These abbreviations sound like diseases...
Anyways, I've been referring to SB 1070 but I should be referring to it AND to HB 2162. It was passed to amend SB 1070. The main difference is that "race, color, or ethnicity simply cannot be used as part of reasonable suspicion" (http://www.publiusnm.org/sb-1070-meet-hb-2162-az-immigration-law-amended/).
Here is the direct quote from the bill:
"C. A law enforcement official or agency of this state or a county, city, town or other political subdivision of this state may not consider race, color or national origin in the enforcement of this section except to the extent permitted by the United States or Arizona constitution." http://www.azleg.gov/FormatDocument.asp?inDoc=/legtext/49leg/2r/bills/hb2162c.htm
Take a look at HB 2162 for yourself and tell me what you think. Does this solve the racial profiling that might occur from the passage of SB 1070?
