Public insults and drunk driving
Public insults and drunk driving
In March 2011, he spoke on French TV about two nights he spent in police custody. During his testimony, he called the policemen from these nights "odious cops". He also talked about all policemen in general and used the terms "IQ of a dead octopus" or "morons, thugs in uniform, scum who have fallen to the good side". The Minister of the Interior (France) filed a complaint, and Bedos was convicted in 2012 to a 2000 euros fine by the Paris criminal court for public insults towards the police. In 2014, he was sentenced to three months in prison and a 750 euro fine for drunk driving, insulting and threatening to kill police officers after falling off his scooter.
