The county sheriff is the most powerful law enforcement entity in the county, no matter who else is there. He can arrest State Police, FBI, any and all. No one is more powerful in the law enforcement community than a sheriff. Political machinations make it easier for sheriff's to go along to get along, but legally, no agency can usurp or avoid his authority. Most sheriffs do not know this and most of those that do, have not the courage to stand against state and federal agencies. Which if one thinks about it, is understandable since the courts are for sale.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34529754.post-56943974663355317662007-04-24T16:13:00.000-05:002007-04-24T16:13:00.000-05:00Yay for Pike County!!

My hometown of New Salem, in Pike County, has 74 FOID holders ... out of 150 residents!<BR/><BR/>How I do love to see the words "Pike County" and "Rebellion" in the same sentence!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
