One point.  Local police DO have the jurisdiction to make
arrests in federal cases.  They must contact the feds and
turn the person over to the feds though.  The oath they take
when they take the job includes local, state, and federal
law enforcement responsibilities.  Most of them are not aware
of the federal laws they are charged to enforce, however,
so they don't bother and leave it up to the feds.
