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.
