the essential Wednesday evening, the device was used for the first time to punish traffic offenses in the city center of Toulouse.

The extension of video verbalization to traffic offenses was tested for the first time on Wednesday evening in the streets of downtown Toulouse during a law enforcement service organized by the national police to fight against excesses after the match of the Arab Cup, Algeria-Qatar. A suspenseful match that ended with the victory of Algeria 2 to 1. Video verbalization has existed since 2016 in the city center of Toulouse to repress annoying and very annoying parking, that is to say the cars parked on a sidewalk, in double line or in bus lanes... During the city council in October, elected officials voted to extend it to traffic offenses, such as rodeos, no-go directions and red lights not obeyed, which the municipality explains let them multiply. And this in a perimeter extended to the whole of the municipality where the network of cameras is located. On Wednesday evening, the municipal police officers of the PC were not idle. On their cameras in particular appeared a procession of jubilant supporters. And in a few hours, all offenders combined, no less than 82 reports were drawn up via the cameras which recorded the license plates. Crossing a white line, burnt out red lights, overtaking on the right, telephone while driving… have been sanctioned. The party of the supporters will have a bitter taste with the reception of the fines. The operations of video surveillance are called to renew, had recently exposed Emilion Esnault, assistant to the mayor in charge of security. The elected official explained that the device will not be activated permanently but during targeted operations, such as during foot patrols.

Tackling fundamental societal issues, why do it?Technology now allows an escalation of repressive patches.

Do not push: social issues as a patch for behaviors that are pure incivility!

MacGuffin1 month agoOn 12/17/2021 at 01:00

Pure incivility individually reprehensible, but collectively the symptom of a sick society. Injustice calls for violence, it is unfortunately as old as the world.

@MacGuffinQuelle injustice?-running red lights-taking forbidden directions-riding a scooter on sidewalks-Parking anywhere-Bringing the mess up to date and night-use reserved lanes shamelessly-etc...etc...

@Jean_Mouclade no, I was rather thinking of:10% of the richest French people alone own more than ten times more than the poorest 10%.Segregation / ghettoization of cities and neighborhoods patiently erected for 50 years. Freewheeling liberal steamroller without any social safeguards as the main political ideology. Everything you talk about is certainly individual responsibility, but sociologically they are symptoms. You can think what you want about the sociological reading grid, but if you REALLY want things to change, you will have to take it into account one day or another. Just take a look across the Atlantic to our Americans to see the wonders of the all-repressive.

You now have the same speech as zemmour. This is a sign that you are capable of evolving..

MacGuffin1 month ago17/12/2021 at 13:26

That's it, the evolution is from Lucy to Zemmour. Thank you for this moment of relaxation.

Alexlegrand: evolve but in what direction?
