as long as it doesnt break a constitutional right then they can do it
And what part of the Constitution gives them police power?
the federal murder laws do not apply within the territory of any State unless there is some jurisdictional vector
Is it me, does Markiplier starting to look like a Guru?

FBI is a thing
the Constitutional grants the police power to the States @Bookworm
Then the federal government has no authority to police.
DC
parks, military bases, embassies
etc.
It does, according to the executive branch clause
Do you have a link, Codes?
They may enforce federal law

is this actually difficult to understand?
does Rhode Island have jursidiction in New York?
of course not
the feds have primary jurisdiction in their own territory
Except the right to police is granted to the states, you said.
yeah
DC is not a state
The FBI does not police people
military bases are not a state
They investigate federal crimes
yes
Define policing
If they investigate and take into custody suspected criminals for prosecution, how is that not policing?
federal crimes are enabled by specific authority contained in the constitution (Interstate Commerce Clause, for the most part) or in laws enabled by treaty
"taking into custody" is policing
and the feds do so in cases where they have jurisdiction
murder is a state crime, and does not grant federal jurisdiction
So ultimately there is federal authority to police, but it is limmitted
yes, of course
hence federal prisons holding millions of inmates
or hundreds of thousands, or whatever it is
Feds often work closesly with states either way anyway from what I understand
indeed
The federal government has the right to police their own laws. Remember the FBI was borne of the effort to enforce Prohibition.
Simmilar to how they might even work outside of the country
