“Other places like New York and parts of Colorado, the sheriff isn’t even an elected official.”
Where do you get your information? You have been misinformed.
I live in NY. Our County Sheriff is an elected official. He is the head of the County Sheriff Department which is our primary law enforcement agency. He is the top law enforcement officer in the county.
His role is most certainly not “largely ceremonial”.
My bad. It’s honestly a typo. I meant to type New York City. If you have doubts about the NYC sheriff, look it up.
Correct
And as such, any Federal law enforcement activity in his county had to have his approval.
No one answer can fit all here. In some counties, the Sheriff is busy enough and doesn't need the distraction of worrying about Federal Agencies. Federal Agencies carry out law enforcement activities all the time without notifying a given County Sheriff. BUT, as chief law enforcement officer in the County, a Sheriff is within the law to demand that other law enforcement agencies have a search warrant if something about what they're doing is suspicious.
My belief also, is that if a Governor of a State has evidence of Federal malfeasance, he can withdraw the peace officer status of Federal officers in his State. You can see the problems with this though. If a search warrant is to be served, Deputy Sheriff's will have to serve it, thus dragging the local Sheriff's Department into cases in which they have no real interest.
Democrat Governors might revoke the peace officer status of Federal officers during a Republican administration, and Republican Governors might revoke the peace officer status of Federal officers of a Democrat Administration. Presently both sides generally leave well enough alone.
Correct
Incorrect. The sheriff is the highest elected official, chief law enforcement officer in the county in which he resides etc, etc, in those states where the state constitution declares it so. Some do, some don't. It is not uniform from state to state.
Thanks for the ping!
Totally off topic, but if a resident of NYC is a New Yorker, what do you call residents of the state who don’t reside in NYC?
Well ok. One size doesn’t fit all.

Pinging the Agenda21 folks!
This is about the FDA interference of Farmers selling fresh products directly to the public...and a local sheriff stood up to them.
For other information on this subject, I just received this email regarding the efforts of sheriffs on behalf of our Constitution:
Sheriff’s Stand To Help Save America - Following Our Founding Fathers:
Please consider donating $1.00 (more is better!) It would be ‘something’ to give encouragement to the courageous action of dedicated sheriffs who need to meet on Jan. 30, 2012 for the saving of America. With the betrayal of our federal government, if the military/police follow their orders...our sheriffs who stand with the constitution are a great hope for America. They need our support and prayers:

However, if you feel uncomfortable with sending any personal info over the net, I’m sure that you as a FReeper have other ways to support this worthy effort. Some of the sites give snail mail addresses for those who have the concern about using credit cards online, etc.
If you want to be on or off the Agenda 21 ping list, please notify me by Freepmail. It is a relatively low volume list in which we have been exploring the UN Agenda21 and related topics. We have collected our studies with threads, links, and discussions on the Agenda 21 thread which can be found here:

Federal law officers have zero power outside of federal territories and federally owned land which is why they always get atleast 1 local officer to accompany them on an arrest...
This sherrif is smart enough to know the law which is why the FDA backed down.
It doesn’t want people learning the law...
It was unfortunate the Rangers didn’t exercise their authority back in 1993 in the Waco-Branch Davidian debacle. Might have saved a lot of lives. Of course, Ann Richards was Governor then.
You are correct, the Sheriff is THE CHIEF LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER for his County (or Parish). As such he can tell the FBI to take a hike. He also has the authority to authorize (or veto) possession of Class III firearms by a private citizen w/in his domain. Class III being fully automatic firearms, short barreled shotguns and rifles, suppressors, and sundry "destructive devices". Make a friend in the Sheriff and you too can play with "big boy toys".
There are several legal ways around needing his sign off on your form 4 if he should prove reluctant to sign, however they will cost more then just the $200 excise tax.

or conspiracy.
Good for the Sheriff. Now they need to leave the legitimate Marijuana farms in California, Oregon, Washington, Hawaii, Nevada and Colorado alone!
“what do you call residents of the state who don’t reside in NYC?”
The smart ones.
Encouraging to see Sheriff Mack’s education of Sheriff’s across the country is taking hold.
Sheriff’s are the ultimate law in any county. They CAN, legally, Tell feds to get out...
We can help by getting Mack’s booklet that educates Sheriff’s on the law and the responsibility of local Sheriffs to stop the unlawful intrusion of the fed on it’s citizens.
This is how we restore State’s Right - which is a crucial part of restoring our rights.
Sheriff Mack was ordered by the feds to crack down on guns in his county - he fought them back - all the way to The Supreme Court - and WON,
get his booklet and hand deliver it to YOUR sheriff - that way, they will not be able to say they don’t know the law...
This harassment of small farmers unfortunately goes unnoticed by most Americans.
But it is the front line in the fight between an all powerful Big Government with its big business allies, versus the little people, regular Americans, who just want to be left alone to live their lives in peace.
It is these small battles that will determine whether we survive as a free people, or a controlled mass obedient to the likes of Barack Obama.
