Will the officers be wearing lightning runes or have a hammer and sickle arm band?

Okay, I got nothing. This is gonna suck. I wonder if I was driving there if they'd ask me for my papers. If they didn't, that would be unfair.

But since your DL, proof of insurance and registration are considered your "papers" you'd be just fine.

as was that of many of my friends here in California.

there are still states that don't require birth certificates or proof of citizenship to get a DL.

the Arizona law doesn't count these states' DLs as adequate.

in other words, to avoid being detained, an American citizen needs to carry a Passport and/or Birth Certificate because of the stupidest law in the USA, which Arizona has now.

My AZ DL was issued without a BC based on my MN DL which was also issued without a BC, and they didn't even invalidate the MN one.

And that was only 5 years ago.

try reading the law next time.

A PERSON IS PRESUMED TO NOT BE AN ALIEN WHO IS UNLAWFULLY PRESENT IN THE UNITED STATES IF THE PERSON PROVIDES TO THE LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER OR AGENCY ANY OF THE FOLLOWING:

1. A VALID ARIZONA DRIVER LICENSE. 2. A VALID ARIZONA NONOPERATING IDENTIFICATION LICENSE. 3. A VALID TRIBAL ENROLLMENT CARD OR OTHER FORM OF TRIBAL

IDENTIFICATION. 4. IF THE ENTITY REQUIRES PROOF OF LEGAL PRESENCE IN THE UNITED STATES

BEFORE ISSUANCE, ANY VALID UNITED STATES FEDERAL, STATE OR LOCAL GOVERNMENT ISSUED IDENTIFICATION.

You have been taken in by a hoax. The "law" you linked to is on a blog site.

Isn't that what the objection is in all these stories?

folks of any color to their skin (no, a burn on some fat white guy, doesn't count), legal or not...

time to leave AZ behind. Let them enjoy their Living in the Stone Age mentality.

p.s..."officers can carry out a requirement that officers, while enforcing other laws, question the immigration status of those suspected of being in the country illegally."

And.........again, what are those standards going to be? Brown skin? Older car? Walking down the sidewalk?

That crap about, "while enforcing other laws", hell they can stop you for just being alive. Such bullshit.

Gonna miss you, Sedona ... Too bad, spring-training ... oh well ...

Has anyone studied how much revenue Arizona is losing because of it's extremist polices? ...

Here's one from last year ....

Phoenix Says Immigration Law Boycott Is Causing ‘Near Economic Crisis’

http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/2010/05/phoenix_says_immigration_law_boycott_is_causing_ne.php

I know I ignore invitations from Arizona travel businesses ....

Let them ask for my effen papers!

Everyone put on cliché Mexican clothing and drive through Arizona. See what they do!!!

Now That would be a tell !!!

I see tons and tons of "broken tail light" tickets coming your way!

A am waiting for the first United States Citizen or Native American to get arrested in Arizona .

Going to happen.

DHS is on track to expand Secure Communities to all law enforcement jurisdictions nationwide during fiscal year 2013.

They are eager to see the president there to ask for his birth certificate

...how pathetic and sad. Sorry to any DUers from AZ. I know it's a beautiful state with many decent folks there, but politically, that state is in trouble.

Put on "Mexican" stuff when you go out to drive. Put 6 people in the car a a time. The cliché would be enough to make Arizona sheriff's office go nuts.

Haaa... that would be fantastic!

- they since amended it so that they confirm the immigration status of all persons taken into custody but they retained the ability to inquire as to immigration status without arrest should they have reason to do so. There were other aspects to the ordinance having to do with county services that would not be available to illegal immigrants.

Initially there was concern that people would be profiled, which is why they amended it so that they confirm status of all arrested persons.
