Except a state law does and cannot force federal law enforcement to do anything, no matter how good of an idea body cameras may be.

- epwr 1y agoThat is not true. State laws cannot interfere with the work of federal law enforcement, but can require certain behaviours. Eg. States set speed limits. A federal LEO can break these when required for their duties (eg. chasing a suspect), but only when required (eg. if they are late for a meeting, they still have to obey traffic laws). Body cameras do not seem to directly interfere with an LEO’s duty, unless “avoiding accountability” is literally their duty.
- mikebonnell 1y agoBut is a federal judge ruling on federal agents, and in the case of the national guard seems to be under control of the state? https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/10/12406 https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/10/12406
- brendang_sd 1y agoI wasn't addressing the ruling by the judge, only the poster commenting on a state law, suggesting it's applicability here.
