Just routine paperwork--whatever they do.

Do you think they will just let you go if you remind them that the Sheriff is the highest law enforcement power in the county, and if he has not power to arrest you, where do they get that power? They will just laugh at you.

Can you illustrate for us what we can say to a cop that has detained us that challenges his power to do so? Without suffering the consequences of 'contempt of police'?

Agreed. Try telling a cop he has no authority under Common Law, blah blah blah, to detain you or whatever else palani would say. Law enforcement has gone rogue and the judicial branch allows it. De facto practices rules the day, not some high brow rant that is true.
