It would appear that Lewis is a little confused. The office of
sheriff was created more than a century before the official founding of
the United States. Delaware’s first sheriff took office in 1669.
Christopher tells AFP that the two administrations prior to his—as
far back as 2000—began to notice a reduction in funding and the chipping
away of powers of the office in general.
“Now my deputies and I have been relieved of all arrest powers and can’t even make a traffic stop,” he said. “Delaware has only three counties. . . The other two sheriffs . . . will not stand up with me” to prevent the elimination of county law enforcement, he said.

According to my source this has given Big Sis Napolitano an idea on a national level too. Seems to be an outright power play since Sheriff's Office controls State and County Gun Permitting and many have come forward saying they will not enforce a federal Gun Control bill.
The sheriffs offices of the 3 counties in Delaware have acted as process servers, and the agents of sheriff sales for the county. As the website for the Sussex County Delaware Sheriffs Office puts it: "This office serves papers for the courts and holds Sheriff's sales for non-payment of taxes, mortgage foreclosures plus all other court orders." http://www.sussexcountyde.gov...
However, the recently elected (in 2010) new sheriff of Sussex County, Jeff Christopher (a retired police officer from Maryland - not in Delaware), who served under the previous sheriff for 7 years has decided to take on an expanded role and began to make unauthorized traffic stops, respond to state police calls not issued to the sheriffs department, making arrests without affording the suspect his Constitutional rights, resulting in having the charges dismissed by a judge because of the errant arrest. The previous sheriff also tried the same thing and encountered similar resistence on the same legal grounds. Sheriff Christopher is pushing the issu...

The previous sheriff also tried the same thing and encountered similar resistence on the same legal grounds. Sheriff Christopher is pushing the issue again.
The unauthorized expansion of his duties has also resulted in his getting behind on his other duties including a backlog on sheriff's sales several months deep. So in response to his actions and claim of authority not afforded the office of sherrif in that state for at least 80 years, the Attorney General of Delaware (who happens to be Joe Biden's son) has informed Sheriff Christopher that his office of sherrif is not afforded by the State Constitution any powers of arrest beyond those afforded to any US citizen.
Since he is contesting that assertion with a law suit, which by the way the other two county sherrifs in Delaware do not support, the State Assembly has introduced a bill to clearly state that the Office of County Sheriff does not have legal arrest authority. The other county officials in Sussex County concurr.
Therefore Christopher is taking his case to the press in other states and to the internet in hopes of garnering public support.
Some websites that express this other side of the story are:

OF COURSE you can make this sh*t up. You just did!
This fits the format of a chain email. They are easy to recognize, they all use the same formula. I've been seeing them for years.
I pick: This isn't true.

Another non-story crafted into one by the paranoid extremists.
Delaware:
Per Title 10, Chapter 21 of the Delaware Code, the Sheriff is an officer of the court. Responsibilities include processing orders of the court system; summoning inquests, jurors, and witnesses for the courts; and, conducting execution sales against personal and real estate property. County Sheriffs and their regular appointed deputies also take into custody unincarcerated persons immediately upon conviction of an imprisonable offense and convey them to the appropriate correctional facility to serve their terms. The County Sheriffs and their deputies do not engage in typical law enforcement, their primary role is to provide enforcement services for the courts. Typical law enforcement, such as the enforcement of motor vehicle laws, investigation of crimes and routine policing patrols are performed by State, County and municipal (Town or City) police forces.

And yes, I know when truth is presented to the contrary of the conservative inanity it always confounds you cons ...
Of course you implying that my factual answer is somehow untruthful and mere crap is well, not childish? Yeah, only in the world of dishonest conservatives ...
- You engaged me, with "Her poll is not crap, but your answer. . . . . . . . ?"
Please elaborate ...
This administration and it's minions seem to be all about removing ALL local authority and centralizing everything under the FED only.
Dangerous times for the 53% of us who support the constitution.
Bull frog face should leave it alone..........
