Logic didn't seem to have been a thing in the Daniel Shaver shooting, which happened in this state. I thought the bodycam footage was a pretty clear illustration of a terrified and confused unarmed victim doing his best to follow unclear instructions being shot by a cop who, in the end, clearly had some facts wrong. And the cop was then acquitted, got re-hired and given a pension because he had a disabling case of PTSD from the incident. Imagine what a state like that could get away with if video wasn't even public, or how easily a cop could get away with intimidating people who are even 8+ feet away.
I wouldn't be quick to trust this law if I lived in Arizona and tended to be harassed by police.
