During their various operations on French roads, the gendarmes sometimes come across unusual situations.
In recent weeks, the soldiers of Toulouse, for example, intervened on the A62 motorway for toilet cabins lost on the road by a truck, and those from Arras seized a Tokyo police car in Pas-de-Calais. .
Last Sunday, it was the gendarmes of the Motorized Peloton of Cannet-des-Maures who checked a strange vehicle in the Var: the car was indeed screen-printed "Sheriff", as reported by France Bleu Provence.

Unheard of for the police who intercepted a vintage Ford Explorer around 9 p.m. on the DN7 departmental road.
Its driver had largely exceeded the authorized speed by driving at 135 km / h instead of 70 km / h.
A friend's car
The 40-year-old Varois had borrowed a friend's exceptional car.
But this little tour behind the wheel of the American brand car cost him dearly: he had his driving license confiscated, on which four points were taken from him.
He will also have to appear before the Draguignan court in the coming weeks.
