Today, automatic speed cameras are installed everywhere, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to avoid the flash.

Amazing radar

But if we meet booths on almost all roads, and sometimes in completely inappropriate places, then they are still rare in parking lots. However, this is what happened a few days ago. Residents of the region must have been rubbing their eyes when they discovered this unusual picture. Imagine lively conversations in the queues: “Well, I’ve never seen anything like this!” or “Of course they want to hunt for the strawberries on sale!” There was speculation. But make no mistake, this was not a road safety job. No, it was a masterstroke, orchestrated local farmers. After covering several booths throughout the Tarn region as part of demonstrations, they came up with the brilliant idea of ​​stealing a radar and placing it in front of a supermarket. For what ? To send a strong message, of course! The goal? Keep an eye on the shopping carts, symbolically of course, but above all keep track of the prices.

That radar, an inappropriate symbol of price monitoring, was there to remind everyone that farmers were watching the grain. They don’t just work the land, they also scrutinize labels and advertising. And now FDSEA (Federation of Trade Unions of Agricultural Operators) explains that this traveling radar will cross the Tarn for three weeks. The Young Farmers Union and FDSEA emphasize in a press release that they have renamed this radar and explain their approach: “My name is Egalim 4. Given that my three predecessors were not effective, the farmers tasked me to ensure they are fairly rewarded. Manufacturers, supermarkets, restaurants, consider me a last warning to finally respect those who produce our food! » A very unusual action, which, no doubt, should in a surprising way draw attention to the demands of farmers who are inclined to dialogue with deaf authorities.

Now it remains to be seen how the police will react to this unconventional game of hide and seek!
