Because in most cases, even if clearly a legal shooting, they take the firearm leaving you defenseless till their investigation is over which could take years. It is also regarded as a evidence piece.
Nothing is ever "clearly a legal shooting" until it is investigated and such a conclusion is made.

Any police investigator worth their salt can read the scene and see if it's staged or not, doesn't need to take years and years and years and years and years and years to figure this out. These are barriers put in place by ANC to make things as difficult as possible. Could easily change the laws to "trespassers will be shot" and keep things simple.
