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:- 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.- some of the non-French speaking neighbourhoods are quite dangerous, even cops would avoid going there for their own safety.- many people don't have ID, or use fake ID, so it's easy for criminals to get away.Those lawmakers might be inspired by their American counterparts, but they definitely have some level of local support.
