those who had no documents and live so confined that they apparently didn't know they needed one.

The departmental direction of public security (DDSP) indicates that controls of this type are carried out day and night, in the subway and all the agglomeration. Some inevitably turn sour. Tuesday evening, the Mirail specialized field brigade (BST) intercepted two young people, 19 and 23, on scooters in the Fourguette district. Without helmet and without derogation. They insulted the police and attempted to beat them. They ended up confined in police custody.

The same evening in Tournefeuille, a man succeeded in being fined twice in two days. For him, the painful climbed to 1,500 euros.
