What he FAILED to mention, but inadvertantly said when he said code enforcement agencies dont have arrest powers, was that police forces apply also in this case. Common law and Constitutional scholars know that only sheriffs have arrest powers as far as as a "force" is concerned. Police are included under the non arrest powers also. now, whats interesting about this case is, i wonder how this sheriff would react NOW if confronted with the fact that city commissioners cannot put together a standing army under color of law enforcing code violations and call them police. interesting article.

Would you copy/summarise the article for us here who are truly unable to register? namely me (grin)
heh
