I was told a tale by a guy who used to work in France, for Control Data, the computer company. He was stopped by the police, when the said who he worked for the policeman stood to attention, saluted, and waved him on.
And the next day.
On the third day a different policeman frowned and asked for papers.
"Non. Control DARTA."
Apparently "Contrôle d'État" is some sort of government organisation...
