Arizona Will Ban People From Filming Police Officers At Short Distances

The point here was not to solve a problem, but to virtue signal “I’m with cops and against antifa. And when I say antifa, you know who I’m talking about”

I think it's critical that we help cut down on the number of police deaths due to close photography. Win-win in my mind.

Why do you need to be closer than 8'?

What if the cop were to say those exact words as he keeps walking towards the person recording?

Here's a hypothetical, something I've witnessed a few times on the streets making photographs of cops. A cop is trying to make a legitimate arrest, the subject is not complying and being combative. The cop is having a difficult time.

Should I be able to stand 2 feet away from the cop and subject, making a bunch of photos?

How far away were all those video's of George Floyd? From the ones I have seen, not including bodycam footage, they are at least 8' away. Most quite a bit further.

8' is plenty.

Well then, a musket is “plenty” when it comes to weapons that civilians need. Funny how when it comes to the 2nd amendment, you want zero restrictions, but you’re fine with arbitrary restrictions on the first. Unless it’s twitter blocking Trump…

No, herdfan is not actually opposed to restrictions on guns. After all, he already has a closetful, so most restrictions would have little impact. Now, if you were to impose a $10 tax on every round, that might raise a hackle.

Pretty soon they're going to say you can't record trash ass cops at all.
