Arizona Laws To KNOW Living in Arizona

If you are considering a move to Arizona or already live in Arizona you may want to know about these laws across the Grand Canyon State. I am not a professional legal-man so I would encourage all of you do your own research after tuning in. This is an update to the first one I did on unique laws across Arizona. Obviously I may have forgotten a few really important ones so do feel free to speak up if I missed one or two.
#Arizona #LiveinArizona #Phoenix
Living in Arizona is quite a unique experience because of the vastness that the state offers. From the Sonoran Desert in the south to the high country in the north all the way up towards the Four Corners east and the Grand Canyon in the west. Known as the Grand Canyon state, Arizona is diverse in many ways. The state tree is the Palo Verde, the state cactus is the Saguaro, the state bird is the Cactus wren.

Also would like to add that Az is a Constitutional Carry State meaning that you do not need any type of license to carry as long as you are not a felon

[@aerospacepatriot8177]

If a felon is still a threat to society, why was he released? What if that felon committed a non-violent crime? What if that felony was committed 30 years ago? Using the description of felon doesn't mean that felon doesn't have the same inherent right to self-protect, nor the same inherent right to protect others.

@Barry Hoffman so... What it really boils down to is so long as you're not a prohibited possessor. That means if you can legally buy the gun you can carry a concealed or open however you want. But if you are a prohibited possessor simply can't carry one at all.

Or smi (seriously mentally ill). That being said, even if u are smi, legally they are not allowed to take a gun u either had before or (like me) inherited it. They MUST prove in court that u are not of sound mind to take that shit. Trust me, I was waiting for my smi release (which id been convinced to do just to get my free medications, like for adhd and anxiety) but I volunteered without knowing. As soon as I found out I learned I have to go to court to prove I'm not smi. Which I have a court date soon for. But cops illegally took my gun. Bc I'd been robbed and as soon as I said get out or ill shoot, the guy left. But the cops didn't check for him they hounded me bc I had a gun on the table and told them what I said. They later found out I'm smi and took my gun. Illegally. So I'm fighting that bullshit rn. Lemme tell ya, arizona is great about guns, except in this one situation where they break federal law. But tpd, (tucson police) suck ass. The sheriff department is great but every time I've had encounters with tpd, even when I was raped, they treated me like the suspect. From jump. Not like I did something wrong, they just treat u like ur always lying. Its bullshit.

We're a red state, a bunch of us are cons or repubs. Its expected. But rarely if ever enforced. Though, I did get a ticket for not burning or burying my flag (per the national rules on flags) bc it was tattered. But its 60 years old, was flown over the white house then give to my purple heart and metal of honor receiving GPA. So, I can't get rid of it. I just folded it up instead of flying it. P.s. did u know if ur flag touches the ground u must, by national law, bury or burn it. Bc u desicrated it. Its real, they weren't kidding about respecting that flag. This is why we did the pledge of allegiance. That flag is meant to represent us all, blue, black, yellow, pink white it doesn't matter, we are all equal under that flag. This is why kneeling and burning it in protest is such a big deal to us. It means u don't respect our laws and u don't love the people and our rights. God, if only ppl knew the real American history, they'd get why we're so fucking great. Sure we've made mistakes, but we changed quickly and died or fought for that change. Thats something to be proud of. Just saying. Thanks for reading my Ted talk lmao

[@zhoupact8567]

Why? Based on what? What makes burning a flag for example, such a severe matter that it in any way require a law or anything of the sort? Is it just because you find it very distasteful a thing? As I see it, America has a reputation for being a freedom loving country. So why would you want MORE laws that are strictly not necessary or needed? Personally I would rather see less laws thank you. More freedom, less restrictions. Some laws are needed, but what should the purpose of the government be? In my view, the state should have as little influence in people's lives as possible. Like, why should the government get a say in whenever people take drugs or not? Even if you never want to take any drugs ever, why would you let the state have that authority over you? I do not even get why people allow the state to make any rules regarding your animals. Well some things are reasonable, like when it comes to animals that are to be sold on the market. But giving the state the authority to dictate anything regarding your own private animals. Your property. I do not see why anyone would trust them with that. Anything that could restrict a person from potentially heading off to the wilderness to live on their own away from the wider society should in my view be looked at with a highly sceptical eye. That naturally do not mean, I think people should mistreat their animals. Absolutely not. But its their animal, and I do not find some other person who's animal it is not. Or the state who also do not own the animal, to be in a position where they should get to have a say on the matter. Say if you have dogs, and for whatever reason they all die from the heat. You are already punished by the fact you lost all your dogs. The time you spent raising them wasted, the money spent buying them wasted. Not to mention, how many experiments on living animals have the country allowed anyway? So is it not just a topic that is good to push for votes? But although its a democratic process, that should not necessarily mean that the majority should get to dictate stuff about other peoples matters, and or their properties.

Born and raised in AZ, still here. I remember a law being passed years ago that protects people who break into a vehicle to rescue an animal in distress from criminal prosecution. But, you can still be sued by the car owner. The stand your ground law does not only apply to your home and car. Applies to everywhere you have a legal right to be. Mall, park, grocery store etc. No permit necessary to conceal carry over 21. Saguaro cacti are federally protected. Touching a cacti is a big, expensive no-no. As a biker, I can give you a quick run down on basic motorcycle laws. Helmet required under 18 years of age. Splitting lanes is a no-no. Riding in HOV lane during restricted hours is legal. Glasses/goggles required if motorcycle does not have a windshield. Motorcycle endorsement required to operate a motorcycle. Stupid motorist law was passed because folks would drive around barriers into flooded streets/washes and need rescued. Good video for folks moving here.

First time ever coming across your channel and thought I'd give this video a look. I have lived in AZ for over 40 years and have seen many changes (most recently not good ones IMO). However I do have some recommendations on making videos like this much more viewer friendly. You seem to do decent research into your videos but are very confusing when stating what the actual laws or bills are that you are referring to. For example, the proper reference to an Arizona Revised Statute (ARS) for a criminal law is to use say "ARS title 13DASH1234 says...." (same with traffic laws using title 28). You should also reference bills as "Senate/House Bill (SB/HB????)" and post links to all of the statutes or bills you're using in your videos in your comments sections (in order of referencing them in your video). You're telling them to research your research but not providing any assistance. This would help tremendously for out of state people who are not familiar with our codes and bills. And you were pretty much spot on with most of what you were referencing.

That is another problem I have with both people and the government in general. Nosy and caring too much about matters that really do not concern them what so ever. I guess I am a bit extreme in being anti government control and extreme when it comes to peoples freedom. I am slightly sceptical to my stance on this topic I guess, because who want to see children having a bad time? But at least for now, I am very much on the side that children are the property of their parents. Meaning I do not think the state should have much of a say regardless of how parents raise their children. Even as things are children still get badly treated, so its not as if it has fixed the problem. And its not as if the state even manages to take good care of the children they are responsible for. If the state did a near perfect job perhaps I could accept it. But it do not. And in recent years, there was been several topics that have bugged me. Leaving me at just leaving parents alone. Is letting a child have sex change surgeries bad? Should parents have to call their boy a girl if the kid comes home one day saying he has changed gender? Should the state get to have a say in such matters? I do not think so. So I do not care if one thing or another would be abuse. I just want the state to not get to have a say any more and stay out of family matters. Leave it fully up to the parents how to treat and raise their kids, even if that leads the kid to suffer. Like how the schools and such want to give kids the shots without letting parents even know. I do not even think the shots are bad, but its the parents children. I guess I kinda view the state as trying to make the citizen its slaves or something. As if the state owns us all, and they therefore should have the right to do as they please with people's children. "The offspring of my property would naturally be my property, so why can't we give then a vaccine. Why would I need to inform my slave about it?"

Just want to add to the DUI laws. Az is a zero tolerance state, meaning even if you are under .08 but the officer deems you are to impaired to drive safely you can be charged with DUI. Furthermore it you can be charged with any traceable amount in your system.

[@TwilightxKnight13]

Any lawyer worth a crap will advise you to never submit to a field sobriety test and never comply with any attempt to test your breath or blood without a court order.

Law, if a horse rider is on the roadway and the animal is out of control (usually because some jackass blows their horn to scare the horse) all vehicles must stop until the animal is under control. We have had fatalities here like this. BTW, it's cacti, plural not cactuses. (welcome to Arizona) Using your horn for other than an emergency is a citable offense. You can look up the traffic laws on Arizona revised statutes title 28 and criminal in title 13. The hunter harassment law was developed to stop the anti hunters following hunters banging drums and tambourines and other things . It is also illegal to sell fake Native American jewelry and call them real. I've been a cop here for 46 years and you need to look at the local laws to educate yourself. Street racing is illegal as is exhibition of speed, like doing burn outs on a dedicated street. Private property traffic laws, DUI, Reckless driving and some accident violations can be enforced on private property like handicap and fire zone (red zones) can be enforced on private property. These will cost you a ton of money. If you leave a child or animal in a car and it is dangerously hot you can be arrested and you will probably have broken glass also. In Arizona you can tape record anybody that is in the same conversation as you are without telling them, this also applies to phone conversations. Look under title 13 for wiretapping and eavesdropping. I am not providing you with statutes on purpose, I want you to look things up to learn. Yes, I was a teacher.

There is another law you need to understand. We take domestic violence VERY seriously here in Arizona. If you decide to fight with you significant other (look up what is considered a sig other, it may surprise you) and someone calls the police or you are in public one of the parties and sometimes if it's mutual combat both WILL go to jail period. If there id DV and the officer does not enforce the law the officer is breaking the law. Curb your anger, one great thing about Arizona is that there many places you can go to get counseling, if you need it and can't afford it you can still get help. Another law that is very serious and is enforced is rape, since we are a college state some young people come here and think that a drunk woman or man is fair game, think again. And yes I have arrested women for rape that aided or didn't do anything about someone else being raped.

Here's more detail on the whole "it's illegal to leave animals in hot cars": Arizona Revised Statutes (A.R.S.) § 13-2910 lists leaving an ANIMAL (not just a pet, but any animal) in a car as being cruel to animals and makes it a crime. Depending on the scenario that the animal is found in, a person could be found guilty of a class 1 misdemeanor, class 5 felony, or class 6 felony. (It's a bit of a mess how that's written, and I'm not going to parse it out.) A.R.S. 12-558.02 shields a person of any responsibility for breaking a window of a car or opening a car to rescue a child or animal, so long as these conditions are met: 1. The person has a good faith belief that the minor or confined domestic animal is in imminent danger of suffering physical injury or death unless the minor or domestic animal is removed from the motor vehicle. 2. The person determines that the motor vehicle is locked or there is no reasonable manner in which the person can remove the minor or domestic animal from the vehicle. 3. Before entering the motor vehicle, the person notifies a peace officer, emergency medical service provider or first responder or an animal control enforcement agency or deputy, if appropriate, of the minor or confined domestic animal. 4. The person does not use more force than is necessary under the circumstances to enter the motor vehicle and remove the minor or domestic animal from the vehicle. 5. The person remains with the minor or domestic animal until the person who is contacted as prescribed in paragraph 3 of this subsection arrives at the motor vehicle. HOWEVER, if any of these conditions are not met, the person can face prosecution under the law. Likewise the Arizona Revised Statutes also classifies leaving a child in a hot car as child endangerment. So, not only can you expect a first responder to be waiting for you at your car, you could lose your pet and/or child, face fines and prison time, and have to pay for damages on your car that a good Samaritan or a first responder did to get said child and/or animal out of your vehicle. We've seen way too many children and pets die to a very preventable situation. Regardless if it's animal or human, YOU SHOULD NEVER LEAVE ANYONE IN A CAR IN SUMMER WITH NO ABILITY TO ESCAPE THE HEAT! Heat kills. Simple as that. DO NOT DO THIS!

So, moving or removing anything blocking your way into a mine is a class 6 Felony. That includes pushing aside a fence blocking entrance to a mine. ARS § 13-1504.A.4 Entering unlawfully on real property that is subject to a valid mineral claim or lease with the intent to hold, work, take or explore for minerals on the claim or lease. Yes, you can argue that you're not there looking for mineral wealth, but at the same time, they can argue that you might be. This is a Class 1 misdemeanor.
