Les Dégonflés
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Les Dégonflés is a French passive vigilante group that deflates tyres on SUVs parked on the streets of Paris in order to protest against the associated high emissions and damage caused to the environment. Their actions are presumed to be legal under French law, as deflated tyres are not really damaged. However, affected SUV owners can still bring them to court under civil law. [1]
