- Nearly 10,000 tickets for non-compliance with confinement were drawn up in three weeks in Toulouse and Haute-Garonne.
- Beyond the increasing number of controls, the activity of the police is completely transformed.
- With good news such as the impressive fall in burglaries or accidents but also the worrying explosion of domestic violence.
- In addition, profiteers of containment appear.
Dealers in need of stock but imaginative, cyber-scammers, and violent men with liberated impulses… in three weeks, the unprecedented confinement imposed by the coronavirus has changed the face of delinquency in Toulouse and in Haute-Garonne. The police and gendarmes obviously control the compliance with the measures. They distributed nearly 10,000 tickets (4,300 in gendarmerie areas, more than 5,000 in urban areas). And according to Dominique Alzéari, the public prosecutor of Toulouse, there is no standard profile for these offenders who are free from derogation. "They are as diverse as the population," he says.
And then there are the real refractories, those who since March 24 have been caught more than four times, making themselves guilty of the famous offense of reiteration. Eleven were placed in police custody in three weeks, including a young Empalot this Tuesday, controlled without authorization for the sixth time. The public prosecutor classifies these allergic to confinement in two categories: "Young people under 25 years more unconscious than dangerous and others who have the will taken not to submit". For the latter, three prison sentences were imposed, two suspended, and a farm against a 19-year-old who admitted on Friday to the court that he was going out to stock up on cannabis. In addition, according to Nelson Brouard, the director of the public security department (DDSP), two of the detainees had a compelling reason to leave since they are known to his police services for their link with drug trafficking.
Dealers in difficulty but who have resources
Concerning the points of deals precisely, the prefect Etienne Guyot announces without surprise that their "frequentation is in strong fall". The stopping of supplies by road from Morocco and then Spain causes a drastic drop in stocks, with the corollary a significant increase in prices for cannabis. But those who live on their reserve adapt, as always. Drive geolocated thanks to Snapchat is on the rise, as are home deliveries "billed 10 euros more", according to Nathalie Tallevast, the patron saint of SRPJ.

From scam artists to miracle cures
Without giving figures, the public prosecutor also notes a new cybercrime of confinement. The judicial police and the gendarmerie work on trafficking in masks online, the sale of derogatory certificates to the most naive, but also in the trade in miracle treatments against the Covid-19. Scammers based in Haute-Garonne have even offered veterinary products to cure the coronavirus.
Intra-family violence on the rise
According to General Jacques Plays, the head of the Haute-Garonne gendarmerie group, the daily life of the military has radically changed its face: burglaries are down 68%, bodily injuries fall by 71%, vehicle thefts by 73 %. On the other hand, interventions for fuss jumped 108% and those for neighborhood disputes by 154%. Above all, as everywhere in France, domestic violence - domestic violence or mistreated children - exploded by 83% in the gendarmerie zone.
Same observation in the police zone. Nelson Brouard notes that, with the help of alcohol, "containment is rather unsuccessful for a certain number of people" and that the victims still have "a lot of trouble going out to file a complaint". In the past two weeks, 38 men have been taken into police custody for domestic violence, according to the prosecution. Criminal proceedings were given in 24 cases, including six immediate court appearances. Justice has taken care of 18 women victims for the last week alone.
