Well, I wish TN the best of luck in this, but the feds will just go and ignore it.
Ping
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.
