[QUOTE="Werewolf, post: 1936719, member: 239"] To the best of my knowledge a citizen's only legal recourse in the event that a government agency or agent fails to perform their duty as prescribed by law is to go to court and get a writ of mandamus. The writ orders the agent or agency to do what the law says they must do. Failure to comply is contempt of court. [SIZE=4][URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandamus"]Writ of Mandamus[/URL] [SIZE=2]I remember reading about this being done in NY against a Sheriff about 10 years back. The writ was issued, the Sheriff basically thumbed his nose at the court and that was the end of that.[/SIZE][/SIZE] One imagines that exactly the same thing would happen in Oklahoma. [/QUOTE]
