In NJ, at least, but probably in most states, the constable merely delivers the levy papers to a financial institution in order to levey on a bank account or can take into his control physical assets; but he has no power to turn any assets over to the judgment lien holder. The constable levies on assets so that they are frozen for a short period of time so that the owner can apply to the court to object to the levy for whatever reason there may be. If no objection is made in time, or if the court rules that the objection is invalid, the financial institution turns the money over to either the constable or the judgment ccreditor directly. In cases of physical assets, again if there is no objection or the court denies the objection, he may sell or turn the assets over to the judgment creditor.

"friendship has a greater force over authority in the situation where the authority does not deserve inspects"
The difference would lie first and foremost on location/jurisdiction. Depending on the state's constitution, the constable would have the same power/authority as a sheriff including appointing deputies. The main difference between the two however is in the way they earn their wages. Sheriffs are salaried offices paid by taxpayer money whereas constables are paid by fees set by statute. Also, the authority of the constable is greatly dictated by the commissioning body (if appointed) or by the general statutes, if elected.
