French Assembly Adopts 3-Strikes Bill

Posted by timothy on from the what-does-the-academy-think-of-baseball-metaphors? dept.

An anonymous reader writes "After lots of turmoil, including a surprise rejection and a European amendment against it, Sarkozy's 3 strikes law has just been passed by the French Assembly [in French]: 'The first warning mails ... should be sent in the coming fall. In case of second offenders, the first disconnections should start beginning 2010.'"
