Can a person get a restraining order against a federal agent who attempts to arrest a person for violating federal law? This is a question that I ponder to myself and I hope that the reader (that's you) think about seriously. Restraining orders are issued by state and local governments that keep a citizen of that local safe from the actions of another.
Usually they are orders that keep a person a certain distance from that particular person. The question is why can't such legal protection be used against federal agents since they are also people. Most restraining orders do not list exceptions to who can be restrained which is probably due to the fact that no one ever thought that a restraining order can be used against a federal agent. That is not my fault they allowed a huge loophole in the law but since it is there then it should be exploited for our advantage as much as possible.
Restraining orders have to be respected by the arresting federal agent for several reasons but the most powerful reason is the tenth amendment itself. The state has that power so any law made using that power has to be respected by the federal government. There is no prohibition stating that states can't hinder the federal government from making an arrest.
Such a tragedy--NOT--as they would say on an old show Wayne's World.
