[QUOTE="trplnkl, post: 739212, member: 13254"] The following is an entry to a discussion board on our local newspaper online. The discussion is on concerns of profiling with the Az law. The author is a local policeman. By MCBarber | 05/24/10 - 11:02 I think it's hilarious reading all the comments saying that law enforcement will only be targeting dark skinned people for proof they are citizens. Do you have any clue how many people I stop on a daily basis who are white, black, hispanic, asian (race does not matter), that I ask for a driver's license if driving or TX ID card or at least a SSN. Go to the police desk and you'll see any of those are part of the reports we make on a daily basis. What I take from ******'s and other's statements about this is just because a law like this goes into effect, all of a sudden I am going to stop asking anyone who's not hispanic to provide me with an ID card of some sort. COME BACK TO REALITY PEOPLE. It's called police work. I would love for you to go to an Arizona police station after this goes into effect and do a ride along and see exactly what goes on. Hell, you can go to the ******* PD and talk to the desk about getting on a ride along and see that we already ask everyone we stop for ID. The only difference is every illegal we find during a routine investigation, our hands are tied in helping remove that individual even though he/she's breaking the law. [/QUOTE]
