I assume you’ve missunderstood the ramifications of this. Traffic stops are all within 8 feet, this means that no traffic stop can be filmed in Arizona, many people get assaulted or killed by police in traffic stops. If the police are within 8 feet of you then they are able to assault you and claim you attacked them and any recording you have won’t legally count even if it shows the policeman is lying. This law helps on group of people, police. Specifically, dirty police. A good police officer would say “I see you’re filming and I’m happy for you to keep filming even if we have to come within 8 feet”
