County Sheriff enforcement power

[Tacit Blue]

Can the County Sheriff enforce county regulations on Federal land? I hear conflicting differences of opinion.

The federal land in question is BLM.

[Ron-Solo]

Yes.

Federal areas such as military bases, no.

Does a county code apply to blm in said county, I'm not sure it does?

Not only can he enforce but he can remove the Federal BLM officers authority to enforce California laws. This is a good article http://www.rangemagazine.com/archive...ge-v-badge.htm

Eldorado Sheriff did the same for forest rangers in Eldorado County. http://sacramento.cbslocal.com/2013/...rcement-power/

I know there has been a real battle down at the sand dunes also with BLM

If they can enforce on National Forest land, I would think the same would apply to BLM land, or at least that makes sense to me.

The plot thickens,

Riverside county shooting regulations 514-10-1 conflict with BLM. I was told by a Ranger, that the County SO will not enforce regs in BLM.

He said told me, he couldn't guarantee that I wouldn't avoid contact with them. I feel if im being lawful I should be fine correct?


b. The Eastern Zone is defined as that portion of the County lying easterly of the line described in subsection a of this Section.
Section 3. It shall be unlawful in either the Western Zone or the Eastern Zone for any person to shoot or discharge any firearm within 300 yards of any occupied or unoccupied building, house or dwelling place, without the written consent of the owner or occupant thereof, or any shotgun within 150 yards, or any other firearm within 300 yards of any corral, paddock, feed yard, dairy, barn or other farm building where cattle, horses, sheep or other animals are raised, milked, fed, trained, housed or confined, without the written consent of the owner or operator thereof, or within 300 yards of any park, public campgrounds, or state riding and hiking trail, or for any person to shoot or discharge within 300 yards of any public highway, public road or public street any firearm other than a shotgun used in lawfully hunting game pursuant to a valid hunting license.

County codes apply on BLM land, but is sounds like Riv Co doesn't deal with them. RSO has a lot of unincorporated land to deal with, so it may just be a way of cutting cost and workload.

Surprised theres no exception in that for blm
