, the national police established the context of this control.

The video dates "March 10, during a control in the district of Moulins", we confirm on the side of the information and communication service of the national police (Sicop).

The operation took place "during a patrol, near a deal point", after the "discovery of drugs on the passenger of a vehicle, fined for these facts".

And it is the driver of this vehicle that we see in the images.

"It is a woman, a member of a crew of the intervention company of Nice, who proceeded to this palpation as is the rule when it is a woman who is controlled", further notes the Sicop, according to which the operation took place "in accordance with technical procedures".

“There is no debate.

This palpation was carried out according to the rules of the art.

There is no problem with the actions carried out, ”also assures Nicolas Vincent, departmental secretary of the Alliance police union in the Alpes-Maritimes.

According to article R434-16 of the Internal Security Code, “the security pat-down is exclusively a security measure” which is not “of a systematic nature” and it must be performed out of sight of the public ”when "Circumstances permit".
