Profiling issues aside, does anybody actually believe that this is a) a valid use of police resources or b) see any possible beneficial outcomes which may result from this initiative? The other interesting question of course is why do you need to make a law in order to enforce a pre-existing law? Surely the limited resources of Arizona's criminal justice system are best utilized elsewhere.

This seems quite incendiary, but I wonder if it has much popular support among the public or the police? It seems that sections may be open to constitutional challenge, but it will be interesting to see if this is viewed as potentially troublesome and a waste of resources by the public, or whether this has been brought in on a wave of public support.
