One of my favorite quotes come to mind: "Some people were dropped as a baby...I think you were thrown at the wall!"
"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther

I think the person's actions constitute reasonable cause to detain/question them both in regards to their actions and to why they did not use the public restroom. Exploring the possibility that the person is an illegal alien would be consistent with a reasonable line(s) of questioning.
I don't think that anyone on here is anti-Hispanic, just anti-Illegal Hispanic and anti-Illegal ( insert Nationality here).
I personally know and like many Hispanic people, always have, probably always will. Some get carried away but even they, as far as I know, are only anti-illegals.
And some people just want to automatically categorize and label people without giving deeper thought to anything. (Not talking about you Nmysys)
