For those that say by law they can't just pull over anyone just to check for this.. Bullshit! Cops can look at 100 cars on the road and with all the laws on the books these days could pull over 70% of them on something.

Exactly, they look at 100 cars (not people) on the road and can pull you over for anything... just like that has happened to me and everyone else here. They then ask for an ID.
This is very clear in the law... profiling is not allowed already through State and Fed laws, plus this law has extra stuff in it to prevent it.
If you don't have an ID, you're breaking the law.. they then ask for Insurance and Proof of Registration. The illegal will again fail to provide proof, again breaking the law. The officer will then ask for his papers.
Before this law, he said here let me detain you, called border patrol, filed a joint paper, but 3-4 hours.. Now they arrest them, file them, and if needed border patrol picks them up from a few locations rather than random roads all over the State.
IE: Everyone gets more done.
Nothing wrong with any of this..... as you could be DUI and maybe he was just fishing for that, but found you were Illegal. Maybe it's a road check for DUI, but they nail illegals... just like at the illegal check points they nail people for DUI.
