Yes but France is having bigger problems
hence, the Article24 update, soon.

[In short, the bill would ban the publication of any photo
or footage identifying the police in
any way that is considered malicious. ]

...it’s a bit confusing, so police are allowed to be filmed and even posted online etc...but not in any way which would be deemed inciting violence against them...?...there is a vid from a few months ago online of French police ‘beating’ someone inside their home or their workplace, I’m not sure which...the attack on the guy was quite prolonged and pretty damning and apparently because he’d gone out without a mask on..?..I don’t know what the truth of the story is or whether this new Bill and being pushed through has any bearing on that...or indeed whether that was more of an isolated incident or something that is more of a growing concern ...

Yes that story on the BBC link
is true, sadly
but this New Bill is nothing to do with that.



It is not Confusing
the new Law will tell you never to Film Police.

France is nothing like us.

...that’s not clear, though...it does have some confusion because it’s being stated that people can film and even post images...but not in a way that to incite negativity/hostility toward the police...

Yes they had many cases of
negativity/hostility.



The Bill is to go through their Parliament
so until then, we do not know how it will go.

It will all be clear
after they vote on it.
