I don't know a whole heck of a lot about AZ's immigration law. I know enough to get by, which is probably more than the average person does. But I'm no expert on the law and have a lot of qualms with it. Yet this is one part I agree with: "Brewer is cheering
the the Court’s decision, arguing that the justices preserved the
“heart” of the law which “lets police check a person’s immigration
status while enforcing other laws if ‘reasonable suspicion’ exists that
the person is in the United States illegally."
I come from a long family line of police officers. And if they pull someone over for speeding and there's reasonable cause to check immigration status then so be it. I really see nothing wrong with this, especially for border states. Police have reasonable suspicion for a number of things. If they think there are drugs in your car, or have a suspicion to think so, and they ask you to get out of the car and you refuse, they can legally pull you out by your ears and drop you like a hot match if they wanted to. But they can't check to see if you are committing a crime by being in the country illegally? Really?
