Sheriff's Authority - Real? or hopeful?

Inigoes said:

The reality is the other law enforcement entities want to usurp the sheriffs power and try to claim the title of top dog (the chief LEO).

They can't constitutionally. All need the Sheriff's consent to operate within the sheriff's jurisdiction. There are inter agency agreements made long ago, that people forget about.

What of this news of Sheriff's being the primary LEO and saying they intend to defend our constitutional rights.??.

I support them in spirit and intent but have also been doing a bit of research on the legal side of it, the historical comparisons, and human nature aspects -and looking at the reality of our mostly zombie culture. I'm thrilled to have their promise of support and give them support but I agree with many commentaries that it does not look good for us being able vote our way out of this trend into tyranny.

What do you say about the reality of the Sheriffs stated positions?

Take a look at this map. What you have said is a common talking point of the left. The blue states provide more federal revenue and the red states take more of that revenue. Thing is, I think the money might be moving out away from the traditionally blue states. New York State is seeing a loss of about 30% of its revenue this year because the big money makers are leaving the state.

Maryland isn't fairing much better.

Then, you also have to take into account how state and local taxes play a part in all of this. Maryland's state and local income tax rate is between 8 and 9%. New York State is around 12%.



I think the data needs to be delved into a little further as to which states are receiving federal money. For instance, under the old tax code, the federal government was actually subsidizing blue states with the state and local income tax deduction. People in those states actually received a deduction for what they paid in state and local income taxes, and the deductions were huge. Now that it has been limited to $10,000, people in Maryland, New York, New Jersey, California, etc. are really feeling it. Those states are feeling it too with the amount of money leaving the state.

We can talk more about this in person when it is easier to provide examples wherein somebody is making $1,000,000+ and how much more tax sense it makes nowadays to relocate to Florida, Wyoming, Alaska, etc.

Take a look at www.carrollcountymd.gov. Under the 2A heading it clearly states that Carroll County is a sanctuary county in the communist state of Maryland when it comes to the 2nd amendment. Gotta love it!

Hmmm get the counties in the western part of MD to do the same thing that CC did and im sure some eastern shore counties would do the same as well and present it to the MGA and tell them to go pound sand.. Question here can the local Sheriff restrict the MSP of police powers in their counties? and or if a person is caring a firearms for self defense do they have the discretion not to arrest the person for not having a permission slip from said mga via msp for their failure to obey the US Constitution and start arresting MSP officers for violating a person's civil rights where MGA would have to take notice if 7 or 8 counties started to arrest MSP officers and or their chain of command?

Hey one can dream and or hope but it would take some work for the western counties and the ones on the eastern shore, a couple come to mind especially the one with Sheriff Mike in it and or hmm i just thought of something, those demorats in the mga who want to take away our rights , well what if they made a reservation in OC and the hotel and or motel refused them a room due to the way they voted to strip us the oversight of msa.. I know that will never happen but hey if we get the word out who knows???
