Read the new law before you comment. The officer must first Stop you for BEING IN VIOLATION OF THE LAW (not just because he thinks your here illegally) In other words he has to observe you doing something illegal! Now in the process of detaining or questioning you for this violation if he feels you may be here illegaly he can ask you for proof of citizenship. Contrary to popular ignorant belief an officer cant legally stop you just because your hispanic.
