But it will have a chilling effect while the court system works its way to the case, and even after it (hopefully) gets overturned.

And of course, they'll just put out a new law some time after the first one is overturned. Maybe they'll spend time rewording it a bit, but I suspect they'll eventually stop bothering with such tedious ceremony.

In effect, their desired law will be the law for the vast supermajority of time regardless of constitutionality.

I doubt it. You'll never stop people from making cell phone videos.

The chilling effect is reminding the victims of the police that they have no friends in the establishment, surely?

[dymk]

The law not surviving the court system would be contrary to that.

hey quick question when a law goes away what do you think happens to all the people in prison for violating that law

[2OEH8eoCRo0]

> Kavanagh’s bill makes a violation a petty offense, the lowest-level Arizona crime that can bring a fine but no jail time. Refusing to stop recording when an officer orders it would be a low-level misdemeanor subject to a 30-day jail sentence.

So you would have already served your 30 days and lost your job, and you would be awarded an apology.

By then it has done its job.
