Comparution Immediate

Police custody in France after a protest: 24 hours, renewable once by the prosecutor, a lawyer from the first hour, a doctor, the right to silence and to have a relative told. What the Code of Criminal Procedure says, from arrest to release.

Vandalism at a protest in France costs far more than a fine: up to 7 years in prison when committed as a group with a hidden face, 10 years for arson, plus paying for the damage. Penal Code penalties, graffiti, group offences and fast-track trials.
