Wicomico Co. Maryland sheriff among many who won’t enforce some gun bans
“State police and highway patrol get their orders from the governor,” the Maryland sheriff said. “I get my orders from the citizens in this county.”
It has been said before that there is nothing that will destroy a good relationship between the citizens and the police faster than a bad law. It's something that most cop's on the street learn early on, but it's something that some police administrators seem to ignore or forget. Especially prone to overlooking this fact are police administrator's that are appointed by left-wing politicians.
There are, however, some police administrator's that are directly elected by the people whom they serve; we call them Sheriff's. Recently, we have seen evidence that more and more Sheriff's are listening to their electorate when it comes to enforcing bad laws that infringe on civil rights — especially the right to keep and bear arms.
But, even the Sheriff must deal with politicians who are in denial.
