I'm completely against Amnesty but I'm also not in favor of real I.D. and the government forcing people to carry around their papers but that is where we are headed.
Do NOT be fooled by the so their so called SB1070 Fact Sheet. It does not list all the details. You have to read the entire legislation.
This bill is NOT about immigration and you think it is they fooled you good. This is about expanding police powers to that of little dictators in police uniforms.
Now everyone who is stopped gets their information and data transmitted to Homeland security via your drivers license number or your social security number or your name. This was not allowed until this bill was passed. Now they can arrest and detain you for any public offense and run all you data through Homeland security.
Soon every state will be doing this under the guise of stopping illegals which it will not stop. All that data will now be used to track you by the federal government. If you get a ticket in maine...they know. If you get stopped and let go in Texas they know. If they run your plates in Georgia they know. This is the beginning of papers please.

Invading and occupying sovereign countries that have virtually no military and then terrorizing the locals in undeclared unconstitutional wars is not something I would be bragging about!

Terry v. Ohio, 392 U.S. 1 (1968), was a decision by the United States Supreme Court which held that the Fourth Amendment prohibition on unreasonable searches and seizures is not violated when a police officer stops a suspect on the street and searches him without probable cause to arrest, IF the police officer has a REASONABLE SUSPICION that the person has committed, is committing, or is about to commit a CRIME.
==============================
UPDATE June 10th 2010
The "final" version of the bill has it in section F, F1 and F2. Everyone I'm bccing have put E, E1 and E2 in their analysis. Please change that to F, F1 and F2 and link using the link above which is the most up to date version.
I fully expect that once cogent criticisms of the above version circulate in the news, that Pearce will "find" the "real" final version of the bill and we'll get another version switching sections around again. Just be prepared. But right now, the provision handing over law abiding citizens data to homeland security, thereby turning Arizona licenses into national ids, is in 11-1051 F, F1 and F2. Please update any analyses you have posted.
