Switzerland. Geneva. Paquis neighborhood. Four police officers search a shop selling mobile phones ( new and second hand) looking for illegal business deals. The policemen control the serial numbers of each phone because they suspect the shop's owner of concealment activities. One of the police officers wear plain clotehs, the others a blue police uniform. A police officer (R) is wearing a ballistic vest, bulletproof vest or bullet-resistant vest which is an item of personal armor that helps absorb the impact from knives, firearm-fired projectiles and shrapnel from explosions, and is worn on the torso. Soft vests are made from many layers of woven or laminated fibers and can be capable of protecting the wearer from small-caliber handgun and shotgun projectiles. 20.03.12 © 2012 Didier Ruef..
