IANAL so I don't quite understand why would be a state law (Oregon in this case) applicable to federal agents executing the federal law. Seeing that internet is full of pictures of federal agents with "police" insignia (usually together with the agency name, but not always) it appears that the federal law allows this type of identification and, because of the Supremacy Clause, the state law has no effect. Am I missing something here?
