There is no Constitutional or moral grounds for making any such distinction.

States and municipalities don't have any grounds to grant authority to enforce laws?  Where's that in The Constitution?  I'm pretty sure the Tenth grants that authority.

Of course States have the power to enforce the laws--but they are Constitutionally prohibited from violating anyone's rights in the process. Just because they are enforcing the rules gives them no license to disobey them themselves.
