Lawmakers in France Move to Vastly Expand Surveillance
Talking to friends lived or are still living in France, here are just some of the problems I heard:<p>- in Paris, it's common to get robbed, and sometimes beaten up if you are not careful, and cops can do nothing. This is from a guy who went to school in Paris, I can't imagine what's it like to be a girl.<p>- some of the non-French speaking neighbourhoods are quite dangerous, even cops would avoid going there for their own safety.<p>- many people don't have ID, or use fake ID, so it's easy for criminals to get away.<p>Those lawmakers might be inspired by their American counterparts, but they definitely have some level of local support.
