quoting the law, "THIS SECTION DOES NOT ESTABLISH A RIGHT OR AUTHORIZE ANY PERSON TO MAKE A VIDEO RECORDING OF LAW ENFORCEMENT ACTIVITY."
- throwawaymaths 4y agoRight this is the problem. If it said the opposite, it would be a FANTASTIC law.
- colechristensen 4y agoBut you already have the right to record which has been upheld in court. Now in AZ when faced with a court argument that you were too close to the action you can point to a law that defines too close.
- kevinsundar 4y agoYou can't really read laws in the negative. Laws only mean what they say. You can still for example "interfere" and be more than 8 feet away and pointing to this law won't help you.
- WesternWind 4y agoYou are largely right, though one can apply the canons of construction to understanding a law's text, which sometimes can sometimes lead to inferences. https://www.law.uh.edu/faculty/adjunct/dstevenson/2018Spring/CANONS%20OF%20CONSTRUCTION.pdf https://www.law.uh.edu/faculty/adjunct/dstevenson/2018Spring...
