Carcassonne municipal police misconduct scandal

Overview

A scandal emerged in Carcassonne, France, after video footage surfaced showing municipal police officers making a series of discriminatory remarks. The recordings, which were captured by a body camera believed to be off during a November 2025 patrol, contain racist, sexist, homophobic, and conspiracy-related comments.

One officer, identified as a member of the Rassemblement National (RN) security service, was noted as a primary speaker in the footage. In response to the leak, the Carcassonne public prosecutor opened an investigation. The RN excluded the officer from the party, describing the remarks as “penally reprehensible,” while the Mayor of Carcassonne suspended all officers appearing in the video and announced municipal police reforms.

Following the release of the footage on platforms like TikTok, the French Interior Minister ordered an inspection of the municipal police by the General Inspectorate of Administration.
