Thousands of people took to the streets across France at the weekend to protest against the new measure, over fears that police violence would be harder to expose.
The French government has decided to "totally rewrite" part of a new controversial security law that has sparked nationwide protests, amid a raging debate over police violence and accountability.
The move, interpreted as a climbdown, was announced on Monday by parliamentary leaders from the ruling majority dominated by President Emmanuel Macron's LREM (La République en Marche) movement.
The measure known as "Article 24", part of a “global security” law, would make it an offence to film and identify police officers online if there is intent to harm -- sparking fears that it might enable police to act with impunity.
The government will propose "a complete new rewrite" of the contested article, said the LREM's parliamentary leader Christophe Castaner at a news conference on Monday.
"We know that doubts still persist" and "we must put out these doubts" because "when such a misunderstanding does not cease to intensify on such a fundamental subject, we have the duty to call ourselves into question collectively," said Castaner, a former interior minister.

If you’re being forced to rewrite a law it was not due to a “misunderstanding” but rather its being badly written in the first place assuming making the videoing of police illegal was not the intention which is doubtful. Even the European Union warned France about the proposed Article 24.
Journalists and rights groups argue that a draft security bill would curtail press freedom and lead to less police accountability. The EU warned that it will examine the final law to ensure it complies with the bloc's law.
Brussels reminded France on Monday that journalists must be able to "work freely and in full security", warning that it will examine the country's controversial security bill to ensure it complies with EU law.
French lawmakers in the Assemblée Nationale's lower chamber gave the global security bill the green light on Tuesday.
The bill is expected to go before the country's senate in January, and must also receive a referral from the Constitutional Council before it comes into effect.
The proposed legislation would make it illegal to share images of law enforcement officers for "malicious purposes" with anyone falling foul of it facing up to one year in prison and a €45,000 fine.
The bill, introduced by President Emmanuel Macron's centrist majority, has been sharply criticised by journalists and rights groups who argue that it would curtail press freedom and lead to less police accountability.
Thousands of people also took to the streets across the country over the weekend to denounce it, despite a lockdown imposed to curb the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.
