Your Labour overloards want to ban it. Even China allow it. But not Russia or North Korea
Buggery, Bollocks, Boris, Brexit.

Macron, the liberal champion. 
I guess not collecting the data in the first place is one way of making sure the figures look good, but there doesn't seem to be an argument that the people fined hadn't broken the law. Are there more fines in these area because they're migrants, or because there's more crime?
"French laws strictly limit the collection of data about an individual’s race or ethnicity, which makes it difficult to determine exactly how the fines impact ethnic minority groups, but the census does collect some figures on immigrants, based on place of birth and nationality. A Reuters review of census-related and some fine-related police data from across France reveals that police have fined people at higher rates in areas with the heaviest percentages of immigrants."
Oh, and isn't this a tad racist in and of itself?
"In Epinay-sous-Senart, Assam’s town, a Reuters review of data from more than two years of police reports recording incidents involving at least one fine found more than 80% of those incidents occurred in two adjacent neighborhoods where residents say many ethnic minority families live. Of the 478 police reports that recorded fines from April 2018 to July 2020, 403 were from that part of town, according to the local police data, which Reuters obtained via a freedom of information request. The vast majority of the people fined had Arab or African surnames, the data showed."

Tories say 4.7% for the NHS. I wonder how big that rise could be if the £200million given to Money Money was distributed amongst the staff. And that is just the fallout from one Tory scam. How many others have received substantial grift?
