The Super-Complex Security of the Paris Olympics 

Yep, that's how tax works

That is literally how tax deductions work

@@JessicaRainbow I think you missed his point

It's been a minute, but unless Biden has unscrewed it up, business expenses were made no longer deductible under Trump's tax act in 2017.

Because the trip is no longer a leisure trip, but a commercial activity?

On what kind of shirt are they supposed to put a 2 by 4m print?! Use your brain, man!

Fairfax County, VA Police are also in France, also with their firearms.

​@canoeguy Yeah, but wasn't that footage also showing the French police with assault rifles? Aren't they all carrying? Like it's funny that that was there stipulation but they all seem to be packing

I heard they’re really chill

@@duas9468 we should like join them or something

I don't think you need to worry about decreasing interest in the Olympics. People who want to target it have already noticed it.

@@mnm1273 never said anything about trying to decrease interest.

@@justicesportsman6020 as someone understanding human psychology telling people how secure things are is very correlated to them wanting to go there

Correct.

By announcing the capabilities, you’re not only telling people what it can do, but the hostiles will be able to flip the statement to work out what it can’t do or doesn’t know.

Yeah, I remember going to a protest that went through Paris a few years ago, one that wasn't likely to turn violent (and didn't) and was really surprised to see soldiers with assault rifles walking around. The riot police on the other side was there as expected

@@baudspFrance is a country that fights for what they morally believe in, turns out, government doesn’t like morals,

Crazy what happens when ☪️ comes to your country.

Deploying large amounts of police to every protest? Yeah that’s definitely a full-time job in France.

I visited both London and Paris in the aftermath of terrorist attacks (Charlie Hebdo + Eagles of Death Metal, 2017 London Bridge attack). I saw the military with rifles everywhere in Paris, but there was nothing of note in London. My conclusion was that London was probably using at least as many security personnel as Paris but that they were probably in civilian clothes. As horrific as the French open display of army rifles in touristic areas was, I appreciated its transparency in comparison. I assume French people prefer to know when they have cops and soldiers around.

Well, after all they're just normal people doing their job. And if their job requires them to carry around an automatic unaliver of humongous size, then they gotta do it. I've found that when chatting to police officers you need to give them a few moments to get out of their "police-y" conduct. They're trained to judge the danger level of any situation constantly, so they need time to adjust to a non-threatening situation in order to talk and behave like a normal human being (a.k.a. like themselves at non-office hours).

let me guess you are not arabian or black (not to be an asshole but it's a reality in France: maghreb = ID check)

Maybe she was just glad to see you

I visited Paris in 2019 a week before the Notre Dame fire. Stayed in the 1st Arrondissement, within spitting distance of Tuliers. I go out on the street on Saturday morning and the Rue de Rivoli, which was normally loud and busy with traffic, was silent. Get to the corner near Place de La Concorde, and there's a bunch of heavily armed police there with armored vehicles. We ask them what's going on, and there was a Yellow Vest protest going on. This was maybe a year after they started? Every Saturday morning the protesters would be out on the Champs-Élysées, and they would shut it down to traffic and have the police out in force as well to quell any violence. They didn't mind talking to us as we were obviously tourists. The one annoying thing was they also closed a number of the Metro stations on line 1 (the trains still ran, they just didn't stop at 5 or 6 stations)

oh, all those homeless degenerates needed to leave Paris. Suppose they were given temporary housing in all these cops homes. Only seems fair.

@@LoveDager That's coming up later this month actually isn't it? Do you reckon they've already written it?

P.S. HAI Writers - if you're reading this the building you inadvertently used is quite interesting. It was the "French pentagon" until a few years ago (moved to a place called Balard now - might be an interesting place to talk about) and is now being sold to Qataris.

Wow Sam got something wrong about planes. What are the odds?

@@ZetaPyro lmao

That's actually a combination airspace of Lake Placid military operation area (MOA), Marian MOA, and Avon MOA with Restricted Area 2901 going up the middle on the East side of Sebring. MOAs aren't restricted to civil flights and restricted areas are only restricted when the military activates the airspace reservation

Yeah. Why can't she just put that hinge back on the camera?

and Australia too, armed with firearms :)

well yeah of course most of them are from Quebec. literally every other province (except NB) has but a handful of people that can speak French, and often it's just because they purposefully learn it, or had to for their government job

they should stay

Quebec doesn't count as foreign, it's just France 2: Hydroelectric Boogaloo.

There are 35,000 cops and bro wants a shoutout for 16 cops lol

I understand she was secretly selling bricks there.

Yes! Exceptionally well written. I did not expect the discussion about the introduction of measures of surveillance and oppression under the pretext of securing events of international significance. That kind of broader perspective is usually reserved for Wendover Productions, but, if done right (what they achieved here), it also fits quite well with the satirical tone of HAI.

"so i had to do it myself" he says, eleven seconds after that

And showing the Place de la Concorde and saying Champs Elysees.

European billion

Long billion

I mean, technically 2.5 trillion is "over 2.5 billion," so he's not wrong

Which is basically "anybody we want".

Hamas members. (They have a history with targeting the Olympics.)

Yeah I was there as well it was insane. I was able to get the pass into the gray zone for all days before as well and it was insane how few people were there. We got into a street right in front of the eiffel tower and were able to take pictures in front of it with nobody there and the police didn’t question why we were there. The security was insane

I went to the guadeloupe recently and was really surprised to see a group of armed "gendarme" casually roaming in a large mall. The french really don't fuck around

@@tjoloi Gendarmes are what the USA would call Military Police. They also serve in France as a rural police force outside cities.

"Je suis Charlie" was sensationalised, understandably. Really? France, the only bastion of Freedom in EU that I understood, has a horribly militarised approach to assembly despite openly admitting the necessity? Real news for me to explore.

​@@davidoh14there are 120 stabbings each DAY in France. Import the third world, become the third world.

Knowing the French there gonna put up a white flag as soon as someone challenges them

BMW m8 competition you mean????

The fact that you had a pass means someone knows who you are. also seeing a tourist acting like a tourist is fine. It's more when someone who is not acting like they should be acting that they want to keep a eye on said person. I have watched a section of the security apparatus around kings day in the Netherlands. From a control point and it really just crowed management in the biggest part. (really cool to see)

I mean, the first ever act of international terrorism by a government against civilians was the Palestinians targeting the Olympics. It's reasonable they would be extra careful right now.
