Mr. Compass said he was aware of the private guards, but that the police had no plans to make them give up their weapons.

Smart move Mr. Compass, especially since I doubt you could do it if you tried.

Boy, that photo tells the real story of "Be prepared or else".

Thanks for the ping!

This is pure city. The evacuation order is from the mayor, and it's the CITY police that are doing the confescating.

Of course, these people who are having their guns taken will own the city when this goes to court.

Our military has said they will not participate in any forced evacuation of American citizens from their homes. Of course, the NG is under the direction of the governor, so I don't know how they will escape, baring a huge outbreak of the runs due to the waters. A giant sick leave might work.

A.T.F. As seen earlier in this thread.
The 4433 forms are out there folks..

Idealy, insure the home and belongings so you can get out of Dodge during natural disasters without too much financial concern.

Take your 'tools' with you!

Damn... I was KIDDING the other day when I said they might as well call in the DEA. Now they've actually done it? This is not good.

In later posts I mentioned that the best thing these LEO's could do with such people is to organize them into armed neighborhood watches in the relatively undamaged areas that they are finding them and thereby free up more of their own resources. These folks would probably do it in an instant.

"You folks need to leave the area?"

"Nope"

"Raise your right hands and repeat after me: 'We're Deputies'"

"We're Deputies"

"You're Deputies"

this way they go around the posse comitats act, by using civil law enforcement

It's unique, Louisiana has always been under Napoleonic Law.

Since the Louisiana purchase, the area has been under US Constitutional law.

That's when Federal Law is applied. State law is still Napoleonic. It was one reason when I was applying to law schools that I omitted Tulane University.

Unlike the rest of the country, state law in Louisiana is based on the Napoleonic Code, inherited from its time as a French colony. Puerto Rico is also a civil law jurisdiction.

However, the criminal law of both jurisdictions has been necessarily modified by common law influences and the supremacy of the federal Constitution.

Louisiana law is subordinate to the US Constitution. -- As are the laws of every state in the union. Every official in every state swears an oath to that effect, just as you did as member of the bar. Correct?
