What a ridiculous comment. You get the tagline hilariously wrong and your example is someone committing a non violent crime that the federal government handles anyway? How many strawmen are you going to use? Do an ounce of research into the existing programs and ideas.

Are you saying that people suspected of counterfeiting should not be arrested? Or do you believe it's fine to arrest them, as long as the arrest is performed by federal employees rather than city employees? If so, why is that supposed to make a difference? >Do an ounce of research into the existing programs and ideas. If you make a claim the burden of proof is on you to support it.
