Question No arrest authority for Sheriffs

This is an interesting story from Delaware.

Apparently the State's "Supremes" have determined that being a "conservator of peace" does not translate to arrest authority for County Sheriffs.

This just seems rather odd. The focus of the case was the Sussex County Sheriff's office, but there are several other County Sheriffs operating within Delaware.

Quote:
WILMINGTON, Del. (AP/WBOC) - The Delaware Supreme Court has upheld a lower court ruling that sheriffs in Delaware do not have police powers.

In a 26-page opinion released Monday, the justices affirmed a March ruling by a Superior Court judge upholding the constitutionality of a bill passed by state lawmakers that bars sheriffs and their deputies from making arrests.
