During protests in Bordeaux against rising living costs, French police used a powerful sound device mounted on an armored vehicle to disperse crowds. The protests, organized by several unions, initially remained peaceful but escalated towards the end, leading to confrontations with law enforcement. The use of sonic weapons raises concerns about potential harm, including hearing damage, as highlighted by the UN and human rights organizations. Nationwide, around 146,000 people participated in protests across France, with significant police presence and numerous arrests reported.
