Abstract

Based on the field work carried out during the oral trial of eight police chiefs in a case known as "the cause of the envelopes", I propose to analyze a set of institutional relations that make up a police-political and judicial network. The objective of this article is to question the notions of police "autonomy" and "self-government", to account for how the police are forming part of an interwoven fabric of institutions and to think that "the police", "justice" and “politics” cannot be seen as monolithic and separate blocks. Second, From the notions of squeezing, filling and judging, the type of relationships, complicity, collaboration, conflict and others that produce the aforementioned are analyzed. plot between institutions.
