I’m not a lawyer, but it is hard to tell from reading that if it means if you mark off one of the numbers it applies, or if you have to have 2 of 3 or what, but since it’s so vague, and most of the laws I’ve seen in that format if one point applies it all applies, I cannot in good faith argue that it won’t be used to target Hispanic people.
Point 2 specifies "and", but it's still super racist. Apparently white people who join street gangs and perform gang-related crimes aren't terrorists, only Hispanics are.
Right. That's the point. Keep the law vague for selective enforcement
