Arizona AG refuses to defend law restricting video recording of police
Arizona legislation to restrict the ability of individuals to video record police is all but officially dead.In a settlement this week, Attorney General Kris Mayes has agreed a law that would have restricted police video recording was unconstitutional.Mayes filed paperwork this week in federal court agreeing with the challengers. Republican legislative leaders who were involved in getting the statute passed last year have refused to defend it.
