Colorado, Senate Bill SB-13-013

This is crazy...what in the hell is Colorado thinking???

Meh, too much work.

Next thread.

"The bill gives a special agent, uniform division officer, physical security technician, physical security specialist, or special officer of the United States secret service limited peace officer authority while working in Colorado."

Basically gives agents or officers jurisdiction and authority to make arrests in Colorado.

If you read the powers, authorities, and duties of the United States Secret Service as outlined in United States code, it would seem that technically the Secret Service already has the authority outlined in SB 13-013 unless I’m missing something.  So why pass a law giving the Secret Service authority it already has?

The obvious answer is that SB 13-013 is in direct response to County Sheriffs like John Cooke who are refusing to enforce Colorado’s new gun control laws. That may or may not be true, but the question is, why did Colorado legislators specify the Secret Service? And why the “specify special agents, uniformed division officers, physical security technicians, physical security specialists or other special officers of the United States Secret Service” language?

Ah sheriffs will stand down, so lets pass a new law to make sure other enforcement agencies still have power and can fulfill their duties without problem.

Ive seen this on fb.  People were comparing it to martial law and saying they could now implement it or something.  Must be those tin foil hat guys

Your sarcasm was not missed.  Gee, ya s'pose maybe we ought to start listening to those tin foil hat guys instead of just dismissing them as crackpots?
