How much of a city's police budget comes from the state or federal government? What happens if a city decides that the city's police are only going to enforce a specific set of laws that is agreed upon at the city level?
Haha good luck. Education budget cut for state schools in that state, no more federal highway money, and many more levers. Remember how Louisiana didn’t want to raise drinking age? Know why they are the state with most dirt roads? No honey from DC...
How is this tracked/enforced at the state/federal level? Maybe the cops were just too busy actually protecting and serving to enforce BS state/federal laws that weren't a priority relative to the other issues. What can they do but offer you even more funding to fill the gap?
