Well, because basically for any lawful contact you need probable cause.. Reasonable suspicion is some subjective misnomer. To me, anything is unreasonable unless somebody has a warrant.[
http://www.azleg.gov/legtext/49leg/2r/bills/sb1070s.pdfB. FOR ANY LAWFUL CONTACT MADE BY A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIAL OR AGENCY
21 OF THIS STATE OR A COUNTY, CITY, TOWN OR OTHER POLITICAL SUBDIVISION OF THIS
22 STATE WHERE REASONABLE SUSPICION EXISTS THAT THE PERSON IS AN ALIEN WHO IS
23 UNLAWFULLY PRESENT IN THE UNITED STATES, A REASONABLE ATTEMPT SHALL BE MADE,
24 WHEN PRACTICABLE, TO DETERMINE THE IMMIGRATION STATUS OF THE PERSON. THE
25 PERSON'S IMMIGRATION STATUS SHALL BE VERIFIED WITH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
26 PURSUANT TO 8 UNITED STATES CODE SECTION 1373(c).
Whats wrong with it? Especially line 22, if the person doesn't speak a lick of english and has no proof of identification on him then I see nothing wrong with police taking extra steps to prove he/she is legal to be in our country. As someone has already pointed out on this thread just because they use the term "papers" doesn't mean they have to track down a carbon copy of the the person's naturalization papers.
As for the rest of your post, are you talking about the Trucker?
Who decides whats unreasonable? The police... no good.. and no matter how many people can justify it; its still a violation..
Now perhaps this has changed in the new law; perhaps not. Ill have to go thru it...
But I dont let people tell me its legal just because they want to see the illegals go home anymore than I let people tell me its ILLegal because theyre offended by racial profiling.
Well, apparently you let people tell you it's UNCONSTITUTIONAL without even bothering to read it, so you're not impressing anyone with how measured and thoughtful you are, if that was your plan. Here's a thought: why don't you shut your flapping cakehole either way until you've actually READ the freaking thing.
