spilldig Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 15 hours ago, The_DADDY said: The bill will reportedly apply to suspects in crimes that are punishable by a minimum of five years in jail. Amidst ongoing protests in France, the country has just passed a new bill that will allow police to remotely access suspects’ cameras, microphones, and GPS on cell phones and other devices. The bill has been criticized by the French people as a “snoopers” charter that allows police unfettered access to the location of its citizens. Moreover, police can activate cameras and microphones to take video and audio recordings of suspects. The bill will reportedly only apply to suspects in crimes that are punishable by a minimum of five years in jail and Justice Minister Eric Dupond-Moretti claimed that the new provision would only affect a few dozen cases per year. During a debate over the bill yesterday, French politicians added an amendment that orders judge approval for any surveillance conducted under the scope of the bill and limits the duration of surveillance to six months, according to Le Monde. https://gizmodo.com/france-bill-allows-police-access-phones-camera-gps-1850609772 So, is this a good idea? A way to keep French citizens safe or could it be the start of something more sinister? Your thoughts? Your thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
