BTW suspicion/instinct/common sense is an excellent tool of law enforcement for *all* types of crime. Regards, Walter It's also been a means of doing whatever the cop wants to do. For isntance, it's not uncommon for police to decide that any black person driving a very expensive sports car is suspicious. All very interesting, but have you looked at the actual text of the law yet? Does it say what you said it does? -- Bert Hyman St. Paul, MN |

Define "reasonable suspicion" in other contexts. If the person speaks no English, that's a start. |

In a previous post you mentioned the roadblock checks that take place inland from the border. In 1983 my French neighbor and I ran into one of these, coming up from San Diego to Los Angeles on the freeway. We, like all the other northbound drivers, were pulled over. Our visit with the patrolman was very brief. He took one look at us, saw that we were white blondes of northern European origin, and waved us on. The irony of the story is that at that time we were, in fact, undocumented. I was an American citizen, but could not prove it. My French neighbor was a visitor on a tourist visa which had not expired, but could not prove it. The reason we were undocumented was because all our documents had been stolen in an 1 AM burglary of our motel room in a suburb of Los Angeles. All we had to prove what we said was the police report of the burglary (no arrest). But in our case, there was apparently no "reasonable suspicion". I too would like a definition.

Define "reasonable suspicion" in other contexts. If the person speaks no English, that's a start. Perfectly legal immigrants may speak little or no English. And quite illegal immigrants may speak flawless English. But you won't find out what the person's speech abilities are until you've alrteady stopped him. -- ************* DAVE HATUNEN ) ************* * Tucson Arizona, out where the cacti grow * * My typos & mispellings are intentional copyright traps * |

In a previous post you mentioned the roadblock checks that take place inland from the border. In 1983 my French neighbor and I ran into one of these, coming up from San Diego to Los Angeles on the freeway. It's still there on I-5, and it's kind of famous. There are highway signs with silhouettes of running people on them as a warning to drivers taht tehre mey be people on the road. The coyotes bringing in illegals will let them out of thevehicle a mile or so ahead and tell them to walk to teh other side. We, like all the other northbound drivers, were pulled over. Our visit with the patrolman was very brief. He took one look at us, saw that we were white blondes of northern European origin, and waved us on. Yep. Us, too. The irony of the story is that at that time we were, in fact, undocumented. I was an American citizen, but could not prove it.

All we had to prove what we said was the police report of the burglary (no arrest). But in our case, there was apparently no "reasonable suspicion". I too would like a definition. Yep. Therein lies potential abuse of the law. Here in Tucson in the winter we get a lot of "snowbirds", people who come from colder climates with RVs or to leased flats to enjoy the winter without snow. Many of them drive vehicles with Canadian license plates. I doubt any of them will ever be stopped to check on the legality of their presence. -- ************* DAVE HATUNEN ) ************* * Tucson Arizona, out where the cacti grow * * My typos & mispellings are intentional copyright traps * |
