A 21-year-old man, resident in Essonne, does not have a driving license and is banned by the courts from appearing in Val-d'Oise. In recent years, “refusals to comply”, as the magistrates say, have become more and more numerous.

The Ministry of the Interior recorded 25,822 cases last year in France, or one every twenty minutes. This case comes less than three days after another particularly violent refusal to comply, this time in the agglomeration of Cergy-Pontoise.
