French police have always taken dedicated philosophical and poetic deeds more seriously than law and order, which is pretty banal. They wanted to see just how far he'd take it.

This is true.

It's actually illegal in present-day France to get a paternity test done, because if it turns out your kid is not actually your kid, you might abandon him. The French do not want this because they believe the family is more important than the individual. Seriously, they even cite psychologists when it comes to this law.

So it's really more about the big picture (him violating parole) than his actual crime.
