  • A new Arizona law will soon make it illegal for bystanders to record police activity within eight feet.
  • Activist groups are slamming this law as a violation of First Amendment rights.
  • It "will undoubtedly make it even more difficult to hold police officers accountable for misconduct," an ACLU of Arizona attorney told Insider.

I can see both sides to this. I can understand the police not wanting people to be at or within eight feet during an arrest or any other altercation for their safety. As for activist I understand their point and can see police standing by blocking what could be recorded. At the end I can see a game that will be played. A DA will throw out evidence against an officer and judgementally claim a person was recording within eight feet.

I think y’all need to pull out a measuring stick and understand how short 8 ft is. Very few if any bystander recorded incidents were within 8 ft. Bc no one is dumb enough to get that close.

George Floyd bystander vid wasn’t within 8ft, Eric garner video was front and center yet there’s a cop between the bystander and Garner, it wasn’t within 8ft. Walter Scott shot in the back wasn’t 8ft. Etc etc etc

Edit: it’s 8ft from the officer not the incident, this will have an effect, I’m wrong.
