That would be a pretty extreme escalation of civil asset forfeiture. I understand that you distrust the police. You have reason to. But resorting to hyperbole diminishes your argument.
- LocalH 4y agoIt's not hyperbole when it's based on historical abuses of power.
- Hnrobert42 4y agoAre there lots of examples of cops using asset forfeiture laws to confiscate individual phones to cover up police malfeasance?
- notch656a 4y agoArizona has somewhat decent civil forfeiture protections: civil forfeiture laws require a crime to take place for permanent forfeiture. So this law puts the wheels in motion for lawful seizure of these phones. You won't find much recent prior seizures in Arizona because Arizona cops can't fulfill a lawful seizure without a crime, and prior to now recording a public official performing their duty was basically never a criminal act.
