Prove me wrong, show me a time a state employee made the FBI stand down, I’ll wait
“Prove me wrong, show me a time a state employee made the FBI stand down, I’ll wait”
Well, keep waiting, Stupid. It’s not like there is some kind of list out there. Your assumption that the FBI wins every time is childish just on its face.
I can immediately oblige.
I was a New York Guard MP (to be distinguised from the New York NATIONAL Guard, we were state, not Fed).
During my training during AIT, we had a police chief give us liasion instructions. We would liason with local police during any State-level Emergency.
He explained something about LEO juresdiction: The broader the area, the thinner the authority. A city cop had more authority than a county cop. A county cop had more authority than a state cop. And a state cop had more authority than a federal cop (FBI).
Only when the federal cop 'took over' an investigation, would this widely-respected pecking-order be violated. I personally saw when a city cop would override the wishes of a state and a federal cop.
