re: #96 Rightwingconspirator

Okay. My point is anyone in the house fearful of the cops for legal reasons from a speeding ticket long unpaid, to an undocumented immigrant to a felon puts the household in the same jam. They can not call the police.

But what is wrong with a law enforcer enforcing the law? If a local cop is sees a crime in a National Park while driving through (Federal laws applies there) he can and will make the arrest. He may then hand the crook over to the Park Police. I think tribal reservation lands are the only place police officers actually lose jurisdiction in their own states. Caveat-I think so , from my recollection of study long ago. Love to see the statute that say otherwise.

I’m not a lawyer, but I’ve been reading about this stuff for a couple of years. It took a new federal law to allow sheriffs near the border to help each other across county lines. I think rules of jurisdiction are much more complicated than you realize. Certainly it’s not just intuitive.
