Blanc-Mesnil. April 2022. The anti-crime brigade (BAC) is a civilian police force, intervening on small and medium crimes. Controversial reputation, accused of murder and police violence, considered as "cowboys with an easy trigger", the work and the existence of the anti-crime squad is questioned, especially with the installation of a social peace in the difficult and violent districts. The deal; less crime in exchange for letting them do their traffic.
