How may I help you"<br /><br />Officer: "This is Officer Smith of the Tempe, Arizona PD"<br /><br />FBI: "Yes, Officer Smith, how can we help you today?"<br /><br />Officer: "I just wanted to check with the FBI. Isn't bank robbery a federal crime?"<br /><br />FBI: "Why yes, Officer Smith, it is."<br /><br />FBI: "Well then, I think I should tell you that the First National Bank of Tempe has just been robbed and you need to get your guys down here."<br /><br />FBI: "Understood, Officer Smith. Can you tell me how your department is persuing the robbers and what information you currently have on the investigation of the robbery?"<br /><br />Officer: "Oh, we're not persuing the robbers and there is no current investigation being done in our department. The 9th Circus Court of Appeals has ruled that local Arizona LEs are not to interfer in crimes that are strictly the purview of the federal government. I just wanted to let you know the bank was robbed but our department will not be assisting you in any way. We do not intend to "interfer with the federal government's authority to implement its priorities and stratagies in law enforcement." We will simply give you information via your tip line. Good luck to your agents, and have a nice day. Goodby."<br /><br />If the 9th Circus rules, and it is upheld, that local and state LE cannot interfer with the enfocement of crimes that are considered to be the strick purview of the federal government, how can they force Arizona, or any other state for that matter, to enforce other crimes outside the jurisdiction of the state?retire05https://www.blogger.com/profile/04192090871824415437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-25713889565050998392011-04-12T09:30:14.555-04:002011-04-12T09:30:14.555-04:00@DinoRM - not sure, it works for me.@DinoRM - not sure, it works for me.William A.

Any state or local law enforcement activity of anything that is primarily the domain of the federal government (as in anything based on commerce clause jurisprudence) should be equally unconstitutional.
