Arizona lawmaker introduces bill to criminalize filming police at close range

‘An Arizona state senator has proposed a law that would make it illegal to shoot close-up video of police activity. The senator justified the bill by saying that being filmed puts officers in danger by distracting them while they’re engaging suspects.

State Senator John Kavanagh would prevent citizens from filming within 20 feet of any “law enforcement activity,” even on public property. It would be a petty offense to violate the law, carrying a fine, but would become a misdemeanor if a person keeps filming after being told by an officer to stop. The bill will be considered in Monday’s session.’
