Tucson police officers got new orders from the City Council on how to enforce SB 1070.
Dozens of people packed council chambers for the unanimous vote approving changes to the rules officers will follow when immigration issues arise.
Some of the changes emphasize that officers focus on suspects, not on victims’ or witnesses’ immigration status; require the presence of a parent or guardian if officers question a juvenile on immigration status; and make reasonable attempts to find alternatives to towing a vehicle during a traffic stop when the violation does mandate impoundment.
