Elmer, I know what the law says. Unfortunately there is just no other way to enforce it, other than to discriminate based on one's judgment. Lots of factors go into said judgment, including ethnic and cultural. Too much of that is related to race. Take the example you brought up: > When you stop someone for reasonable suspicion unrelated to immigration status and they have no drivers license and no identification whatsoever, no insurance and they can't speak english, the police then have probably cause to ask for immigration status. That part about not speaking English can be construed as "racism" by the ACLU and any sympathetic judge who is more concerned about "social justice" than about enforcing the law. The police officer involved will then end up behind a desk for the rest of his or her career. I'm sure you can imagine of other ways the politically correct gestapo can engage in the politics of personal destruction. They will start with a valid point, but then twist logic to completely hamper law enforcement and satisfy whatever notions of equality they believe in. I'd rather acknowledge the truth and tell people to get over it, but then again, the truth isn't very popular these days. Tenchusatsu
