The magazine Vice has published an enlightening survey: two Australian journalists were able to go wherever they wanted through a safety vest. Zoo, concert, stadium … all is spent.

No need to badge, a safety vest at € 3 99 of Amazon seems to suffice. The magazine Vice sent two young Australians in various places and events with – almost – for one device a yellow vest and a walkie-talkie bought freely. The result is instructive: they could go wherever they wanted, even in concert Coldplay.

“I was not a big fan of Coldplay before seeing since the security barrier. […] I left the stadium feeling a lump in my stomach which I think was due to my illegal activities and this plastic vest “noted David Allegretti, one of investigative journalists.

This investigation reopens the problem of security in public events. If the experiment has not been tested in France, it is not impossible that it works well. Since the attacks, the hexagon is on the alert for security. “The conditions were aggravated” emphasizes Nadine Simoni, Press Festival the Secret Nights. In 2016, the event – which takes place in the city – took place a fortnight after the attack in Nice. Festive neighborhoods of Aulnoye-Aymeries (Hauts-de-France) were curled with stud concrete. Festival organizers have also had to pay out of pocket the size of the army and police. Even out of context attack, an event must pass a security committee (prefect, police, fire department, city hall, ambulance, police …) and verify that the event is viable security. Remains that are try to see if a safety reflective vest takes you where you want.
