However, you can't be so naive as to believe an overzealous officer wouldn't pull someone over simply in order to check citizenship. The Officer has to have probable cause before he can pull someone over. If the local police department has a problem with employing racists, that's a problem for that department to deal with, not a scapegoat for declaring a law un-Constitutional.
Furthermore, since all people in the State of Arizona would have to show ID, I don't see how a Fourteenth Amendment argument can be made–the law treats everyone equally.
If you want to make the claim that statically those of Latin American decent will be targeted more frequently and therefore the law is unfair, then you must also be willing to say that those who drive are more likely to be asked to show their ID which is also "unfair" because those who don't drive don't have to show their IDs as often, ergo, driver's licenses should be illegal for the same reason you attack SB 1070.
Those who don't like the law can move to one of forty-nine other States, not including territories such as Puerto Rico, Guam, Midway, Rota Island, etc. If you personally don't like the law, you don't have to conduct business with anyone or any entity that resides in or is incorporated in the State of Arizona. And for those illegals who feel like they are being illegally profiled, they can enter the country via California where there are entire cities set up to be a safe haven for illegals.
