"France's Constitutional Council has passed a new law which would criminalize so called "citizen journalists" who record acts of violence. The rising numbers of cellphones which come with built in video-recorders has lead to a surge in bystanders recording crimes and events of note - then passing those recordings to the media. Under this new law, only accredited journalists would be permitted to make recordings in public places." (cellular-news)
The law was originally crafted to criminalize the trend of French kids slapping people and recording it on camera.

That is just ridiculous! What kind of backwards "anti-freedom of the press" law is this? I thought we were progressing here?

Why can't they just write it this way: Kids should not record any actions of slapping whatsoever and publish it on the internet.
Duh!
