Arizona’s Republican Gov. Doug Ducey has signed into law HB 2319, which bans the public from recording video within 8 feet of police activity.

Any person who knowingly makes a video within 8 feet of police activity could be charged with a class 3 misdemeanor and would likely incur a fine without jail time. Officers are required to warn anyone recording video within 8 feet before arresting them.
