Interior Ministry to overhaul automated vehicle computers That feels fine To The wrong people

COMPUTER systems in the Interior Ministry are to be overhauled as a matter of urgency to stop automated fines being sent to the wrong people

reports The Connexion .

Newly appointed minister Claude Guéant said that, while the IT system would be improved and all those falsely fined would have their points restored and money refunded, the government would also seek to change the law.

He stopped short of appointing an ombudsman to oversee complaints.

Such false fines can arise through fraud, a failure of motorists to update their details or delays in updating records.

One notorious case saw a farmer in the Gard receive a fine for driving 112kmh around the Rouen ringroad (some 810km away).

The vehicle in question was a 15-tonne tractor with a top speed of 25kph that had never left the farmer's village.

Currently all fines must be paid straightaway and the appeals procedure is unclear.

The Interior Minister wants to change the law to place the burden of responsibility for the vehicle and for updating documents on the buyer, not, as is now the case, the seller.

And if the neocons were right?

Une telle suggestion — les néoconservateurs auraient eu raison — ne peut susciter en France qu'ironie et indignation

écrit Jacques Rollet dans Le Monde .

Même si les néoconservateurs U.S., as rightly said Justin Vaisse , showed arrogance and intellectual laziness at the second Iraq war (see his book: History of neoconservatism in the United States , Odile Jacob, 2008 ) the fact remains that they have made a genuine political philosophy that democracy is a property that must be propagated without ulterior motives and without reserve born of realpolitik.

can see the messianic vision of the work of scholars (for example, Sébastien Fath) and French journalists. Forget not that Bill Clinton declared in 1999: "The United States has the opportunity, and I would say the solemn responsibility to shape the twenty-first century ^e a more peaceful, more prosperous, more democratic." Americans with all their faults, are not only materialistic as the French think the cynicism and they are also idealistic as we're not enough.

[By contrast] the French political analysts of international relations specialists often characterized by high poverty levels in terms of theory, poverty due to the absence of a genuine political philosophy in France excluded from political science. The question is not academic or anecdotal. The many works of political philosophy over the last twenty years have not changed the skeptical view of the French political class on democracy.

... If democracy is the best or least bad regime, it is valid for all peoples and not only for Westerners. It is true that we must analyze the conditions of its establishment by the progress of cultures and economies, but we want this property.

After such a refusal to follow the thought single, one suspects that Jacques Rollet is down in flames by the World readers (one of whom, knowing where to find the real brains of international politics (sic) quotes a sketch ... Guignols and another showing an unfailing lucidity (re-sic), is interesting to compare the author (a political scientist at the University of Rouen) with (with anti-) hero Series Dallas (both with the initials JR )) ...
