Own of the great things about local multi-jurisdictional police enforcement is that it's difficult to control. The County Sheriff could be a Democrat and the local Mayor a Republican. Then you have State cops.
The whole thing works to make tyranny more difficult. There are just too many independent enforcement officials who report to the local citizenry instead of to Washington.
I would say that this bill is unconstitutional. It gets the CIA involved into enforcement of local laws. It's horse-shit!!!!!
If they want to be serious, they could delegate certain authorities to state police departments. By delegation, I mean empowerment. For example, state police could be empowered to track down illegal aliens who have overstayed their Visas. The level of enforcement would be up to the state in question.
But no federal agency has any business WHATSOEVER being involved in municipal and county (or parish) police departments.
