Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association (CSPOA)

The Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association (CSPOA) is a group that promotes the idea that local law enforcement officials, particularly sheriffs, should uphold what they interpret as the Constitution's original principles. They believe sheriffs have a constitutional authority to resist federal laws they consider unlawful or overreaching. The organization advocates for state and local law enforcement to prioritize their own constitutional rights and sovereignty over federal mandates, often emphasizing limited government and individual freedoms. However, their views on federal authority and constitutional interpretation are controversial and not universally accepted within the legal or law enforcement communities.
