The French government has been forced to modify a controversial "security" bill that would have curbed the right to film police officers in action after growing opposition and mass protests against it.

Tens of thousands of people in cities across France have marched against the draft law, with dozens wounded during clashes with police in Paris. The legislation sought to criminalize the publication of images of on-duty police officers with the intent of harming their “physical or psychological integrity.”
