Are there any restrictions to filming/interviewing the general public in Phoenix, AZ?

Question

I'm hoping do some freelance journalism, but am concerned with filming in a public area, as well as approaching strangers and asking for their opinions on certain matters. Do I need a permit? Should I have interviewees sign a waiver, e.t.c..? I'm entirely new to this area, so some help would be much appreciated.

Answer 1

As long as those being interviewed are in agreement to be interviewed, there are no restrictions what so ever.
