"The Libido for the Ugly"
Judge hints at bad news: "Will Arizona law hold me indefinitely?"
I heard on the radio that the Judge in the Arizona immigration law asked the state attorney if she were stopped and taken in until she could prove being a citizen, could she be held indefinitely.
I don't know for sure in this area of the Arizona law, but I believe cops do not get to release people once they are being held. If it is not spelled out, it is an argument that is bogus. I for one do not want police officers deciding how long I could be held.
sorry 
I heard on the radio that the Judge in the Arizona immigration law asked the state attorney if she were stopped and taken in until she could prove being a citizen, could she be held indefinitely.

Both attorneys responded.
There are constitutional limits as to how long somebody can be detained. The police officers are trained in that. We have 15,000 well qualified police officers out there who make these kind of decisions every day, said John Bouma, an attorney representing the state.
This law expressly allows law enforcement agencies to detain somebody indefinitely until they prove theyre an American citizen, said Montoya.
