From a lawyer I correspond with that is following the issue closely. ************************************************************ The original law required a lawful contact before any questions regarding citizenship can be asked. Some found ‘lawful contact’ ambiguous, so an amendment was drafted to eliminate concerns. azleg.gov The amendment to the law replaces “lawful contact” with “lawful stop, detention or arrest”. azleg.gov That hardly sounds random to me. Furthermore, the law explicitly forbids profiling solely based upon race and has since the beginning: “A law enforcement official or agency of this state or a county, city, town or other political subdivision of this state may not solely consider race, color or national origin in implementing the requirements of this subsection except to the extent permitted by the United States or Arizona Constitution.” – Senate Bill 1070, Article 8(B).
