Federal Judge Neil V. Wake ruled in 2008, and again in 2010, that the Maricopa County jails violated the constitutional rights of inmates in medical and other care related issues.[25][26] This ruling was a result of a lawsuit brought by the ACLU, which alleged that "Arpaio routinely abused pre-trial detainees at Maricopa County Jail by feeding them moldy bread, rotten fruit and other contaminated food, housing them in cells so hot as to endanger their health, denying them care for serious medical and mental health needs and keeping them packed as tightly as sardines in holding cells for days at a time during intake."[48]
An analysis by the Maricopa County Office of Management and Budget, completed in April 2011, found Arpaio had misspent almost $100 million over the previous 5 years.
Arpaio used the detention fund to pay for investigations of political rivals, and activities involving his human-smuggling unit.
The analysis also showed a number of inappropriate spending items, including a trip to Alaska where deputies stayed at a fishing resort, and trips to Disneyland.
The Republic also found that a restricted jail enhancement fund was improperly used to pay for out-of-state training, a staff party at a local amusement park, and a $456,000 bus, which was purchased by Arpaio in violation of county procurement rules.[85][90]

It all sounds good in theory but they will and do arrest people who can not provide information on themselves , that is the real world not the paper one .
And if this is true, they open themselves up to a myriad of lawsuits and retribution.
They get away with it because the average person in america today cant be bothered to research for themselves, and instead takes law enforcements' word on what is legal and illegal.
learn your rights people. Its the only way to use them.

I would challenge you to get pulled over for speeding or running a red light. Then when the cop comes up and asks you for identification just sit there, say nothing, and give him nothing. It may be your right, but you will be detained or arrested for failing to cooperate or obstruction, or something else. And while you in jail, continue to not say who you are or provide info on who you are. See how far you get.

So, lets understand your logic.
If Sheriff Joe violates the constitution and steals tax payer money it's ok but if Obama does it then it's somehow worse? Such a hypocritical mindset. Apaio would be the same exact type of president as Obama based off his record as a sheriff.
This shows that you all could careless about the constitution or being corrupt as long as it suits your agenda.
