Re: can county resolutions to the patriot acts be upheld- college paper
Federal authorities must generally comply with local law unless the local law conflicts with federal law, or the local law exempts federal officials from compliance, or federal law exempts federal officials from compliance.
If there are conflicting federal and local laws, then the federal law takes precedence, regardless of whether either law says so.
Beyond that, your question is not clear or specific enough for me to speak about specific laws.
Good luck.
