Deep dives
The Rise of Constitutional Sheriffs
Constitutional sheriffs believe that the county sheriff holds the ultimate authority to interpret and enforce the Constitution, often prioritizing this over federal or state laws. Groups like the CSPOA, founded by former sheriff Richard Mack, advocate for sheriffs to act as a check on other government layers. However, critics warn that this movement could lead to selective enforcement of laws, potentially disrupting legal precedents and the uniform application of justice.
