Also, just want to point out, in Arizona, for most misdemeanors, you have no right to a jury trial, I didn't read up enough on this to know whether it would be a felony / misdemeanor, etc (or if it could be either), but its something to also be aware of, I have lived in Arizona and seen their legal system firsthand and its a pathetic joke, it has to be one of the worst in the U.S., certainly for a state that has a major metro area.. if you get charged with a misdemeanor, your options are 1) bench trial in front of some corrupt judge (about 80% chance of conviction) 2) plea deal. Someone needs to stop the nutjobs out there, I am all for the federal government stepping in, in cases like this, where they are essentially trying to massively violate people's civil rights.
The state truly does have a "prison complex", it has a huge law enforcement culture and they are looking for bodies to put in prison as it makes the state money and this may just be another one of their sick attempts to have another way to put people in jail. Seeing something like this is getting me all worked up, I truly hate that place with a passion
