The day before the new Arizona law was signed by Governor Brewer, a truck driver was arrested at a weight station for not having a birth certificate. Having been a truck driver, I am totally familiar with procedures at a weight station. Truckers are usually asked for registration, log book, license, insurance card, receipts, and there is a truck inspection. Once I was asked for my Social Security Number which led to a threat of my being arrested but that is another story. At no time however was I asked for a birth certificate. I'm sure every truck driver at the Arizona weight station on the day this guy was arrested could also have been arrested for not having a birth certificate. I am also of Hispanic descent born in NYC but don't look like the 'typical' Hispanic.
