I just don't see this sort of thing going down here, although I could be wrong, but what I do visualize is a tricked-out Hummer with spikes on the tires loaded down with cops and artillery. They'd be volunteering for the job. Heck, I'd volunteer for the job!

Can I ask you a serious question? Do you understand and support the Ninth and Tenth Amendments to the Bill of Rights?

Known to the police as les go-fasts,

ACK! Alert the Ministry of Language! Another English word has crept in the French language!

Thinking more along the lines of a .50 caliber MG or AT rifle in 20mm.
No le engine, no le go fast.

to the lawless housing estates of Paris, Lyons and other big cities.

Populated almost entirely by Muslims from Africa.

How can a police officer stand up to a car roaring at him at more than 200km/h (125mph) in the middle of the night?? Perhaps we should send them a few helicopters.

This whole story can be reduced to a slightly edited version of the opening sentence :

"The French .... are powerless".+

With a footnote of :

+ And smell bad too......

FRENCH police are admitting defeat in the battle against drug gangs who storm through the country in convoys of high-powered cars, smashing through roadblocks to deliver their high-priced contraband.

Le Rapide et le Furieux!!

Nous nous rendons à bling bling!!

To put it in short terms, these are the equivalent of American "projects," only in many cases much worse. Rather than trying to go in and actively control the situation, the French police are completely scared away. Laws practiced in these housing estates are a close approximation to the same laws the residents practiced while in their native Algeria and Morocco.

Can I ask you a serious question? Do you use drugs?

I use no drugs, including the deadly addictive drugs alcohol and tobacco.

Do you have evidence to the contrary?
