France doesn't ask for or record race/ethnicity on its censuses for exactly this reason. If you don't store it, you can't be made to give it up.

- venomsnake 10y agoNowadays you can do it with drone, camera and facial recognition software. If president Le Pen needs the info she could get in 2 days.
- madamelic 10y agoThat would take the complicity of hundreds, if not thousands, of people. I doubt it would exactly be a secret or entirely quick, implementing racial recognition on a national scale. Releasing information, especially today, takes only a few (Let's ignore bureaucracy and assume it takes only a few sign-offs to give away massive data dump legally)
- rmc 10y agoHave you seen how the French protest? Especially the unions (which tend to be left wing). They were almost burning cars to stop Uber http://time.com/3935645/paris-taxi-drivers-protest-uber/ http://time.com/3935645/paris-taxi-drivers-protest-uber/ How long do you think such a drone programme would physically last? Antifa activists will literally start smashing things.
