France’s new terrorist database goes live in effort to prevent future attacks

‘France has launched a new national database to keep track of convicted terrorists after passing a law last year. The system, available to police and state officials, will be storing the names of the offenders and their crimes for 20 years.
The database will be under the supervision of a judge and the Justice Ministry, local media reported. That means that all the entries will have to be approved first. In case of dismissals and acquittals the names of the individuals will be erased.
The database will be accessible to police, intelligence and state officials.’
