What do you think 'lawful contact' means? Why don't you read up on what the bill really means...right now you sound as foolish as Obama when describing the impact of the legislation.

What fewer people have noticed is the phrase "lawful contact," which defines what must be going on before police even think about checking immigration status. "That means the officer is already engaged in some detention of an individual because he's violated some other law," says Kris Kobach, a University of Missouri Kansas City Law School professor who helped draft the measure. "The most likely context where this law would come into play is a traffic stop."
As far as "reasonable suspicion" is concerned, there is a great deal of case law dealing with the idea, but in immigration matters, it means a combination of circumstances that, taken together, cause the officer to suspect lawbreaking. It's not race -- Arizona's new law specifically says race and ethnicity cannot be the sole factors in determining a reasonable suspicion.

Mexico will search only non-Mexicans whether they're legal citizens or not. God help you if you're not brown and don't speak spanish.
By the way, the AZ law is against illegal aliens, not legal citizens.
AZ law allows police to apply the law to anyone they suspect of being an illegal immigrant. If you cannot provide documentation you are presumed guilty. So if the cop stops you and you forgot your identification, you are presumed guilty.
"Reasonable Suspicion" is a code word for, do whatever the hell you want to include racial profiling...If it were anything else the term "probable cause" would've been used.

I don't know what lawful contact means. Can you give me the legal definition. Not that I don't take your word for it, but I would like a link from a reputable source, sorry, no blogs or op ed pieces.
Not only can they search you without any crime being commited, they can use race, and get this, if you fail to provide identification, you are presumed guilty. Here is the text from the law

It all depends on what definition the phrase "lawful contact" means. Does it mean the police need to be contacting you in the course of their duties as police officers while enforcing the law, such as pulling you over for a law violation, or arrest for a crime, or domestic abuse? I would say they prob need to clarify that part. I know what i think it means, but that does not matter.
I am pretty sure the AZ border guards can demand the identification of anyone who is within 25 miles of the border, and they do not need any reason to do so.

you are quoting the rights of a citizen. bottom line your citizenship rights esp civil rights apply in your own country. this is not your country its ours. i would encourage you to return to mexico where your rights as a citizen are respected.
Not only can they search you without any crime being commited, they can use race, and get this, if you fail to provide identification, you are presumed guilty. Here is the text from the law
Which AGAIN, has already been deemed legal by the US Supreme Court.
AZ law allows police to apply the law to anyone they suspect of being an illegal immigrant. If you cannot provide documentation you are presumed guilty. So if the cop stops you and you forgot your identification, you are presumed guilty.
And again, the Supreme Court has already said THATS FINE.
