JR they are Willing Workers On Organic Farms.
Clair I also found this info on www.service-public.fr and can tell you they gave her no option when taking her fingerprints but then she was not accompanied by me as I would have asked, what the crime was and had they been authorised to take her fingerprints. Unfortunately I think a lot was lost in translation. She asked for a copy and was denied this. This also happened to me when I porte plainte against someone, I was not allowed a copy of what I had signed. Now this matter was never referred to again and as my PP was against the then mayor I think it was just filed in the waste paper bin, and I think my friend's case is also destined for the bin and was just to frighten her, but if it is taken further we are all better informed thanks to research done and replieson this forum. Our doctor seemed to know more than us when I rang him he said there was a crime and that was why she had been fingerprinted. The crime was breaking a window to get into another property (also her own), i.e; criminal damage.
We will be prepared now whatever happens next or not............................

I think the statement in french as quoted by Clair re fingerprints is a little confusing. AsI read it, if there is a crime they can take fingerprints, but if they are only wanting to verify somone's identity for any other reason then they have to have authorisation.Is this how people understand this? So in her case they had a 'crime', but whether breaking a window in your own property is a crime is another matter.

This is history repeating itself. 6 years ago another then resident of the village was taken to the gendarmerie, questioned, fingerprinted, photographed etc. She is American and her 'crime' was to have taken her neighbour (french) up on his offer, non paid, to put a layer of her concrete on her foundations. Exactly the same Gendarme!!!!! Again nothing ever came of this. I am starting to think it is something they will do periodically either to check up on foreigners in the area or to warn others off employing workers on the black, or both.
