	France bans citizens from recording violence, Web sites from reproducing videos [Politech]
		The law on the prevention of criminality (http://www.assemblee-nationale.fr/12/ta/ta0680.asp), which was adopted on 13 February, was referred to the constitutional council by the socialist group in parliament.
		The referral did not specifically concern the section dealing with 'happy slapping.' The law provides for sentences of up to five years in prison and fines of 75,000 euros for disseminating images concerning the offences listed in 222-1 to 222-14-1 and 222-23 to 222-31 of the criminal code.
		Reporters Without Borders thinks it would be shocking if this kind of activity, which constitutes a safeguard against abuses of authority, were to be criminalized in a democratic country.
