The French anti-terrorist system has strengthened over the years, particularly following weighting of each major attack. On 25 July 1995, that of paris subway killed 10 people. A bomb devastated the Saint-Michel station. A year later, while France has a device in the 80s, approves the Anti-Terrorism Act of 22 July 1996. The latter creates the specific offense of "criminal association in relation with a terrorist enterprise" and expands the grounds deprivation of nationality of established since 1973.
Ten years later, when the London transit system is hit in turn, France has strengthened its anti-terrorist arsenal for 4 years and the September 11 attacks. But the suicide attacks which killed 52 people in the British capital on 7 July 2005, lead to a further strengthening of the device. On 23 January 2006, the law on the fight against terrorism is then passed in France under the leadership of Nicolas Sarkozy at the time French Minister of the Interior.
This law particularly widespread video surveillance in public places and strengthens the monitoring of communications.
It also allows police to fire on a vehicle that would force a police checkpoint, extends to six days in police custody and increases the penalties.
New crackdown in 2008 with the authorization for law enforcement to carry out identity checks on international railway lines beyond 20 kilometers from the border.
On 4 November 2014, the Senate finally adopted the draft law against terrorism that particular introduces a ban on leaving the territory of the suspects in order to hinder the departure of French candidates for jihad in Syria, materialized by a confiscation of ID card and passport for a period of 6 months, renewable up to two years.
The Act also allows to issue an administrative prohibition of entry into the territory against a national of an EU member country considered suspect, or any member of his family.
It also creates the notion of "terrorist individual enterprise" with, in the background, the fear of "lone wolf" as Mehdi Nemmouche, the alleged killer of the Jewish Museum in Brussels in May.
Often it is the internet that these "lone wolves" are radicalized. The law of 2014 thus provides that sites inciting to commit terrorist acts or advocating can be blocked without a court decision.
