I have a problem with the Arizona law, to be honest. The idea that police can demand papers if there is a “reasonable” suspicion someone is illegal is too vague and open to abuse. It will also likely be struck down on Constitutional grounds.

Oh good, then I don't have to bother to get my drivers license renewed. I've always hated those pictures and if we don't have to give our "papers" to the police when we're stopped for a ticket, then I won't need a license.

Nice job on completely missing the point. You get pulled over (in theory at least;) because you’ve already violated the law. There’s well established precedent that in those circumstances you must present ID.

Being forced to present ID strictly on the whim of the police without any legal infraction is “a bridge too far”, IMO.
