Said Tancredo: "I do not want people here, there in Arizona, pulled over because you look like should be pulled over."

Does the law actually authorize this, though?
Or is someone lying again?

One of the practical things the law does is effectively repeal the pass given by police to illegals, so that they will cooperate with law enforcement and be willing to testify in court (and can do so without fear of their status being questioned).

With this law, there will now be 200,000 people in Phoenix who will neither be willing to call the police for help, nor testify against any crimes they witness.

And that is not a “good thing”...

Someone’s lyin again.

I know of no US state that allow police to stop you without reasonable suspicion and this law doesn’t change that despite what Al Sharpton claims.

Reasonable suspicion can lead to probable cause and probable cause can be used to check citizen status.

The law states that any LEO who comes into "contact" with any person whom he may think is in violation of federal immigration laws (iow...an illegal alien) will take appropriate and reasonable steps to determine that person's status.

The key here is coming into contact. That is as far as the guidelines go and could include visual.
