Do a FOIA request to find out if they have a Memorandum of Agreement between the Post Office and PD. (Ya know, you could do a Google Maps look up and see what the post office looks like. If its an old one, one that looks like it was built before 1940, that's a building owned by the federal gov't. AND unlikely they have the MOA between post office and PD. Then, before you drive there, do a FOIA request and confirm there's no MOA. (Bring the reply) and when the PD tries to run you out, put it in their face that they have no jurisdiction and can't bring firearms. In the military officers are LT, Captain, Major and the like. They are not SGT or privates. Patrolmen are the lowest rung at the PD. My point is they are not Officers. If the rest of the department behaves under military like order, then its a contradiction to call the patrolmen, officers. So, as far as I am concerned, they are Mr. Not Officer. Always interesting now, one camera equals 4+ armed Mr or Ms. But that's good. Because the more that show up, the less are out their extorting money as Road Pirates from citizens. So, the more that show up, the safer the citizens are. Let's not forget that.

If I understand you correctly - one must have a contractual agreement to have jurisdictional leo authority. Without it, only fps can have said jurisdiction. Do I understand this correctly?

@@davidgiles4681 This is what Poster 7 says. Down at the bottom there's a section about Penalties one property. Violations of the rules or regulations are to be heard in front of a district court or federal magistrate. (Not a city or county judge/court) The property, the building that were built before 1940 retains exclusive law enforcement to the Post Inspectors, not local PD. Local PD, according to the CFR are not permitted to bring guns on federal property. p) Penalties and other law. (1) Alleged violations of these rules and regulations are heard, and the penalties prescribed herein are imposed, either in a federal district court or by a federal magistrate in accordance with applicable court rules. Questions regarding such rules should be directed to the regional counsel for the region involved. And there's an enforcement section. (q) Enforcement: (1) Members of the U.S. Postal Service security force shall exercise the powers provided by 18 U.S.C. 3061(c)(2) and shall be responsible for enforcing the regulations in this section in a manner that will protect Postal Service property and persons thereon. (2) Local postmasters and installation heads may, pursuant to 40 U.S.C. 1315(d)(3) and with the approval of the chief postal inspector or his designee, enter into agreements with State and local enforcement agencies to ensure that these rules and regulations are enforced in a manner that will protect Postal Service property. (3) Postal Inspectors, Office of Inspector General Criminal Investigators, and other persons designated by the Chief Postal Inspector may likewise enforce regulations in this section. Watch some of the post office audits. You can tell most employees have been there years. Yet, the never even know Poster 7 exists. How is that possible? Especially supervisors? Heck, even fewer know they should have a law enforcement agreement with the local PD.

@obijuan- I know fed cops exist. I know uspo is a federal building. I have not read it as you have and thank you. Remember that you are talking about 65 iq persons with scotus qi. I doubt that they can read past- dick and Jane -. Sc - 12 weeks to become a cop. 108 weeks to become a paralegal. I had a graduation class of 200. The math means that 1800 cops were graduated at the same time 200 paralegals graduated. Who has qi? Not the paralegal. That is a 9 to 1 ratio. It even increases with doctors v cops. You and I actually can read the totality of the law. Cops only read enough to arrest. Magistrate judges in sc do not need to have any legal degree at all. You read that correctly. No legal degree at all to be the lowest form of judge in sc. You can beta street sweeper, get chosen, attend training, and be a Magistrate judge in sc.

@user-ey2yp8eo8d Год назад

It never ceases to amaze me how postal workers will insist, with maximum confidence, that you cannot film inside the post office. Obviously they have no idea whether that is true or not but they really believe it is. Makes you wonder why they wouldn't first go read poster 7 and see for themselves or call the post master and ask if photography is allowed. I guess their goal for the day was to make a complete fool of themselves on RU-vid. Mission Accomplished. Well done!!

@@baazinga13 That’s not correct. Are you familiar with the DHS memo? What about the first amendment, freedom of press? Long Island Audit was arrested for the same conduct in a USPS by local cops and easily beat his charges based on “subject matter jurisdiction”. The local cops who kidnapped him had no authority on the premises of a federal enclave. Asking a journalist to leave public property for no other reason than merely exercising their civil rights is discrimination and therefore, illegal. Also, a postal clerk, branch manager or other on-site staff member does not hold greater authority than the PM General, nor can they override federal statutes that govern conduct on USPS property. Areas that are open and accessible to the public remain such whether the patron holds a camera or not. Photography is not a crime.

The United States Postal Service (USPS) is a federal agency and its properties, including post offices, are considered federal property. As such, local police departments do not automatically have jurisdiction on USPS property in their town or city. However, they can exercise police powers on USPS property if they have a signed agreement with the USPS or if they are responding to an emergency on the property

@bpc610 Год назад

I find it strange that police will come at the beck and call for office workers. Then try to enforce the offices policies or feelings of the workers. And not charge the office/workers for wasting taxpayer funded emergency services? I don’t have a big fancy office but…. When my kids won’t eat their vegetables, leave lights on, or don’t go to bed on time - those are all rules/policies in my house. So can I call the police to come enforce those policies for me? If I leave the seat up, can my wife call the cops to come arrest me? Cuz that’s a really strict policy she has. *Oddly enough, despite it being a genuine ‘call for service’, I’m betting we’d be charged with misuse of emergency services?
