Statewatch | France: How the “war on drugs” is turbo-charging surveillance powers
www.statewatch.orgA French law is set to unleash invasive new police surveillance powers. Fuelled by absurd rhetoric, the government is proposing what has been dubbed “the worst surveillance law in the EU”. Experts warn that it will fail to achieve its aims. However, the broad scope of the law means the powers can be used against migrants, their supporters, and to crack down on dissent. As official reports have made clear, dealing with drug use and trafficking requires long-term, low-tech policies – not high-tech

So, just another reason to legalise them instead, available fron taxed, regulated and reputable apothecaries, like just about every expert says and treat addiction as a health issue. No need to spy on my dik pics.
Yup, exactly this. Portugal decriminalized drug use and helped immensely with hard drugs usage.
But they do want to spy on your dick pics… That’s the real purpose here ! They don’t care on the war of drugs anyway.
