France's lower house of Parliament has approved a measure would permit spying on terrorism suspects.
If passed, intelligence services could place cameras and recording devices in suspects’ homes and cars without approval from a judge.
The measure would also force communication companies to permit intelligence services to use electronic “lock boxes” to record data from all Internet users in France.
Civil liberties activists have criticized the bill.
Both Socialist majority and conservative opposition lawmakers supported the measure. The French Senate will now begin debate on the bill.
