PARIS (Reuters) – France will launch an online platform next year for people to flag any unnecessary checks by police, President Emmanuel Macron said on Friday.

“On police checks, we will set up a national platform with a dedicated dial-in number,” Macron told news website Brut in an interview.

Macron also said that bodycams for police officers would be widely used from June next year.
