A federal judge has blocked a new law in Arizona that restricts the filming of police officers, siding with the Arizona Broadcasters Association, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), and multiple media organizations who sued and argued that the law violated the First Amendment.

U.S. District Judge John J. Tuchi granted plaintiffs a preliminary injunction to stop the law from going into effect (pdf).
