Great job, Arizona

You just dealt a huge blow to that pesky concept of transparency and accountability for authoritative forces. You're governor just signed into law that states that witnesses to a law enforcement activity cannot make a recording if they know or reasonably should know that such an activity is occurring and if an officer has given them a verbal warning that they are not allowed to record within 8 feet.

George Floyd? Not allowable to tape under this law. Protest violence at the hands of the cops? Not from 8 feet. Violence or unconstitutional behavior toward immigrants? Nope, not 8 feet away. Taping your own treatment after being pulled over for driving while black? Put the phone down and your hands up.

I assume they'rr calling this the "mind your own business" law. Justice dies in the darkness.

And unarmed people were dying on camera. It’s open season now.
