Overview
- Two police officers were tried in Créteil on December 1 for aggravated intentional violence after their marked car struck a motorcyclist on the A4 on October 14.
- The prosecutor requested 18 months’ suspended prison terms for each officer, a two‑year prohibition on carrying a weapon, and a one‑year ban from public service with provisional enforcement.
- The driver admitted a driving error and misjudged speed, while the passenger called his outstretched arm a reflex, and both rejected any intent to cause harm.
- A Tesla dashcam recorded the collision, and the victim’s lawyer argued the video was crucial to the case reaching court.
- New surveillance images published shortly before the hearing show the motorcyclist lane‑filtering and overtaking on the right before the impact, with the court’s decision due December 18.
