A national group of sheriffs that claims the top law enforcers in American counties are not bound by federal law has successfully spread its doctrine to dozens of states in recent years.

Cops: we don't get to pick and choose what laws we enforce.
Also cops:
The group, known as CSPOA, teaches that elected sheriffs must “protect their citizens from the overreach of an out-of-control federal government” by refusing to enforce any law they deem unconstitutional or “unjust.”
“The safest way to actually achieve that is to have local law enforcement understand that they have no obligation to enforce such laws,” Mack said in an interview. “They’re not laws at all anyway. If they’re unjust laws, they are laws of tyranny.”
Not like that
Well, yeah. Local sheriffs aren't obligated to enforce federal law. That's the federal government's job. This has already been well established in the matters of sanctuary cities and cannabis legalization.
Pretty daft of these sheriffs to try to get the people they're “protecting” killed by bullets and viruses, but that's what those folks voted for. 🤷♂️
