a. ...you to use your personal device to record a law enforcement officers actions.
b. ...you to deny a law enforcement officer the permission to proceed and they must comply in all conditions.
c. ...a law enforcement officer to ask you your immigration status as long as you are over 21.

Explanation:

Analyze the question prompt

The question asks about a "New 2020 law affecting traffic stops" and what it allows. The accompanying graphic shows a hand holding a smartphone recording a police officer.

Evaluate the options

• Option A states: "...you to use your personal device to record a law enforcement officer's actions." This aligns directly with the visual aid showing a phone recording an officer during a stop. Many jurisdictions (such as Virginia's Community Safety Act of 2020) explicitly protected or clarified the right of drivers/passengers to record interactions during Enforcement Stop Procedures.
• Option B states: "...you to deny a law enforcement officer the permission to proceed and they must comply in all conditions." This is legally incorrect; drivers cannot unilaterally deny officers the authority to conduct a lawful stop or investigation.
• Option C states: "...a law enforcement officer to ask you your immigration status as long as you are over 21." This is incorrect and does not relate to the visual context or standard 2020 traffic stop reforms.

Connect to driver safety concepts

Under Enforcement Stop Procedures, citizens generally have a constitutionally protected right to record officers in public spaces as long as they do not interfere with the officer's duties. The 2020 legislative updates in several states formally codified or reinforced this right during traffic stops to promote transparency and safety.

Answer:

• (A) ...you to use your personal device to record a law enforcement officer's actions. (Correct answer)
• (B) ...you to deny a law enforcement officer the permission to proceed and they must comply in all conditions.
• (C) ...a law enforcement officer to ask you your immigration status as long as you are over 21.
