IS IT LEGAL TO FILM LAW ENFORCEMENT ACTIVITIES IN ARIZONA?

Attorney Steve® discusses free speech and recording law enforcement activities in Arizona and what I call the "8-foot rule."

In the state of Arizona, it is legal to record law enforcement officers as long as you keep your distance. According to Arizona law, you must be at least eight feet away from the officer in order to avoid breaking the law. Video recording can be a valuable tool for documenting police misconduct and helping to keep officers accountable. However, it is important to keep your distance in order to avoid getting arrested or becoming involved in an altercation with the police. When recording law enforcement, always be respectful and observe all laws in order to keep yourself and others safe.
