Good luck with that. I would not trust some local deputies ( or the Sheriff ) as far as I could throw them when to comes to large scale investigations of local prominent citizens or issues with national security secrets.
I particularly like the quote from the pre-linked article, "The court decision was the result of a suit against both the BATF and the IRS by Mattis and other members of the Wyoming Sheriffs Association. The suit in the Wyoming federal court district sought restoration of the protections enshrined in the United States Constitution and the Wyoming Constitution. Guess what? The District Court ruled in favor of the sheriffs. In fact, they stated, Wyoming is a sovereign state and the duly elected sheriff of a county is the highest law enforcement official within a county and has law enforcement powers exceeding that of any other state or federal official.
Go back and re-read this quote. fii ffndaid
