Gov. Doug Ducey signs bill that restricts recording of law enforcement​

Under the police recording bill that was signed into law, recording law enforcement within 8 feet is illegal, with some exceptions.

PHOENIX - On July 6, Arizona Governor Doug Ducey signed into law a bill that makes it illegal to record law enforcement within 8 feet (about 2.4 meters).
Under the new law, it is a misdemeanor if someone keeps recording, after getting a verbal warning to stop. There are, however, some exceptions to the law, including if the person recording is the one being questioned by police.

While supporters say the law is meant to protect law enforcement from harm or distraction, critics say the law is unconstitutional, and does nothing to enhance transparency.

Gotta link?
I think it was technically a qualified immunity case (:pacspit:) but recording the police was the cause. Some dude was thretened by police in 2014 for daring to record cops beating a man.
