Arizona HB2882 amends law enforcement identification and mask-wearing policies.

Arizona HB2882 revises state law to mandate that agencies employing peace officers adopt written policies requiring visible identification during law enforcement duties. Exceptions include undercover operations, tactical operations, court proceedings, and specific safety concerns. The bill also prohibits peace officers from wearing facial coverings that obscure identity unless specified conditions apply, such as protective gear requirements or court proceedings. Additionally, it classifies impersonating a peace officer as a felony and updates assault and unlawful imprisonment classifications.
