> Read the law.
I did, or at least tried to. That's why I put "enforcing the law" in quotes.
Maybe I read the wrong law? In https://www.azleg.gov/legtext/55leg/2R/laws/0376.pdf https://www.azleg.gov/legtext/55leg/2R/laws/0376.pdf, the definition of "law enforcement activity" includes this, from section E(2):
> CONDUCTING AN ARREST, ISSUING A SUMMONS OR ENFORCING THE LAW
My point is that "enforcing the law" seems like a very broad umbrella. Prior to this law being written, I think I'd be on OK ground if I was filming an arrest from 10 feet away and an unrelated police officer came up to me and told me to stop.
Now, it's less clear to me. The officer who comes up and tells me to stop clearly thinks he is enforcing the law. Am I now breaking the law if I don't stop recording?
