A cop is within 8 feet of you during a traffic stop. So if the cop puts you or another passenger under arrest, you have to stop filming. And if you were filming before and caught the cop doing something illegal, they are now incentivized to arrest you to make you stop.

A bystander interfering with police has nothing to do with recording and is already illegal. This is clearly just an attempt to make it more difficult to hold cops accountable.

There's an exception allowing you to record if you're in a car involved with something:

> The same exception extends to anyone recording while in a vehicle involved in a police stop.

>And if you were filming before and caught the cop doing something illegal, they are now incentivized to arrest you to make you stop.

Wouldn't they be incentivized the exact same amount before this law? I don't see how this law makes that worse.

>A bystander interfering with police has nothing to do with recording and is already illegal.

Many specific instances are debatable whether it's interference or not. What if the cameraperson is 1 foot from the cop? 2 feet? 5 feet? 10 feet? This law makes it clear what the distance is so people don't have to debate in the moment or in the courtroom.
