These laws have nothing to do with safety. They are only about making it illegal to film police abuses. Here's the law in AZ https://www.azleg.gov/legtext/55leg

These laws have nothing to do with safety. They are only about making it illegal to film police abuses. Here's the law in AZ https://www.azleg.gov/legtext/55leg/2R/bills/HB2319S.pdf https://www.azleg.gov/legtext/55leg/2R/bills/HB2319S.pdf Note the words "IF THE PERSON IS NOT INTERFERING WITH LAWFUL POLICE ACTIONS" We've seen example after example of police screaming "stop resisting" while they beat someone who is handcuffed and/or unconscious. By "resisting", those people were "interfering with lawful police actions". They might not have been guilty of anything before the police started beating them, but under this law if they were recording any of it they'd be criminals.
