I agree with this. I might be completely wrong in this situation, but from my personal experience, any time the police seem to get new powers that could hypothetically be abused, it rarely happens because it is not worth the police officer's time. There will be a few cases of abuse by a racist cop or two but I am guessing this law will not have a much impact in stopping illegal immigration or lead to increase of police abuse from racial profiling.
Laws like this tend to have other, more logical reasons, behind it. But, from an opposition standpoint, a good argument I've heard is that with the lack of funding to Arizona's police officers, this will probably not do much because of a lack of training and other things.
