RAMROD 117,103 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 French lawmakers in the Assemblée Nationale's lower chamber gave the global security bill the green light on Tuesday. The bill is expected to go before the country's senate in January, and must also receive a referral from the Constitutional Council before it comes into effect. The proposed legislation would make it illegal to share images of law enforcement officers for "malicious purposes" with anyone falling foul of it facing up to one year in prison and a €45,000 fine. The bill, introduced by President Emmanuel Macron's centrist majority, has been sharply criticised by journalists and rights groups who argue that it would curtail press freedom and lead to less police accountability. The law initially demanded that any images of police released by the press or on social media be blurred so that officers are not identifiable to "protect those who protect us". Statements from ministers calling for journalists to be accredited by police in order to cover demonstrations led to further alarm.

Emvee 8,832 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Gee I wonder why cops are getting blasted on mass and social media... maybe because they’re corrupt and not being held accountable by their superiors/colleagues??? Why the **** should anyone be obligated to “protect” them? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not The Real Gaga 7,582 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 This is so wrong. But I get where they're coming from... "We fully understand and share the concerns of public authorities regarding the effectiveness of the fight against terrorism and the protection of law enforcement agencies. But these do not in any way require altering the conditions of exercise of the professions of editor and journalists, nor the texts which govern them. "We mustn't confuse hate campaigns launched by some on social media and the journalistic work carried out by professionals. It should be reminded that publishers are responsible for what they publish, both morally and legally," they added. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snorlax 6,370 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Any cop should be required to have at least a Bachelors degree. Enough of these lowlife high school bullies that didn't do sh*t with their lives becoming cops to assert a position of power because they are so insecure with their own pathetic lives Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
