I know in CA it is a violation of election law for an armed law enforcement officer to enter a vote center unless they are responding to an incident or there to vote.

- reactordev 4mo agoWhose gonna call the cops on the cops?
- laweijfmvo 4mo agoare the cops gonna do anything? just start a mini civil war in someone’s garage?

- kingleopold 4mo agoaka "who watches the watchmen?"
- reactordev 4mo agoExactly
- lokar 4mo agoDifferent cops. We had sheriff’s deputies out for some other issue, my impression was they took the law pretty seriously. They may not arrest them on the spot, but I think they would get ID and tell them to leave, and later file a report.
- iAMkenough 4mo agoUnfortunately due to chain of command, your good sheriffs deputies will be prevented from carrying out justice.
- lokar 4mo agoHow so? If some ICE agents show up the sheriff and state police can certainly deal with them.
- reactordev 4mo agoLike they did in Minneapolis? No, federal officers will always “out law” your local law enforcement.
- lokar 4mo agoThis situation there was very different
- lebuffon 4mo agoThat, in my opinion, is the question of the era for the USA. We were taught that the rule of law prevailed and there are "checks and balances" but it seems like there is no prescibed way to enforce the rules inside the system.
- nojvek 4mo agoUSA is trending towards right is might.
- jmclnx 4mo agoThese days, I would guess a "tsk-tsk" is said to them. The States need to grow a pair and start arresting these agents who break the law.
- 35fbe7d3d5b9 4mo ago“Grow a pair” presumes the state isn’t actively achieving its goals through these actions. It’s a big club, and we ain’t in it.
- JumpCrisscross 4mo ago> what are the consequences if they do it anyway? State AGs seem to have collectively shrugged. But theoretically, a state charging a federal officer with unlawful conduct is precedented.

- atomic_cowprod 4mo agoIt's illegal to do a lot of things that didn't actually happen.
- bluGill 4mo agoAre you sure about that? Things that didn't happen in the US but did happen in [insert corrupt any country] should be prevented. Even things that only happen in books/movies should still be prevented early just in case.
- tremon 4mo agoIt's also a violation of election law to administer a voting location in the nude.
- mindslight 4mo agoNot in Portland.
