Just like Twista you can't find anything unconstitutional as it is written can you?

You simply said in another post that it is no big deal to have to show ID when caught in a DUI checkpoint where you were told by law enforcement to pull over and show your paperwork without any probable cause whatsoever. This practice is much more unconstitutional than the AZ law, yet the public ignores it.
Yep. In DUI checkpoints (I'm a pizza delivery guy I've been through dozens), they pretty much like for the obvious signs of intoxication. Show em your license and you're free to go. No unreasonable search and seizure unless there's very probably cause.

How will illegals be weeded out? It's not like they're obvious as drunks.

This is going to lead to mass profiling, and millions of dollars will be wasted in courts.

I can show news stories. I tell you what. I'll find some links to that when you show me proof that this law allows police to round people up because of skin color. How's that?

The illegal immigrants have come for a multitude of reasons, and Arizona has been complaining for a long time. The violence was the tipping point for Arizona.

these are lawbreakers.
Which was a response to your post which was a response to mine that brought up Reagan and his vote for amnesty. When you track back, make sure you go all the way to have a proper perspective, don't try it halfway down the line unless you want to derail a train of arguments on purpose.

Again you are purposely being difficult because you know the truth and you just can't admit it. You can't look for obvious signs of intoxication without stopping at the checkpoint first which they HAD NO PROBABLE CAUSE to even stop you. You like putting the cart before the horse and that is how you are going to justify this? Getting pinched in a DUI check when you were drinking is illegal search and seizure according to the 4th Amendment. So knowing that, why is that practice ok with you and most other people, but this AZ law not? They can conduct it in the same way. Setup traffic safety stops and check ID's just like in a DUI checkpoint. If it is legal to do for DUI's it is legal to do here as well.

Police have been rounding up people because of their skin color well before you and I were born. This basically gives police the right to question anyone for any reason their legitimacy of citizenship. How the hell do you think they're going to weed people out? And the violent tendencies of illegal immigrants are no more greater than violent tendencies of legal immigrants and Americans.

you can stuff your link in your pipe and smoke it. YOU need to point out where YOU think the violations are. Again, you can't.

From your link:

"To pass muster under the Fourth Amendment, detention must be 'reasonable." - (Arizona law specifically states this and is therefore consistent with the 4th Amendment)

"In the context of a criminal arrest, a detention of longer than 48 hours without a probable cause determination violates the Fourth Amendment as a matter of law in the absence of a demonstrated emergency or other extraordinary circumstance" - (Arizona law specifically states this and is therefore consistent with the 4th Amendment)

"Even in the law enforcement context, the State may interfere with an individual's Fourth Amendment interests with less than probable cause and without a warrant if the intrusion is only minimal and is justified by law enforcement purposes. E.g., Michigan State Police Dept v. Sitz, 496 U.S. 444, 450 ('90); Terry v. Ohio, 392 U.S. 1, 20 ('68). "

Next?

Considering you've danced around the profiling and unconstitutional aspect, you're the one who "knows the truth and won't admit it".

Don't whine to me about DUI Checkpoints. It's Reagan and the RW in bed with MADD.

Police stop people all the time for no reasonable cause. Ever driven with a black guy in your car?

The SCOTUS said checkpoints are constitutional
