La loi sur « l’usage légitime » des armes par les policiers continue d’être contestée

Protesters held demonstrations across France on September 19 and 20, 2026, to oppose a bill regarding how police use weapons.

The demonstrations target a law passed by deputies in July that establishes a presumption of legitimate use of weapons by law enforcement. According to La Croix, critics of the legislation describe the proposal as a license to kill.
