I'd agree on any single traffic stop, but I don't think it's that clear if people aren't detained over a series of traffic stops.
Look at it this way. If there was similar statute for full enforcement of federal anti-discrimination laws don't you think there would be people suing just to force a maximalist stance by local law enforcement?
