The roar of the engines made the police roar: an order of the prefecture of the Rhône published this Thursday prohibits any wild gathering of cars, motorcycles and other large engines in Bron, Saint-Priest and Chassieu on the night of this Friday to Saturday.
"A large police device will be engaged, the participants will be fined", indicates the prefecture on Twitter.
Police action in the face of wild gatherings continues!
The prefect banned by decree gatherings in #Bron, #StPriest and #Chassieu on the night of Friday 29 to Saturday 30 October:

This prefectural decree comes after several precedents that have gathered hundreds of people in recent weeks. On October 22 in Bron, the police had deployed around 100 police officers and fined 70 people, including 26 for speeding, during a gathering of vehicles. Two organizers of the evening, arrested since, were sentenced to six months in prison, three of which were suspended, and a fine of 1,000 euros.
Two weeks earlier, several hundred vehicles had already taken part in a rally in the east of the Lyon metropolitan area and the police had fined a hundred people.
On October 23, the police also arrested three members of a group of rappers adept at urban rodeos, the "Dalton", who are to be tried on November 26.
Photos and videos of these gatherings circulate each time on social networks.
