Yesterday, Saturday, the French cities were witnesses of massive demonstrations denouncing the law of “integral security”, before the crisis of a new case of violence on the part of some policemen.
Article 24 of the aforementioned law, which focuses on attention, establishes a penalty of one year in prison and a fine of 45,000 euros, in case of publication of images or retransmission of clips of policemen and gendarmes motivated by “bad faith” .
The protesters are also protesting the legalization of the use of drones and surveillance cameras by security forces.
