I'm one to say that I think the law will definitely lead to an increase in racial profiling. Why? Because of the very fact that you mention: the law does not state what criteria the police should use to determine suspicion. Theoretically, the police are supposed to be undergoing training to learn just that, but like you said, no one's been able to come up with a satisfactory answer.
I'm silently both cheering and disappointed in the Arizona boycotts. I agree with them. And I dearly hope they work in making Brewer back down or, at least, thoroughly amend the law. I'm scared, though, what the boycotts will do to our already struggling state budget.
I hope something comes of Brewer's meeting with Obama today.
