July 8, 20223 yr Just now, Toastrel said: Arizona to ban people from filming police within 8ft https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/arizona-to-ban-people-from-filming-police-within-8ft/ar-AAZmt2o The police are not the problem, making recordings of them is the problem. Smooth. i get it, having people hovering around too close will be an issue. so just record at 8.1ft ?
July 8, 20223 yr I read into that when it was posted on /r/libertarian. It's not quite as bad as it seems. If you're the subject of the police questioning or in a vehicle pulled over by police it doesn't apply, nor does it apply if you're on private property. It's mainly for bystanders to keep them out of the way of an investigation. I tend to think it's pretty unnecessary. More of a virtue signaling law, and one that gives crappy cops an excuse to arrest someone who is recording crappy behavior. But it isn't quite as bad as the headline suggests.

We already have laws to deal with interfering with officers in their duty. As more and more horrific videos of cops being thugs are released, we have laws like this in response, to protect the police from scrutiny. I'm against that.

July 11, 20223 yr Author ERCOT issues call for voluntary conservation Monday The Electric Reliability Council of Texas issued a call for voluntary conservation as low power reserves are projected. https://www.dallasnews.com/news/politics/2022/07/10/ercot-issues-alert-for-possible-rolling-blackouts-monday/ Such a shame that Texas lacks the power to run the state.

Since things can vary, it makes sense to set a minimum distance as a safety measure. Recording the police from 8 ft. away will capture what happened. 8 ft. is pretty close.

I would wager it is due to the plethora of bad police officers being caught on video. That is what they are trying to solve - officers being recorded, not public safety.

July 22, 20223 yr Throw PA into the mix. Obviously, only central, western and NEPA. Quote ARRESTED - Maury Stevens, 42, of Malone huffed copious amounts of glitter glue at the Clinton County Fair, knocked out a Carny and tried taking his place at the beloved "$5 Kiss a Carny Booth." Patrons looking for a friendly smooch became suspicious of Steven's shiny face and never-ending gaze. Stevens quickly became aggressive and began shouting at fairgoers. Steven's urinated on a woman's leg before being tackled by security. Stevens was charged with multiple violations by the New York State Police.
