Argentine: assouplissement de l'usage des armes à feu par la police

Les policiers “vont avoir la capacité d’agir sans crainte. Un policier qui a peur est potentiellement un policier mort”, a déclaré ce mercredi 13 mars la ministre de la Sécurité Patricia Bullrich.

Le gouvernement argentin a officiellement assoupli ce mercredi 13 mars l’usage des armes à feu par toutes les forces de sécurité fédérales (nationales), notamment en cas de résistance ou de fuite, rétablissant un protocole de 2018 qu’avait supprimé le gouvernement précédent.

Le nouveau règlement, qui doit être publié ce jeudi au Journal officiel, énumère une série de conditions permettant l’usage des armes, en cas de “danger imminent de mort de l’agent, ou de citoyens menacés par des criminels”, a déclaré la ministre de la Sécurité Patricia Bullrich en conférence de presse à Rosario (centre).

“Une notion de progressivité”

Il valide aussi l’usage des armes pour empêcher un délit “particulièrement grave”, interpeller “qui représente un danger imminent et oppose une résistance à l’autorité”, ou “empêcher la fuite de qui représente un danger imminent pour la vie ou l’intégrité physique des personnes”.

Selon la ministre de la Sécurité Patricia Bullrich, le cadre pose des “règles claires”, quand les forces de sécurité hésitaient parfois à utiliser leurs armes par peur de poursuites.

Mais, a-t-elle assuré, “une notion de progressivité” reste valide. “S’il est possible de ne pas utiliser l’arme, elle ne s’utilise pas”.

L’annonce étend à toutes les forces nationales un protocole mis en place le mois dernier en priorité pour la police navale. Celle-ci, aux frontières fluviales du nord, zone de trafic, est confrontée au crime organisé. Et sera dorénavant équipée d’armes plus puissantes.
