6. my thinkin' on the matter:

(lawyers may point out flaws in my knowledge/logic/etc)

yes local law enforcement CAN enforce laws/arrest feds…dui/speeding/breaking&entering etc

they can’t go around breaking laws just because of the office their checks come from.

so some might say “well, they are doing official duties…locals can’t stop that”

yeah, probably…but that would require that they are identified as being feds…badges w/ identifying numbers, names, etc.

otherwise, how would the locals know they were feds? in any OTHER situation, ID is like crack-laced-with-heroin-laced-with-acid to cops…gotta gotta gotta have it! whether required or not! gotta have it! jaywalking? ID. noise complaint? ID. don’t like the way they were looked at? ID. merely walking? ID.

so c’mon…tell me again why locals can’t ID those feds.
