About
The BAC (Brigade Anti-Criminalité) is a plainclothes police unit in France. Recent news highlights controversies surrounding their actions. A former BAC officer was sentenced to ten years for the 2020 murder of Olivio Gomes, an automobilist, after a trial where he admitted to excessive force. The case has drawn significant media attention, focusing on police conduct and accountability. Separately, the BAC is also involved in addressing the misuse of nitrous oxide (laughing gas), particularly among young people, indicating their role in tackling public order issues. The BAC's actions, both in serious crime and public health contexts, are under scrutiny, raising questions about police tactics and oversight.
