The paper you say just say the law prohibits militias "from engaging in activities reserved for the state militia, including law enforcement activities. Some, including California, also prohibit paramilitary activity during or in furtherance of a civil disorder."
Then it goes on to cite the California misdemeanor for doing so, in state law.
Why would DoJ (feds) be investigating misdemeanor state law in California?
- lokar 5y agoI did not mean to imply they should. Rather to refute the common view that self organized private militias are allowed or even somehow encouraged and have some kind of official status.
- notch656a 5y agoThe source provided by throw0101a shows that 21 states allow organization of private military unit without any authorization of state government at all. The 'common view' that they are 'allowed' seems to be rooted in reality. https://www.law.georgetown.edu/icap/wp-content/uploads/sites/32/2018/04/Prohibiting-Private-Armies-at-Public-Rallies.pdf https://www.law.georgetown.edu/icap/wp-content/uploads/sites...
