Our train leaves Paris
:50:18
and happens to slows down
:50:20
as we pass
Ivry waste collection center.
:50:23
The heart of our topic,
:50:25
since we're going to Prades,
home of our musician Joanna.
:50:28
She met youngsters
who had had a brush with the law
:50:33
for damaging
the trash bins of a supermarket
:50:36
because the contents
had been doused in bleach.
:50:41
I thought I could film them
explaining the case
:50:44
if I met all the protagonists -
:50:47
the youngsters gathered
on the square,
:50:50
the manager of the shop,
:50:53
and the magistrate from the court,
:50:56
who seemed concerned and polite.
:50:58
I wanted to know how
these homeless
:51:01
coped with the law.
:51:04
Should squatting be legalized?
:51:07
I could work on it,
if not for this robe.
:51:12
But your robe is lovely!
:51:14
It was a simple case
of youngsters vandalizing things.
:51:18
I found them guilty of violence.
:51:20
Before bleach was sprayed on?
:51:22
They'd knock over the trash
:51:25
and my staff had
to clean up after them.
:51:31
That led me to apply the law
:51:35
and bleach the trash,
which they didn't appreciate.
:51:39
- We got angry.
- But nothing serious.
:51:41
We knocked over trash cans,
:51:44
and damaged the wall
with graffiti and tomatoes.
:51:48
They broke the camera.
:51:50
It was locked,
we had to climb a little.
:51:53
They went over the fence.
:51:56
They were trespassing
on private property.
:51:59
Appearing in court
was itself a penalty
