...when I was an LEO in the 70s, we were taught that the Federal government could come in in an "emergency" and make all law enforcement federally authorized and controlled...and there were those of us THEN who said that we'd quit if that ever happened...there are still a lot who would...there are legal ways the feds can do it...but there will be more resistance than they've ever dreamed...some Americans will still die for their rights...and some feel like Patton...but I can't quote that here...'cause Patton talked nasty

I have heard of no law that would allow this, however that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. The last I went thru about civilian law enforcement was that there was no way to federalize them beyond what state law allowed. I would like to know where this law is just cause I am curious as to how to federalize a city or county LEO on a federal level, I know that they can be under federal coordination but not federalized to work in states outside of their own.
