The DA needs to forcefully remind the Sheriff's Office by failing to forward the offense report they are hindering the prosecution and jeapardizing of the defendant's constitutional right to a 'speedy trial.' Perhaps the Sheriff is still investigating the reported offense. Why don't you call the SO and ask?
Any police officer or sheriff.
Technically, the police would have violated NO laws. There is jurisdictional duties and "police" fall under the guidelines of "Peace Officer", and not "sheriff". A sheriff is an elected representative who is obligated to enforce the laws and protect his district. But a peace officer has the same rights and obligations as any citizen. People forget that fact until the courts. But for the last few years, the public has assumed based on misleading media that our police are required to protect. But any citizen who refuses to arrest a known felon IS breaking laws. If an "officer" refuses to arrest a criminal. He is Not in violation of any duties or laws of any states. BUT, he would be obligated to arrest someone known to have commited a felony. And even if the act was commited in his presence, he wouldn't be required to make an immediate arrest if it would harm others. (If he knows the hangouts or home address or workplace of a criminal, he can gain a warrant and make the arrest there or any safe place.) A deputy is just the same as a sheriff when it comes to enforcements, but the sheriff has the highest power in the state. Note the "sheriff" is not the deputy sheriff. Those are just citezens whom the sheriff endoreses or proclaims to officiate the duties of a "sheriff". These days the elected sheriff seems to run an office, and just run policy. But the office of sheriff was originally to lead by example. And make sure his city was safe.
When a warrant of arrest is executed outside the district in which it was issued, the person arrested shall, unless the court which issued the warrant is within thirty kilometers of the place of arrest or is nearer than the Executive Magistrate or District Superintendent of Police or Commissioner of Police within the local limits of whose jurisdiction the arrest was made, or unless security is taken under section 71, be taken before such Magistrate or District Superintendent or Commissioner.
This can be argued since the introduction of the F.B.I. The F.B.I. was introduced around (1908) to deal with national crime as a national police force (per se), the problem is that the U.S. Marshals existed by Congressional action in 1789 and has served in that position for far longer and with the same goals (a lot of argument still exists over these issues). Depending on which side of this debate your on, then: John Clark, director of the United States Marshal's service or Robert S. Mueller, III, director of the F.B.I.
sheriff is like the police thing sheriff is like the police thing
No, that could be construed as bribery. The only money that can change hands with the police officer at the time of arrest is bond.
The government.Additional: The 'police" (incl. all law enforcement) are part of the Executive Branch of Government. They are under the nominal administrative guidance of a Chief of Police - Sheriff - Superintendent of Police - whatever - who receive their Administrative guidance from the elected Executive - Mayor - County Commissioner - Sheriff - etc, who are subject to the leadership of the elected members of the Legislative Branch.
A person can receive a pardon from the Governor and his right will be reinstated. But a police check will always show the arrest and conviction.
The police do not file indictments. They apply for and/or receive the warrant, arrest you, and present you to the prosecutor and court - usually, by law, within 72 hours after arrest. After that it becomes the courts responsbility to move the case forward.
