This is called having a very personal reading of the law. A 68-year-old man believed that his car was completely within the definition of his residence. He therefore decided to take his vehicle, to go to Embres-et-Castelmaure, in a place - "which he knew very well", specifies the gendarmerie - and to walk… a kilometer around his vehicle.
Unfortunately for him, the retiree got lost in the fog. Unable to find his car, he ended up calling the gendarmes at 10 p.m. They managed to locate him ... but in the meantime he had moved and his phone became out of order.
CRS, mountain police, dog handler ...
In this steep area bordering the Aude and the Pyrénées-Orientales, it took the intervention, in the end, of six gendarmes from the high mountain gendarmerie platoon, four CRS mountain rescue teams including a dog handler and two gendarmes from the Tuchan brigade in Aude.
Finally found in the early morning in the rain, he mobilized the police for a whole night. Verbalized for not having respected the confinement measures, he is said to have announced his intention to contest this fine of 135 euros for not having respected the confinement put in place to curb the coronavirus pandemic. He considered himself in fact in his right by being less than a kilometer ... from his car.
