In 1978 the U.S. Supreme decided the issue of tribal criminal jurisdiction over non-Indians in a case involving the Suquamish Tribe. In Oliphant v. Suquamish Tribe the Court concluded that "Indian tribes do not have inherent jurisdiction to try and to punish non-Indians." That case even involved activities occurring on the Suquamish Reservation. Plain and simple, Tribes have absolutely no criminal jurisdiction over non-Indians - anywhere. At most, tribal police without cross deputization have the power to detain non-Indians suspected of criminal activity ON A RESERVATION and wait for state or county police to come along and take over. I understand that all people make mistakes - Indians and non-Indians alike. Let's not loose sight of that fact. However, aside from the completely erroneous assertion of jurisdiction here, the manner in which these "game agents" operated seems way out of control. And defending them just piles on to all the other mistakes. Why is it O.K. to call them "agents" and assume that solves a policing jurisdiction mistake? Time to stand up, take responsibility, and apologize. That's how respect is earned."
