Hey, I enjoy the conversation. Yeah, I didn't read the article.
And I don't know everything, but I do know that 13 months in a detention center for nothing is wrongful imprisonment.
And they're just dumb. Who goes anywhere without ID? Seriously, if you're riding a bike and you're not carrying ID, and you get hit by a truck? Dumb.
Anyway, it's easy enough for the cops to do a quick search in a database to find if you're a citizen.
Officer pulls you over. First thing they ask is, "May I see your driver's license and registration?"
Ooooh, wow. Guess I'm getting racially profiled every time I get caught speeding.
You're right--citizens of Latino descent will be questioned "quite frequently"... if they break the law...
You're right--it's absurd to carry ID. :)
I do some really crazy things every day, like drive my car. And if I want to drive my car, I take my ID and proof of citizenship with me. It's called my driver's license.
Apparently nobody in Arizona drives with their driver's license...
