State and local resistance to the detention provisions contained in the National Defense Authorization Act continues to grow, rapidly emerging as a nationwide movement.
The Tennessee legislature will consider HB1629 and SB2669 in the 2012 session. The legislation would effectively nullify the detention provisions in the NDAA and would also require federal agents making an arrest in the Volunteer State for any reason to first obtain written permission from the county sheriff.
This bill declares that any federal law purporting to require local or state law enforcement agencies to act at the direction of the federal government or the United States military is beyond the authority granted to the federal government pursuant to the United States Constitution, is not recognized by this state, is specifically rejected by this state and is declared to be invalid in this state.

Well, I wish TN the best of luck in this, but the feds will just go and ignore it.
We have 95 sheriffs in Tennessee. If this passes, I am sure at least a few will do the right thing.
This is far more complex and powerful than you are making out to be.
Bottom lines have... consequences... that not even the Feds want to pay.
Did you ever think that certain Feds might actually be behind this TN law, so that they can use it for legal wrangling, rather than having to actually act under the NDAA?
Wheels within wheels..
Ping
Gee it’s good to see you posting, Gal!
Excellent, I would hope these bills will pass in TN and this is just a start and many states will follow.
Thanks for the ping, girl.
The Feds may be trying to “Federalize” all law enforcement across the nation so this bill would kind of moot anyway.
The Feds create task forces all the time that include local LEOs who are in the best position to provide timely intel on criminal activity in their areas of responsibility.
And worst comes to worst, (praying it doesn’t) the feds will just go and seize their target, local cops be damned.
The Feds have a huge media resource team in place, most police agencies run and hide from the media. So the Fed can spin it up anyway they have to.
I hope Georgia is watching this. We need to do the same thing.
This is a pretty good idea, and I’d like to see these charges pursued with the same vigor as the existing kidnapping laws. Federal agents that run afoul of this should be arrested, jailed, made to post bail for their freedom (funds from their employer should be refused because that’s us) and eventually made to serve time at a max facility.
Just like any other kidnapper.
Is that your final answer? Surrender?
Surrender?
Don, I have been on these task forces and when that beast wants to do something, precious little gets in the way and almost always they have the full backing of any and all local government entities. And with the military in the mix now, providing possible logistical, material and intelligence support? A fellow needs to think three times before he goes bucking up against that. That is not hill I am in a hurry to die on and I encourage others to be tactful and tactical as well.
The trick is for states not to allow the fed to subsidize, subvert, or suborn their organic law enforcement agencies and that is hard, because the fed can get capricious and curtail other federal spending in order to get compliance.
If the fed cannot clearly and distinctly show that their target(s) is an immediate danger or a substantial supporter of a national terror threat group, then the state should have the ability to opt out of any operation. It should be kept in the loop, which I think that it would be, or legislators or going to have a field day with the next appropriations hearings.
Citizens have to get involved and absent appealing it, watchdog this NDAA legislation if it steps outside the bounds of capturing terrorists or their abettors.
What is scaring some is that “terrorist” may not be so clearly defined enough for them.
State legislators should demand a clear definition since we are in effect talk about seizing to what amounts to an American citizen.
One thing that can be done to assuage concerns is to disavow the 2009 MIAC report, and make a public and nation wide apology. That makes a whole lot of people, including me, appear to be potential terrorists.
It’s good to be posting again. I miss my buddies on here.
You better be afraid (LOL). Be VERY afraid. Tell the trout up there in the South Holston I’ll be back someday.
Yes I am writing/publishing a lot now. I took care of Wayne and Mom a couple of years and got out of it, but I am catching up now. I am also enjoying it. I’ll ping you when I post my articles.
