Seven convictions
That day, the man, whose criminal record carried seven convictions, in particular for theft with degradation and violence in meetings, had been photographed by a police officer, commissioner, in civilian clothes.
She says she saw him throw trash cans at the window of the LR office on at least two occasions.
His lawyer, Me Sonia Houzé requested the release for the benefit of the doubt, stressing that the photos had not been taken at a time to prove the alleged facts, but also that his client had been questioned in police custody without the presence of his lawyer.
The prosecutor requested a fine of 800 euros, as well as a two-year ban on demonstrating and carrying a weapon.
"
We do not laugh with this type of facts, which are an attack on democracy

we can show our dissatisfaction but not by ransacking
".
The court canceled all hearings at the police station but found him guilty based on the police officer's testimony.
