[QUOTE="SMS, post: 2034999, member: 42"] Not getting it. I'm saying you are putting far too much faith into what is essentially just another elected official in the county structure. The "Sheriff" has no more authority or power than any other elected official in the county. To expect more is foolish. Can you show me, in state or county statute, where the county sheriff is empowered to be the final arbiter of all constitutional issues? What Oklahoma statutes give a sheriff the authority to stand against a court order and prevent other LEOs from performing a court ordered action? What law allows a sheriff to decide what he will or will not do? Specifics, not platitudes, please. That's a serious question, I've been trying to find the legal basis for a sheriff's authority [I]in our state's laws [/I]and can't find much beyond 19-516 etc... [/QUOTE]
