A demonstrator holds a board reading: who protects us from the police state, during a protest against bill on police images, in Paris
THE French government has agreed to send its draconian new law against photographing police to the constitutional council after opposition parties said it could violate France’s constitution.
The Global Security Law banning people from releasing images of police officers’ faces if “intended to cause harm” was passed on Tuesday night in the face of opposition from France’s Socialist and Communist parties as well as Jean-Luc Melenchon’s France Unbowed.
Mr Melenchon said after the law passed that “an authoritarian regime is being put in place. The Macronistes are in the process of putting France in a cage.”
