French government presents "global security" bill banning the filming of French police
- Thread starter Cicada 5
- Start date
SASR 2ND battalion has been disbanded and the report from the inspector general of the defence forces - which even if only half true - is damming as fuck and 25 troopers have been referred to the Australian Federal Police for investigation against 39 individual offences. I mean it could all still end in a fuckin’ whitewash but no one has (yet) gotten off Scott Free.
Edit: misunderstood 2nd Battalion as two battalions.
Edit 2: updated number of affected soldiers and charges to be answered

You know what, I went and checked and you’re right. I saw 2ND Battalion as 2 battalions.
I think they did the soldiers who did the right thing dirty. I don’t like punishing a whole bunch of people who weren’t involved
They aren’t going to toss innocent troopers out of the service. Apart from being a gross overreaction it would be an appalling waste of the money spent training them to their elite level. In all probability a new battalion comprising of those not involved (or uncharitably, not known to be involved) in this travesty will be stood up to replace it.
Plus, they probably don’t want to cut them lose because that then puts fifty odd men with skills, training, contacts and truckloads of spite onto the open market for any number of rich and nefarious actors to take advantage of.

'Shocking' clash: French police use tear gas to dismantle migrant camp in central Paris
French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said he was launching a probe into clashes that broke out after police dispersed the camp, describing images of the dismantling as "shocking".

Oh hey, the French have burnt the bank over this. NOW we're getting somewhere.
The central bank of France is an independent institution empowered by the government of France and the Eurozone to function as the primary bank of the government, and is one of the banks who can issue Euros.
You should stop following blatant liars. Sharing the image of a wounded journalist wouldn't be illegal.
Also, what about the Irony of all these peaceful protestors, who were alledgedly protesting against violence, wounding 62 police officers?
It's borderline, but it could be called a picture of a public event involving police officers that could harm their psychological well-being.
That few?
Not even close to borderline as the original Article 24 only renders publishing images punishable if police officers are clearly identifiable on them AND the goal is to cause harm to the identifiable police officer. I don't see any face or ID (other than their police ID number considering that would be legal) of police officers on that image. The only person who could and already can sue anyone is the wounded journalist himself due to privacy laws.
In any case, filming the actions that wounded the man would be illegal. And that is preposterous.
