These tyrants in uniform have to be called out and examples made of them. Why not complain to the French Immigration department (or equivalent) with the time, location and name of the officer involved? Even if you don't remember the name, they have CCTV footage.
I think the police officer was young (hence maybe the reason there was a more senior officer behind the set of 2 officers. I was ready to start arguing with her for sure as it would be unconstitutional to deny my entry. But the senior officer behind immediately corrected her after she asked and stated that no matter where the passport was issued (Amsterdam in my case), since it was a French passport there was no issue entering for any reason and since I was coming from the EU no quarantine period had to be followed. So at the end, not much to complain about. But I was ready to argue for sure. 😃
