It was on County Fairground lands, not Forest Service. Forest Service LEO has no jurisdiction outside National Forest land.
I'm sorry, that just makes me laugh harder. For the rest of us peons, citing lack of jurisdiction during a street interaction with a deputy sheriff, in order to defy a specific command, is a guaranteed face-first body slam into the pavement - and if pursued, a bullet.
And that's if you're right about the lack of jurisdiction. If you're wrong, you just get the bullet.
:shrug: Like I said, sucks for them to find out what their own tactics feel like - big eye opener.
