À la frontière franco-espagnole, la police "traque" les migrants

Depuis environ un mois, les contrôles à la frontière franco-espagnole se sont intensifiés. Selon les associations, les migrants, "traqués par la police", prennent de plus en plus de risques pour atteindre la France. Les humanitaires redoutent un drame, d'autant que certains exilés tentent désormais de rejoindre l'Hexagone en traversant la rivière Bidassoa à la nage.

For about a month, controls at the Franco-Spanish border have intensified. According to associations, migrants, "tracked down by the police", are taking more and more risks to reach France. Humanitarian workers fear a tragedy, especially as some exiles are now trying to reach France by swimming across the Bidasoa River.

What I like most about this research project is that we can choose what our topic is. My topic was chosen off of something that I strongly believe in. Growing up, my family was filled with police officers, which was both good and bad. Rewind to about 10 years where we are currently in 2009, law enforcement then was completely different then the way it is now. Officers were able to go out to their shift not having to worry and have it just be another day at work. Currently, police officers have one of the most life threatening jobs. My topic hits home for the fact that a family member was falsely accused of something that he did not do, and due to social media and false advertisement he was arrested and held until the judge found him not guilty. This court date took over two years to finally be picked, so for those two years my family and I life changed. This is because of what society wants to believe when stories are given out to the public. For Example, social media has become a negative influence when an altercation occurs between a cop and a civilian. Those who re post will do it out of hatred because of a previous story that was put out to the public bashing cops. This research project will help me find out more information regarding my specific topic. Being able to look at so many different sources can help expand my knowledge on this topic. My strategy would be just to enjoy finding out information that will interest me enough to continue to put so much time into my assignment, while also choosing a topic that will keep me going.

I chose this GIF to show that police are needed at anytime no matter what the circumstance is.

Why cops won’t need a warrant to pull the data off your autonomous car

If you look into the privacy policy of companies like Tesla, you'll find an article stating that if asked, Tesla will give your data to the government. So the police could potentially get access to a nice replay of everything that happens in your car...

‘Lt. Saul Jaeger, who commands the traffic unit at the Mountain View Police Department, remembers the first time a few years ago when he was given a demo of Waymo's self-driving cars.

Jaeger was not only interested from a professional point of view, but also as a citizen. After all, he lives in Mountain View near one of the Waymo facilities. He watched in awe as the engineers showed him the autonomous vehicle's (AV) own view. This screen reduces everything to line drawings and other simplified sensory inputs.

"It's incredible," he told Ars. "It felt like The Matrix, when they flip the switch—it's seeing everything, it's seeing way more than you or I can—and it's making decisions."’

How is towing a car not the same as robbing if parked legally.
