Gender police strike fear [insult a Brussels woman cop & one month jail]

Gender police strike fear:   Insult a woman cop because of her gender  in Brussels?

You will either pay  a huge fine or  spend one month in jail.

First time ever a person is convicted of  sexism in the public square.

A court in Brussels fined a young man   €3,000 for insulting a police officer because of her gender, Le Soir reported.

It comes as France prepares to create an offence of street harassment, described as “sexist and sexual outrage”.

The Belgian case involved a driver who was stopped for breaking the highway code. The young man – who has not been identified – insulted the police officer because of her gender, the court heard.

He was reported to have said she would be better off doing a job “adapted to women”, in a scene witnessed by several other people.

The driver was found guilty of three charges: contempt of a police officer, making threats and sexist remarks in public, and a serious violation of another personâ€s dignity because of her gender.

The driver was found guilty of three charges: contempt of a police officer, making threats and sexist remarks in public, and a serious violation of another person’s gender.

“This is the first time we have used this law to prosecute someone,” said Gilles Blondeau, spokesman for the public prosecutor’s office. “It is quite common for people arrested by the police to insult and threaten. But to personally blame a policewoman because of her sex is different.

“It was a good case to test this law: a concrete and very clear case, with many witnesses. This is obviously not always the case.”
