I don't see a law enforcement carve-out. By my reading a fellow cop with a body camera getting next to another cop enforcing the law would result in their violation of this law. Wonder if you can citizen's arrest a police officer for violating this law.

Go try arresting one of them and let me know how that goes for you.

The world would be a better place if criminal cops were held accountable.

Except laws aren't interpreted and enforced with autistic rigidity.

The law should be applied equally. In fact the equal protections clause of the 14th amendment could invalidate prosecution of laws not applied uniformly.

Sure, but what matters for your personal security is not what the book says, but what the men with the weapons think the book says.

In Arizona the proportion of those with weapons is overwhelmingly the general populace and not the police.
