Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the recusal request against the police court president was admissible and well-founded
Decisione estratta
The recusal request was rejected; the summons of a gendarme to the hearing did not objectively show bias.
Motivazione estratta
The record showed the appellant had reacted virulently to the penalty order and had behaved obstructively before the police. In that context, the presence of a gendarme could be justified to ensure orderly proceedings and was not an intimidation measure.
