Bret,
Per our phone conversation write up a couple of scenarios (right way and wrong way) based
on Judge Snows order to MCSO and your conversations with Tim Casey. I will have Tim review what
you write up and have Chief Sands sign off on it. Once all that is done we will get with training
reference putting something out in E-Learning.
The Court is enjoining the MCSO "from detaining any person based solely on knowledge,
without more, that the person is in the country without unlawful authority. To be clear, the Court is not
enjoing MCSO from enforcing valid state laws, or detaining invidudals when officer have reasonable
suspicion that individuals are violating a state criminal law. Instead, it is enjoing MCSO from violating
federal, rights protected by the United States Constitution in the process of enforcing valid state law
based on an incorrect understanding of the law.: p. 37-38.
(See attached for full ruling).

Give me a call once you have reviewed the scenarios listed below. I am going to copy you on
all these emails so attorney client privilege applies until we get a final training product out to the
troops.
Thanks,
Joe
From: Brett Palmer - SHERIFFX
Lt. SousaBelow is my rough construction of an eLeaming segment based on Judge Snow's order. I constructed this in
accordance with the many conversations you & I have had, as well as taking into account the information
conveyed to us both from Tim Casey concerning Judge Snow's order. Also, in accordance with my own personal
experience in this matter, I think it is imperative that Tim Casey review this and any training material I arn asked
to create that could be used to instruct Deputies in this very sensitive area. Also note, I created these scenarios
with Patrol Deputies as the focus.
Training Directive
Maricopa County Deputies in a wide range of assignments could come across individuals through their lawful
contacts whom they suspect through reasonable suspicion of being illegal aliens in the United States. It is
important the Deputies and the Supervisors understand the scope to which they are empowered to act in these
scenarios, as limits have recently been set by Judge Murray Snow in a Federal court case. The order issued by
Judge Snow states that MCSO cannot detain any person based solely on the suspicion they are an illegal alien
present in the United States. What this means is that any Deputy who has contact with a person and during the
contact, the Deputy arrives at the reasonable suspicion through articulable indicators that the person may be an
illegal alien in the United States, cannot and will not detain or further the detainment of this person without having
more than just this singular suspicion.
The most common articulable indicators giving rise to the reasonable suspicion that a person may be an illegal
alien in the United States are:
1) The person speaks no English or difficult/broken English
2) The person has no form of ID or no form of ID issued by the United States.

Scenario I
A Patrol Deputy working at 2AM is patrolling a residential area known to have been hit recently with car
burglaries. The Deputy comes across an adult male walking in the area and decides to make contact. The Deputy
quickly finds this person speaks no English and the only ID he has is a Mexico Driver License issued by
Mexico. After talking with this person for several minutes, the Deputy determines there is no crime being
committed under state law, but the Deputy reasonably believes based on the two indicators listed above that this
person may be an illegal alien in the United States. DO NOT DETAIN- The Deputy has no other articulable
indicators to show a crime ha's, is, or is about to be committed under state law. The Deputy cannot detain based
solely on the reasonable suspicion this person may be an illegal alien. In this scenario, the Deputy should end his
contact and allow the person to continue on their way.
Scenario 2
A Patrol Deputy conducts a traffic stop on a vehicle for speeding. The Deputy fmds the vehicle is occupied by
four adult male subjects. The driver speaks only Spanish and provides a valid Arizona driver license as his ID. As
a matter of good policing practice, the Deputy asks for lD from the three passengers. All three passengers provide
Mexico Consular Cards issued by the Mexican Consulate as lD (not a U.S. ID). All three passengers speak only
Spanish. Within about 15 minutes, the Deputy has determined no criminal offense has, is or is about to be
committed. The only violation is the civil speeding. However, the Deputy does reasonably believe based on the
two indicators listed above that the three passengers may be illegal aliens in the United States. DO NOT DETAIN
- The Deputy has no articulable indicators of a crime under state law. The Deputy cannot detain based solely on
the reasonable suspicion these passengers may be illegal aliens. In this scenario, the Deputy should use their
discretion to issue either a written citation or a verbal warning to the driver and release the vehicle with all of the
occupants.
Scenario 3
A Patrol Deputy conducts a traffic stop on a vehicle for expired registration. The Deputy fmds the vehicle is
occupied by an adult male driver and an adult male passenger. The driver speaks only Spanish and presents an
expired California Driver License as ID. The passenger speaks only Spanish and presents a Mexico Voter
Registration Card as ID (not a U.S. ID). The fact that the passenger does not speak English and has no form of
U.S. ID causes the Deputy to reasonably believe the passenger may be an illegal alien in the United States. During
the traffic stop investigation, the Deputy discovers the passenger is in possession of an open alcohol container
and has been consuming alcohol out of that container while riding in the vehicle. In this scenario, there are two
aspects to consider ... With respect to the driver, the Deputy should write the driver a civil citation for expired
registration and driving with an expired driver license. The driver should ultimately be released after being issued
the citation. While the driver speaks only Spanish, he did present a valid form ofU.S.lD. It does not matter that
the ID was expired. The expired California license is still a valid form of U.S. ID. There is no reasonable
suspicion the driver is an illegal alien. With respect to the passenger, the Deputy should write a criminal citation
to the passenger for the Title Four violation. While in the course of writing both citations, the Deputy can
simultaneously place a phone call to ICE to advise them of his suspicion that the passenger may be an illegal alien
in the U.S. IfiCE clearly instructs the Deputy to detain the passenger for subsequent tum over to an ICE facility
or officer, then the Deputy can make the physical detaimnent of the passenger based on the directive from
ICE. The difference in this scenario from the first two is that there was a criminal offense under state law
committed by the passenger. The passenger was not detained because of suspicion he was an illegal alien. The
passenger was detained for a state law violation and in the course of the ongoing investigation ICE was contacted.
Notes for Discussion- Scenario 3:
1) Per our many conversations LT, patrol needs very clear & direct instructions on how to handle
these situations.

Scenario 4
A Patrol Deputy conducts a traffic stop on a vehicle for speeding. The Deputy finds the vehicle is occupied by
I 0 Hispanic subjects - a driver and nine passengers. The passengers all appear to have either no ID or only ID
issued by another country other than the U.S. The passengers all appear to have a disheveled look, are dirty in
appearance, look as if one or more of them were very recently in a desert enviromnent, and all appear
nervous. There is a lack ofluggage in the vehicle. The nine passengers are taking up space in the vehicle meant
to comfortably seat six or less. The driver provides a story about their travel that cannot be corroborated in totality
by the passengers or there are conflicting stories of their travel between the driver and passengers. The driver
eventually admits he is being paid for driving these passengers to a specific destination (could be he is receiving
money for gas). In this scenario, the Deputy should contact the on-call HSU Sgt. through Radio as these
observations are good observations that human smuggling is taking place- a state felony crime.
Notes for Discussion- Scenario 4:
I) Not all of these observations need to be present to reasonably believe human smuggling is taking
place. Any two or more of these observations would be sufficient to justify a call to the on-call
HSU Sgt.
2) This would also apply to drop houses and stand-up loads, those caught traveling through the open
desert on foot with a coyote/guide.

FW: Melendres Order On Summary Judgment
Order re MSJ 122311.pdf
CaseySub 000050
Folks,
In follow-up to my recent telephone call, attached is the Court's Order on the dueling summary judgement
motions and class certification motion.
Here is a quick summary:
1. There is NO finding as a matter of law that the MCSO is racial profiling. The racial profiling claim must
be resolved at trial (Plaintiffs' motion is denied; Defendants' motion is denied);
2. The PlaintiffRodrignez Fom1h Amendment Claim is dismissed but there racial profiling claim appears to
exist;
3.
The Plaintiffs Melendres and Meraz and Nieto's Fom1h Amendt claims as to traffic stops will go to trial;
4. Melendres' Fom1h Amendment claim is granted on oral motion of the Plaintiffs as to his
DETENTION. The Court ruled that Deputy Louis DiPietro did not have reasonable suspicion that Melendres
may have violated the human smuggling statute Gn other words, he did not have reasonable suspicion that all
the elements of the crime may have been satisified).
