French here, this new law indeed allows police departments to spy on people and I'm totally against it. But to do so, they will need a judge to accept. It's a kind of warrant. I'm still against because entering devices will emply using vulnerabilities. What are they going to do? Ask constructors to create vulnerabilities? This law is wierd.
