Something I'm thinking is unrelated to preventing riots, is forbidding people to take pictures of or record the police. Why will that be forbidden? ("Photographing or recording police – 600 to 30.000€ fine") I'm thinking that when one isn't allowed to take pictures of or record the police, then badly behaving policemen can beat up anyone and everyone, and do anything they want, with impunity, since it will be hard to show that the police did anything wrong or who did it.
