LulzSec Posts First Secret Document Dump

Posted by timothy on from the lacks-charismatic-public-face dept.

Dangerous_Minds writes "LulzSec has been vowing to expose government secrets for the last few days. Now they have delivered. According to ZeroPaid, LulzSec has posted secret documents about Arizona Law Enforcement. The release has been posted to file-sharing website ThePirateBay. LulzSec says the release is because they are 'against SB1070 and the racial profiling anti-immigrant police state that is Arizona.'"

    It's anti-illegal-immigrant. There's a difference.

      Unfortunately, many can't distinguish between the two positions. My legal immigrant friends sure can.

      Right, because all illegal immigrants commit crimes.

      Ahem.

      "A law enforcement official or agency of this state or a county, city, town or other political subdivision of this state may not solely consider race, color or national origin in implementing the requirements of this subsection except to the extent permitted by the united states or arizona constitution"

      Do you really think in a state where brown skin is the majority that cops will waste their time bugging everyone who is brown skinned? We in AZ are aware there are a lot of legal Hispanics here, don't insult us with your assumptions.

      I am anti-illegal immigrants, but I have a problem with the Arizona law: It can't possibly be constitutional.

      Allow me to explain. My mother is a white american who married a latino. I was born in the US, I have citizenship by blood and by place of birth. If I were to visit Arizona, and some cop looks at me, he might decide that he has "probable cause" to ask for papers, because I look foreign. As a result you have a cop that is going to ask an American citizen for papers and jail me if I refuse to comply.

      How in the FUCK can you think that's constitutional?

      Now, if the law would instead put employers in jail who hire illegal immigrants knowingly, I'd be all for it. That's the problem anyway. If they couldn't get jobs here, the US wouldn't be worth the enormous risk they take crossing the border.

    You can't fix slavery with a law that punishes the slaves instead of the slaveowners.

    Not for public distribution should be illegal in a free democratic society. Democracy fails if the voters don't have a clear and complete perspective.
