IANAL nor French, but reading the article, is this just saying that French police can get a warrant, issued by a judge, that allows them to tap a suspect's device (not longer than 6 months)? I just want to make sure I got the facts right.
As far as I understand that, since there is no explicit clause prohibiting an extension after 6 months. I think it is safe to assume that it can be extended by another 6 months provided the suspicion persists (i.e. a judge can be convinced).
I'm not french myself, so take it with a grain of salt.
