The Minister of the Interior spoke on Monday about abandoning the so-called “bottleneck” interrogation method. Police unions say they are confused.
they say they are cautious and worried. Interior Minister Christophe Castaner’s announcements on Monday, including abandoning a so-called “bottleneck” interrogation method to improve the behavior of security forces, have left police unions “suspicious”.
“It is doubtful as a whole in the minister’s statements, and in particular in the removal of technical bottlenecks,” says the national delegate of the peacekeeping alliance, Alliance, Frédéric Lagache. “As soon as it’s done in a short time, it’s the only technique that allows agents to control a person who weighs more,” observes Frédéric Lagache. Otherwise, everything will come down to a street fight or the use of stun guns, he says.

During a press conference that was supposed to answer the question of recurring forces of order for racism or violence, Christophe Castaner specifically announced the abandonment of the “method of taking it by the throat, the so-called bottlenecks”, the result of the Chouviat case, the deliveryman died in Paris, in January 2020, during the arrest.
“We have the feeling that we are victims of redemption”
Yves Lefebvre, general secretary of the Unite-SGP-Police union, also asks: “if someone refuses to be questioned and there is no longer a key bottleneck, that is – what do we do?” For Yves Lefebvre, “the minister should inform us sooner.” “If on Thursday [date of the meeting between Christophe Castaner and unions to Beauvau], we are told that it is being replaced by a better intervention technique, you will be a customer. But it can take months or even years until the whole world is formed,” he says.
“there are political ads and the reality on the ground. It seems that we live in a world of caring bears, where everyone is good except for the policemen who are the bad guys”, jokes the general secretary of Unsa-Police, Philippe Capon.
In a broader sense, Yves Lefebvre would like “Christopher Castaner to reaffirm that the vast majority of police officers are not racists and that they are republicans.” “My impression is that it is being used as a variable in relation to public opinion,” he said.

“All advertisements are not undesirable, especially those dealing with the fight against racism, but you have the feeling that you are victims of redemption. You can feel the excitement of politics,” notes Patrice Ribeiro, general secretary of the Synergies-appointed officers union.

Frédéric Lagache is also concerned about the minister’s remarks about the suspension of officials in case of “suspicion of racism”. “Either it’s proven, or it’s a matter of suspicion. But, in any case, a police officer has the right to the presumption of innocence like everyone else. Before suspending, you should wait until the end of the investigation. It’s not Saturday – citizens,” he says.
