The world of policing

I guess I entered the world or police. Police are everywhere in Tunisia. Last time around I was here, the ratio of Police to people was a little more significant given the WSIS. However, they were still very present in the downtown area. Sometimes there presence was very uncomforting. All they need is a newspaper with a hole in the middle and they would be exactly like the mokhber in Egypt :).

Algeria, well if I was uncomfortable in Tunisia, was another story really. Cops and police checkpoints where everywhere. It was disturbing, but I guess the events of the 90s have made them a bit edgy. I also saw police checking cars at the hotel, which was a drill I was used too, but checking under the hood too, that was new. Who in his right mind would put things under the hood.
