I get punished for something totally unrelated, but something that I did that was illegal.
Why should this not be true for everyone?

personally i don't disagree with the right for police officers to detain people without identification or papers in obvious immigration type settings, especially in cities or states that have a great deal of immigration.
it's just the way this entire law was introduced, with the amendments, shows no real respect for realities of the racial profiling this will encourage
