Top Official Says Feds May Not Process Illegals Referred From Arizona

Do you have any examples for the above? Just make up some hypothetical please.

Sure....

I will point out I am not a police officer and this would be my best guess based on the information I've seen. I'm sure someone that's an officer may be able to give a better view.

An officer pulls over a car speeding 5 miles over the speed limit. He requests liscense and registration which is absolutely typical for stops like this. The individual in the car can not produce a liscense. Driving a vehicle without a liscense could lead one to reasonable be suspicious that the person may be an illegal alien and thus why he does not possess the ID.

Lets stay on the street...

An officer pulls over a moving van type vehicle for a faulty break light on a road known for coyotes. In the process of going up to the window hears noises coming from the back of it. He inquires to the driver as to what cargo he's moving and the driver is evasive. He asks for the rear to be opened and upon doing so discovers a number of individuals huddled together. This is likely enough, I would imagine, to have a reasonable suspicion to ask for papers due to the known coyote route, the evasiveness of the driver in confirming what was in the back of his van, and the large amount of people in a part of a vehicle not meant for human travel.

Lets move off the street....

Police recieve a tip from a trustable source that a resturant is paying a large number of their staff under the table and thus violating tax rules. The police enter into the building and sieze his financial records, finding that a number of the individuals present are not being accounted for in their tax filings. One could then likely have a reasonable suspicion that the reason these individuals may be being paid under the table is that they're illegal.

In each case there is a legitimate, articulatable, reasoning why the officer is asking. In one case the person is driving without a liscense, something relatively easy to access for any citizen. In another case the people were attempting to be hid in the back of a moving van on a known human trafficing route. In the last case the individuals are being paid under the table so as to avoid taxes.

In all three cases there can be legitiamte reasons why they are not illegal. The person could have just never bothered to get his liscense, the guy is simply helping a family move and the cop made him nervous, the owner of the resturant could simply be extremely greedy. However there is a reasonable suspicion present that they could be illegal and thus they get asked for some form of proof of citizenship.

This is far different than "You, you're brown, give me your ID."
 
Besides the obvious instances, reasonable suspicion is still at the discretion of the LEO, hence the key word suspicion. If I, a hispanic, am walking with my white friend and neither of us has our id, which one of us has a greater chance of being detained further in Arizona. [/B]

Neither one of you..... but you already know that. :roll:
 
Sooo....what are the political ramifications for the Messiah and his corrupt political party when it becomes public knowledge that HIS administration is releasing thousands of known criminals that have been properly and legally arrested by local authorities?

****ed?......
