The Minister of the Interior (France) filed a complaint, and Bedos was convicted in 2012 to a 2000 euros fine by the Paris criminal court for public insults towards the police.[8] In 2014, he was sentenced to three months in prison and a 750 euro fine for drunk driving, insulting and threatening to kill police officers after falling off his scooter.[9]
