Police Tribunal (France)

A police tribunal is a criminal jurisdiction which judges all classes of contraventions committed by adults. More serious offenses (infractions) are judged by a tribunal correctionnel, correctional tribunal, when they are délits or misdemeanors, or by a cour d'assises (for a crime, analogous to a felony).

Composition

The police tribunal sits at the tribunal d'instance and is composed of a juge d'instance and a greffier, or court clerk. The ministère public is represented by the procureur de la République or one of his representatives, known as substituts (substitutes) if the offense is a fifth-degree contravention.


Jurisdiction

Jurisdiction of subject (ratione materiæ)

The police tribunal handles contraventions, except offenses punishable by a penalty of imprisonment or of fines greater than 3,000 euros, voire 4,000(? -t) euros (Article 521[1] of the code de procédure pénale, Code of Penal Procedure). The version approved November 18, 2016 provides for a few exceptions, such as an edict of the Conseil d'État. The police tribunal is also competent d'attribution, meaning it also has jurisdiction, in matters of customs, as provided by Article 356 of the Code des douanes, Code of Customs,[2] which specifies that the "tribunaux de police connaissent des contraventions douanières et de toutes les questions douanières soulevées par voie d'exception," (the police tribunals have authority ("know") in customs infractions and in all customs questions which may arise as exceptions).

Jurisdiction of place (ratione loci)

The police tribunal may handle infractions from any of the following relevant scopes of authority:

  • place of the infraction's commission or discovery
  • of the defendant's residence
  • site of an impounded subject vehicle

The other compétence rules are identical to those of the tribunal correctionnel, (correctional tribunal).

gollark: I was thinking about automation-type tools, but this sort of thing seems a decent idea too, so I might just do that.
gollark: That might make sense (restricted to the relevant folders, not losg and random stuff, at least).
gollark: What's a good way to manage all my services and stuff in a reasonably centralized fashion (yes, I know this is pretty vague)? I run many random webservices (some run in docker, they're all behind a reverse proxy (caddy)), having manually installed them, configured configuration, and in some cases set up service files for them, but I'm worried about the hassle restoring all this stuff would be in case of server failure and backing up all of `/` just seems inelegant. What I eventually want is to be able to, if my server or drives fail, redownload some scripts/configs/whatever, run some simple commands, load a backup of the relevant data and restart things.
gollark: <@404675960663703552> Random kind of late interjection: Ryzen can do (not the registered kind) ECC memory, though probably not on all boards. There's an ASRock one with IPMI and stuff which supports it.
gollark: Just buy 5 MacBooks, then, obviously.
