Big digital demonstration against private radar cars
To protest against the privatization of on-board radar checks which begins this Friday – and to deal with the inability of motorists to mobilize "physically" – the association 40 million motorists is organizing a large "virtual" demonstration. Principle: send a photo of yourself or your car to denounce the management of on-board radars by private companies…
How do you say ? Valls? Manuel Valls? But what if, remember, a former prime minister of François Hollande ?! Always not ? Who was banished in the primaries of the left by a certain Benoît Hamon out of nowhere? Ah, the "man on the left" who forced companies to? And who wants to entrust private companies with the management of on-board radars in unmarked cars? ?
Yes, the same one, who among his announcements during the, had wished to entrust the management of on-board radars to private companies !
- MNC Live February 20 :
Despite the opposition of 83% of the French at the start of 2016 according to one – against "only" according to the same source … -, the Minister of the Interior (yes, Bruno Leroux, successor to Manuel Valls Place Beauvau!) Launched January 8, a call for tenders to recruit private companies that will manage radar cars in the future.
And the operation will begin on February 24, 2017: "Friday will begin in Normandy the experiment which will allow, on September 1, that the driving of the radar cars launched in 2013 is entrusted to private providers", rejoices Security annuitant road, specifying that "this test of several months is intended to allow the approval of the new system and will not give rise to any contravention".

"The first radar car driven by a private operator is scheduled for September 2017 in Normandy", continues the government. "The outsourcing system will then be gradually extended to other regions. It will therefore be companies that will provide drivers to drive, under close state control, these unmarked vehicles".
"Roll back the government and involve the candidates for the presidency of the Republic"
This is why 40 million motorists today call on "all road users who are unfavorable to the privatization of radar cars to participate in the first major digital event in France, by sending a photo of them or of their car directly by MMS to Pierre Chasseray, general delegate of the association, at 07 89 99 63 63 or via the site ".
"The photographs of the demonstrators will be broadcast as part of this unprecedented demonstration, aimed at pushing the government back on the new project to intensify the road repression and to involve the candidates for the presidency of the Republic", continues the association in estimating that this device would allow "to enter more than 2 billion euros in the coffers of the State".
440 private cars from 2017
For Daniel Quero, president of 40 million motorists, the privatization of on-board radars has no other goal than to generate – thanks to the fines from tickets – large sums of money that will end up in the coffers of the State: "on the basis that a radar car can flash – at the very least – 30 motorists per hour, that the Minister of the Interior wants these vehicles to circulate after 8 hours a day and that 440 equipped cars will travel our roads from next year, more than 38.5 million reports will be drawn up against road users.With an average fine of € 56.85, the State will earn almost 2.2 billion euros. Certainly an excellent financial transaction … However, there is no evidence that this measure has any positive effect on road safety ".
The private companies managing this windfall would be remunerated by the State according to the time spent by their mobile radars in circulation. "In other words, the more they drive and sanction, the higher the remuneration owed by the State to companies will be", calculates the association.
Universal radar income ?!
MNC can not help suggesting that the government share this windfall with Uber drivers, or better still allow each citizen to invest in a mobile radar to fix it on his car, his motorcycle, his bike, his scooter, his skate or even its pumps, in order to make a juicy income. The State would thus do a double blow by raking in revenue while reducing unemployment … Unless it is a diverted form of universal income ?!

"There is an urgent need to act", slices more seriously Pierre Chasseray: "the calls for tenders have already been launched and it is only a matter of days for the Minister of the Interior to implement this scandalous measure . We must therefore show our disapproval in a strong way, by an unprecedented mobilization. We must make it known that the French are firmly opposed to this project and refuse this policy of systematic repression which has for only objective to strike the citizens at This stalking is unacceptable and participation in this first digital event will be decisive. This is why I invite all users to send me a photo to take part in this event: demonstrating is as simple as an MMS! "
