Brewer signed the bill in a state auditorium about a mile from the Capitol complex where demonstrators have protested the legislation since the measure was approved by lawmakers on Monday. Their numbers grew steadily throughout the week, with buses bringing protesters from as far away as Los Angeles.

Charming (said with dry sarcasm, for those who need a clue).
A 13-year-old calling LEO's "pigs" for enforcing the law, and about 2000 protestors, many of whom were bussed in from elsewhere to create a false impression of large numbers opposed to the new law. *rolls eyes*
Mark Spencer, President of the Phoenix Law Enforcement Association, is being interviewed now. He talks about Probable Cause for an officer to pull you over. Any vehicle operator has to produce some form of identification. The host asked, if a US citizen forgot his wallet, he can be detained like anyone else. If someone produces an AZ driver’s license but has brown skin and a Spanish accent, what would happen? Mark responded with a question: what is suspicious about a US citizen producing valid ID? Mark said it’s frustrating when you have to pass a bill to force police chiefs to allow police officers to do police work. The mandate is not forcing officers to do this check. The mandate is to force police chiefs to allow them to do it.
Good stuff but I have to get back to work. Still proud!
