+1 for Elkhart Co. Sherrif! Individual rights trump Feds!

[BBill]

Wonder if Marion or Hendricks Co Sheriffs would do that?

This guy needs to run for office. We need people like this running the country....not just a county. +1 to this man of integrity.

That's great, thanks for posting this.

Yeah, Sheriff's Department here in Elkhart is pretty good. They follow and enforce the letter of the law, and don't try to interpret or make it up as they go.

I wonder if he was in office when we (INGO) did the group buy back in 2008/2009 and sent all of the Indiana Sherriff's a copy of the "The County Sheriff"?

If he wants to run for governor, he has my vote, and I'll stump for him here in Johnson county.

Hope he starts a school for other sheriffs.

Great to read. wish all sheriffs could be like him, or all officers for that matter.

Gawd, how I love stuff like this!!!

Based on my LEO experience, I am convinced that all state, township, and city law enforcement agencies should be abolished and that county sheriffs should be the sole law enforcment representives in any given area.

I learned, much to my detriment, that police chiefs serve not the public, but whoever appointed them and they gladly violate the civil rights of citizens to keep their jobs.

Sheriffs answer directly to the people, and it shows.

Has anyone noticed that sheriffs are usually supportive of gun rights, while police chiefs usually oppose them?

That because if you're a police chief and your crooked, power-hungry superiors are opposed to the Second Amendment, then YOU are opposed to the Second Amendment because if you publicly support gun rights you'll lose your job. The fact that suppression of gun rights costs innocent lives is secondary to the police chief's personal interests, and to such a person the Constitution means nothing at all.

Not so with Sheriffs.

BRAVO!!! Sheriff Rogers!!!

Based on MY experiences living in the South, County Sheriffs can be some of the most corrupt *******s you might ever wish not to see in your rear view mirror - especially if you are not a citizen of their county.

Let's face it. Sheriffs are public officials, just like appointed officials, and they can be just as stupid, corrupt, and venal as any other official, elected or appointed. They can also display outstanding fidelity to their office and the citizens by whom they are selected to serve.

EDIT: this post was the start of an additional thread. One existed from a week ago. Now merged. SDH


I don't know about all of you, but it made my day to see an Indiana Sheriff standing up for a community member and demanding that federal agents follow the law:

++1 for Sheriff Rodger, The Feds are going after the Amosh in Pennsylvania for there selling and using raw milk. So, why is the Obama nation servents so upset about this? What is in store purchased milk, that they don't want us to know, or is it big business trying to push out the little guy with the help of the Feds? You would think they would be happy because it organic in the going green program.
