Detenciones ilegales para contratar pasajeros en Arizona

Explicación Simple

No puedes parar tu auto en la calle para recoger personas que busquen trabajo si eso bloquea el tráfico. Además, si no tienes permiso para trabajar en EE. UU., no puedes buscar trabajo en lugares públicos.

Es como si estuvieras en una cocina muy pequeña y todos intentan pasar al mismo tiempo. Si alguien se detiene para cocinar en la entrada, nadie puede pasar y eso causa un lío.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan está conduciendo por una calle de Phoenix y ve a varios hombres esperando trabajo. Si él se detiene en medio de la calle para recoger a uno de ellos y bloquea el tráfico, podría meterse en problemas con la ley.
