Cerfia indicated that a Senate report presented 30 proposals following the violence on October 17, aimed at strengthening the fight against perpetrators of vandalism. According to Cerfia's account, two senators had notably proposed to seize certain social benefits from individuals convicted of violence in order to compensate the victims, and to raise the maximum penalty for participation in a violent group from 1 to 3 years. The proposals also included sanctions for participating in undeclared demonstrations, a tightening of penalties for banned protests, the use of drones and artificial intelligence during high-risk gatherings, as well as coded marking products to facilitate the identification and subsequent arrest of perpetrators of violence. Cerfia also mentioned an administrative ban on protesting for individuals likely to seriously disturb public order and the presence of prosecuting magistrates alongside law enforcement to expedite judicial procedures. Cerfia attributed this information to Le Figaro. #France #ViolencesUrbaines #SécuritéPublique (translated)
