As a fake lawyer, I would also love to know if this applies to military convictions.
What other places outside of DC does federal law apply to?
(without the need for it to be interstate or some other such clause that is normally required for federal statutes to apply)
Can the president pardon crimes on reservations?
- torstenvl 3y agoIt does not apply to military convictions. Very frustrating.
- est31 3y ago> What other places outside of DC does federal law apply to? In theory, anything owned by the federal government is under federal law. This means federal court houses, branches of the fed, federal waters (anything above 3 geographical miles from shore), national parks, etc. Sometimes law enforcement is delegated to state local authorities though.
- hx8 3y agoI am also a fake lawyer. Even in legal states, you can get a simple possession charge on federal land [0]. [0] https://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/olympic/news-events/?cid=STELPRDB5411797 https://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/olympic/news-events/?cid=STEL...
- qingcharles 3y agoThank you. I think this rule applies inside federal buildings on state land too?
- torstenvl 3y agoIt depends on the statutory scheme for the acquisition of the federal land. In some cases the federal government has exclusive jurisdiction, in some cases concurrent, and in some it only has a proprietary interest (i.e., the federal government is the landowner but the state has legal jurisdiction).
- hx8 3y agoI'm curious if there are standard rules for post offices.
- throwup238 3y agoThe Federal government took exclusive jurisdiction over post offices in the 1940s.
