What are the Federal Police Doing in America
« on: February 10, 2012, 10:48:30 AM »
 >:( Wed. we were heading south in the Big Horn Basin toward the little town of Thermopolis, Wy..It was along about 5 in the evening, when I noticed a vehicle behind me..right away I pegged it as a law enforcement vehicle...I figured it was either a county officer or maybe a BLM Ranger...when it got close enough I could see it was a U. S. Govt. plate so I figure it is the BLM....When it passed, I checked it out..on the side it had written STAY BACK..and some other stuff I didn't get read because it caught me so off guard..As it went on down the road, in the back window it had written FEDERAL POLICE >:(  Who are these....... Federal cops????What are they up to...what is their job...???More enemies of free people is how I see them.. I see federal plates all the time here in Wy.  It was the first time I spotted this crew...there was another unmarked car following it...We stopped at a little joint for supper, and stayed in Thermop...Never saw them again on the way home...Anyone else run into this bunch...

There are actually quite a few federal law enforcement agencies, but I have never heard of one called "Federal Police" :-\

Gonna have to google this one! ???

Nope! Couldn't find one. Discovered, as I already know  ;) , that many federal agencies employ police officers, no agency appears to be defined defined as "Federal Police".

But then google is not the end all / be all of information sources. :o

Federal Marshalls escort all nuclear weapons movements in the US, Wyoming has an Air Force ICBM base in it, that's one possibility.

What are the Federal Police Doing in America

One of them recently assaulted some poor guy for walking his dogs off-leash, and - apparently? - not kowtowing quickly enough.

But then google is not the end all / be all of information sources. :o
Legally, the Federal government nor any of it's agencies employ "Police Officers".  They employ  "agents" or "officers" that have the powers of "Police Officers", their "legal" status as a "Police Officer" in your state is covered by state law.

"Federal Police" officers are the old Federal Protective Officers, they are responsible for securing Federal property and office buildings.  If you go to any location that has a large Federal building, you will see these guys patrolling the premises.

You guys should really get out more. ;)

YT3...Walking dogs improperly and off leashes is a very serious offense as you know....and often indicates one may be a suspicious terrorists or moosilim, a hater,  or somethin... b/c believing in freedom for your dogs might indicate you also believe in freedom for Citizens....

Almost as serious as claiming to be an officer in the military, when a person never was even in the military.
b/c believing in freedom to constantly post lies might indicate you also believe in lying to achieve  political ends at any costs.

Nope! Right here on my government ID, form 001406, it says "police officer". However I do NOT work for an agency called "Federal Police"

In many cases the feds are unmarked. Most I have seen that are marked as FED Police are contractors. In other words say the fellows that guard the nuclear plants, dams, missile sites and federal buildings. They are granted federal arrest powers, but are usually not fed employees. Pinkerton, Wakenhut or one of the other major security firms usually employ them outright or get an eskimo tribe or other minority orginization to employ them on paper. Most of the more obscure fed agencies will put what they are, such as TVA Police, US Parks Police, Library of Congress Police and so on, instead of fed police. Some of them have changed from police to protective services now to be less intrusive sounding. There are most likely a hundred or more fed policing agencies that we don't even know about.

there was 4 ornery looking federal cops in dunkin donut this morning.
they were in white vans with blue/red light bars, the doors said US government with a badge emblem
and the words "field operations" in big letters on the side.  they ordered their stuff and then just stood there and stared at the customers and blocked other customers from getting to the counter.

in contrast, local cops that come are always friendly and talkative and get out of the way after they put in their order.

anyone familiar with those?

lol, these were very large men in black battle fatigue type uniforms, with gold badge emblem on their jackets, jack boots and guns with all the usual cop stuff on their belts.
I had the creepy feeling that if they knew I was armed, they'd have me on the floor.

The name or acronym of the agency was on the badge if they were Federal; FBI, ICE, CBP, BP, TSA, FPS, etc, they all ID themselves with their badge.

;D ;D ;D You and I and quite a few other posters saw that post.  Just because it was deleted doesn't mean that you didn't post it.  I would suppose that You finally found out it was against the law to claim to be a military officer.   I guess that what you do, deny, deny, deny, especially when you get caught.   ;D ;D ;D
I don't have to make up anything like you do.  I do suggest that you follow your own advice, and get some serious help.

In answer to your question regarding why?  It's like I said;

Don't tell me no lies, and I won't ask you any questions!
So what's up with that?

according to google, it was, customs and border protection.  I don't know what VA cops are called.
I've always used private doctors.

That makes sense, CBP sure is an eating crowd, I would expect them to descend on a Dunkin Donuts and leave it in ruin upon departure.  Only group of LE that it would be worse to be trapped in Donner Pass with winter setting in is the BoP guys, those prison guards would eat a dead horse!
