Thousands of cops were deployed in Paris on Friday to try to prevent convoys from forming like the ones in Canada — as protests against COVID-19 restrictions spread across the globe.Authorities in and around France’s capital stationed more than 7,000 officers at tollbooths and other key transportation sites in an attempt to stave off the scattered convoys of vans, cars and trucks that were en route to the city, despite a ban issued a day earlier.Citing “risks of trouble to public order,” Paris police have banned the protests from Friday through Monday. Violators who block traffic can face up to two years in prison, more than $5,000 in fines and a suspended license, officials said.
