French President Macron is pushing for a new law prohibiting photo-video recording of police in public. It is retaliation against political free speech and street demonstrations precipitated from the Yellow Vest protests.
Macron endorses this new law, yet to be finalized by the French Senate, saying "... images that bring shame upon us." This was just before decrying the shocking video of a police street beating of a black resident in Paris.
'Macron has made similar requests at least twice this year already.'

Such important news is literally buried or not reported at all by American news publications. Our own First Amendment rights and our right to publish public events is not endangered yet. But, beware that France is our best mirrored reflection of our own troubled democratic society.
