Global security law

The global security law is a French legislative text promulgated on 25 May 2021. It is intended to

  • grant municipal police departments more autonomy,
  • permit police live-feed access to body cameras as worn by policemen, as well as footage from drones, and
  • protect members of the police force (and their relatives) from off-duty attacks by allowing them to bear their service weapon even off-duty, as well as by restricting naming and photography of policemen (and their relatives).
