If what you’re saying is factual, and I do not doubt it, the situation only exists because you don’t have a constitutional sheriff who will exert his elected authority.

What you’re posting is an order of authority as established by whom?

The US Supreme Court has ruled in numerous cases that the county sheriff is a sovereign. That means that the sheriff is NOT a stooge who carries out the commands of some unelected state bureaucrat or an elected state or federal politician.

I hope you understand this important distinction between what some political hack claims vs the sheriff’s sovereign and constitutional authority.

I’m only telling you about two states I am extremely familiar with. In PA the Sheriff has no real authority. His deputies ONLY take care of the jails, writs, warrants and MAY write tickets (but they damned better well know what they are doing). In Ohio, the sheriff can Deputize town cops and take them on raids WELL out of the cop’s jurisdiction (remember Patty Hearst? I was in on that search because she supposedly passed through our county. 200 miles later I was laying in the bushes looking at some farmhouse). In Ohio, the coroner can take ANY sworn officer and make him do anything he wants to, as long as it is legal, lawful and pertains to a crime.
