Yes, I remember that guy getting mugged by Mc Donald security in France, at the Champs Elysée, which doesn't surprise me given how dumb and ignorant these people are, since they are recruited among gangs... an absolutely shame for France.
- ilamont 3y agoI recall a French law restricting photographing people in public without permission. I saw it on a photography forum, not sure if it was accurate.
