How can you be more misinformed

On: France May Require Biometric ID Cards

Every major french citizen (i'm one i should know) is forced to carry an ID card since the Vichy regim during the second world war.
And when a cop ask you for it, you have to show it or be arrested.

In fact like in any "latin law" country this law is not really enforced but is here for the convenience of the cops.
I don't know any french against this state of fact.
It's true it can be abused by racist cops on minorities, but which law could'nt be abused by the authorities.
Choose good authorities, or no at all but don't try to make people believe there are perfect laws.
