Article that summarizes it: https://www.rfi.fr/en/france/20230706-france-set-to-allow-police-to-spy-on-suspects-through-remote-phone-access

Excerpt of the article:

Covering laptops, cars and other connected objects as well as phones, the measure would allow geolocation of suspects in crimes punishable by at least five years behind bars.

. . .

During a parliamentary debate late on Wednesday, MPs in President Emmanuel Macron's camp inserted an amendment limiting the use of remote spying to "when justified by the nature and seriousness of the crime" and "for a strictly proportional duration". Any use of the provision must be approved by a judge, while the total duration of the surveillance cannot exceed six months. Sensitive professions including doctors, journalists, lawyers, judges and MPs would not be legitimate targets.

Law text that will be passed: https://www.senat.fr/leg/pjl22-569.html

The law text is in french, I'm reading it at the moment (my french is not very good so this will take a while), if someone has an english version or can translate the important parts, that would be great!

Louis Rossman's take on it: https://invidious.nerdvpn.de/watch?v=lGB47HC6Na8

Edits:

  • Changed title from "want to pass" to "passed" because as far as I understand it, this law will be put into action.
  • Added link to Lousi Rossman's video.
  • Added a [FR] to the title to give France tag
