process failure and gaps
"Wait, isn't anybody going to check some form of corroborating identification? She's seen my code, my name, my birthdate, and my inside leg measurement. Won't she check any of these data for authenticity? I hold out my driving licence but no one wants to see it. A scannable QR code is all they wanted. I could have shown them anybody's vaccination QR code and they would have accepted it."
That's because, in France, average Joe (librarian, sex shop owner, me, your neighbour) doesn't have any authority to ask for your ID card or passport, aka, the only way to prove who you really are. If they do, you're totally entitled to return a middle finger !
Yes, it's a huge and highly exploited loophole, but see, the Macron Ivory Tower doesn't really bother with details, and peons just tick the mark by asking you the QR code only, to satisfy the idiot and still stay in the legality. Of course they know it may very well be someone else's but they tick the mark in order to not be in trouble.
I'll probably be doing the same on the local festival, some weeks away.
Remember the MPs downgraded the fine for any shop required to ask passe sanitaire before letting you in, from a whopping 45 kE, I seem to remember, down to 1500 E, for failing to do so !
Clearly, Soviet Macron creates a Soviet situation where people are just ticking the mark, outside of any sense, in order to not risk thousands in fine.
Anon and posted from a VPN, cos ... Yvan the Soviet is watching me :)
