A fresh wave of protests broke out in France on Saturday against the proposed French security bill, which has received criticism from many in the country.

Critics believe the new security bill will restrict filming of police officers and posting their images and videos, showing police brutality, on social media.

Hundreds of locals took to streets in several French cities claiming the new security bill to be unfair and a free pass for police brutality.

Activists from the famous movement group 'yellow vest' were also seen protesting on the streets. People also called on saving the cultural sector in the country.

"I have two reasons for coming today -- the comprehensive security law and also to support culture," Kim, a 24-year-old civil service intern told local reporters. "Lots of stores are open, the metro is packed, yet cultural sites are closed, even though we can apply protective measures."

Protestors were also raising their voice against usage of surveillance tools such as pedestrian cameras and drones. Locals started protesting against the proposed security bill after police officers were recorded beating up a Black man on the streets.

Young people of the country also used this opportunity to ask for freedom to hold rave parties in the country. This has come up after the French Police had shut down a rave party in Brittany which was being attended by nearly 2,400 people at the start of this year.

Fresh protests break out in France over new security bill

French interior minister Bernard Cazeneuve on Saturday called on young citizens to become reservists and help boost security forces in the wake of the country&#39;s latest terror attack. 
 
France&#39;s &quot;operational reservists&quot; include French citizens with or without military experience as well as former soldiers. 
 
&quot;I want to call on all French patriots who wish to do so, to join this operational reserve,&quot; said Cazeneuve.&nbsp;His call comes after the government has been criticised for not doing more to stop attacks.&nbsp; 
 
The Islamic State group has said it was behind Thursday&#39;s truck massacre in Nice which left 84 people dead and many more injured.&nbsp;It was the third major Islamist attack which France has suffered in the past 18 months. 
 
French President Francois Hollande said on Friday that the new reservists would be called upon to boost the ranks of police and gendarmes.&nbsp;Details of how to become a reservist were swiftly posted on the national gendarmerie&#39;s website. 
 
Volunteers must be between 17 and 30 years of age, have the right physical and moral aptitude and undergo military training.&nbsp;They will only be required during the summer period, while the regular reservists are on holiday, said Cazeneuve. 
 
The operational reserve is currently made up of 12,000 volunteers, 9,000 of whom are within the paramilitary police and 3,000 in the regular police force, said Cazeneuve. 
 
&quot;We are going to reinforce the presence of security forces across the country,&quot; he added. 
 
He said the number of security forces deployed to protect the population was nearly 100,000, including 53,000 police, 36,000 para-military police and 10,000 soldiers.
