[QUOTE="mugsy, post: 2204632, member: 18914"] Sigh... This DoD Instruction repeatedly references legal limits upon what actions and/or under what circumstances military forces may interact with civilian law enforcement. In fact, it seems to me that it was written to be very respectful of the restrictions which must be observed (including detailing the 2 year jail term possible for violating such limits) whenever the military is used in support of civilian law enforcement activity. The DoDI does have a paragraph that basically allows, under very limited circumstances, military commanders to establish control of an area given in case of an emergency, when out of communications, and in dire need (all have to apply not just one) - bringing to mind when San Francisco was basically under practical, if not formal, martial law after the great earthquake of 1906 for a short while. However, if one actually reads the document you will see that it spends more time outlining restrictions and what may not be done than what is permissible - I would think that that type of emphasis would make folks more, not less, secure feeling.
