[QUOTE="SMS, post: 2034939, member: 42"] It's not "top down", it's roles and responsibilities. It a sheriff's job to enforce the law, not interpret it based on his own opinions or sense of "constitutionality". There are no comprehensive "powers of the county sheriff". Every state has different constructs for it's sheriffs. In Oklahoma they are an extension of the courts and act on the authority of the courts. Tell me what exactly your mythical Sheriff can and will do if the local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies, backed by courts and D.A.s say or do something the sheriff disagrees with. Refuse to act? Sure that's an option, but other LEOs can and will be called in to do the work. Resist with force? Sure, but they won't do it, and if they did they would die or end up in jail. I doubt any of your hero-sheriffs would actually take it to that level....they don't have too, they are getting rich selling books and getting paid to speak. [/QUOTE]
