The police custody reform of April 14, 2011 represents an unprecedented situation of one-third penetration into what was previously a police lock-up: suspects now have the right to receive a lawyer’s assistance during police questioning, although this lawyer’s power is legally limited. In practical terms, this reform means that police know-how, skills, and autonomy are now subject to the control of these legal professionals. Drawing on a four-month ethnographic survey of several police services, this article proposes to observe whether and how police officers are uniting against this reform. Admittedly, there is a discourse among the police of spontaneously rejecting lawyers. However, the opposition between police officers and lawyers is not fixed, but depends on the positions that they occupy in their respective institutions and the differentiated uses they make of police custody.
