Big deal. Sheriffs in PA don't have any real power. They function as an arm of the govt' to serve official notices and to shuffle prisoners around. Every jurisdiction has an official police force to handle arrests and legal violations.

It is a big deal:

The office of sheriff has a long and noble history. It dates back over a thousand years and originated in England. The sheriff is the only elected law enforcement official in America. He is the last line of defense for his citizens. He is the people's protector. He is the keeper of the peace, he is the guardian of liberty and the protector of rights. A vast majority of sheriffs will agree with all of this until they are asked to apply these principles of protection to federal criminals. Their backpeddling and excuses will be more plentiful than radar tickets and louder than sirens at doughnut time. Most of the unbelievers, who themselves have taken a solemn oath to "uphold and defend" the U S Constitution, will passionately and even apologetically exclaim that they have no authority or jurisdiction to tell federal agents to do anything, let alone stop them from victimizing local citizens. The truth and stark reality is that it's just the opposite; the sheriff has ultimate authority and law enforcement power within his jurisdiction. He is to protect and defend his citizens from all enemies, both "foreign and domestic."

Much more at: Constitutional Law Enforcement Association
(You need to ZOOM in a few times to read it though, for some reason they use much too small of a font.)

There are other resources available, all should check them out. Constitutional Sheriffs are very important as a last line of defense. I was not surprised to see an article like this as I have been waiting for them to begin to move against Sheriffs. BTW, I had two rather lengthy face to face discussions with Sheriff Mack on this very issues over the past few years, he is serious about this movement. (Here is another resource with a lot of letters, videos, and commentary from these Sheriffs: Constitutional Sheriffs

Thanks for the links.

Here's the person who first made me aware of the power of the Sheriff's Office:

Oh, good, FP123, I was trying to remember where I had read this, and you came up with it.

If this is true, it makes sense that the 0 adminstration would want to move against sheriffs. And, I put little biden into that group.
