Yes, because the Arizona's police chief has stated the law is a disgrace and that he won't enforce it.

On the other hand, any authority has the right--in fact, the responsibility--to demand ID of someone who appears to be where they do not belong, whether it's an employee in a high-security installation or a citizen on a street.

And producing an ID (and continuing on your way) isn't so difficult, embarrassing or time-consuming that it deserves all this debate and attention. Public shakedowns, strip-searches and lengthy detainment without due cause, sure... but not this.

I count "the Federal government have not processed my papers quickly enough" as "without due cause" for arresting someone. Which view the Federal government, but not AZ with this law, share.
