Légitime défense des forces de l'ordre

Stage committeeUpdated 7d ago

This is a French ordinary bill (proposition de loi) tabled in the National Assembly during the 15th legislature, concerning self-defence ('légitime défense') as it applies to police and gendarmerie officers. Such bills typically seek to clarify when officers may use force or firearms without facing criminal liability, a topic that generates strong public debate in France about public safety, police accountability and the limits of lawful force. The measure would mainly affect police and gendarmerie personnel and the courts that assess their conduct, as well as members of the public who interact with law enforcement. The exact changes depend on the bill's text, which is not reflected in this metadata summary.
