Maybe they'll spend time rewording it a bit, but I suspect they'll eventually stop bothering with such tedious ceremony. In effect, their desired law will be the law for the vast supermajority of time regardless of constitutionality.

- worik 5y agoThe chilling effect is reminding the victims of the police that they have no friends in the establishment, surely?
- dymk 5y agoThe law not surviving the court system would be contrary to that.
- giraffe_lady 5y agohey quick question when a law goes away what do you think happens to all the people in prison for violating that law
- 2OEH8eoCRo0 5y ago> Kavanagh’s bill makes a violation a petty offense, the lowest-level Arizona crime that can bring a fine but no jail time. Refusing to stop recording when an officer orders it would be a low-level misdemeanor subject to a 30-day jail sentence.

- Larrikin 5y agoPayment for time served directly from police budgets and the legislators salary instead of generally from the taxes of the residents.

- worik 5y agoBy then it has done its job.
