A Google search for “France phone camera” only gives this posted link and dailymail.co.uk article, both of which are not really trustworthy sources, IMO.

So I’m gonna go with “this is very possibly fake news”.

Wouldn’t this breach multiple EU privacy laws?

I don’t think it does, as the GDPR does not protect ‘criminals’ or against the police using your data.
