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!
Good for PLEA and Spencer. You don’t produce ID as a driver, depending on what they may see in the car or how you act as a driver, your ass can be hauled in. Otherwise you are cited and have to appear. Wonder how many illegals are cited and never appear? I’ll bet every single one that’s cited never appears in court.
