Federal Restrictions on using U.S. MPs for law enforcement on foreign soil

[marct]

I asked an MP firend and he told me that there were legal restrictions. From what I can find, there is none (other than SOFA).

I am guessing that it is an institutional mindset that keeps MPs from engaging in these operations unless forced to.

Don't know about the States, but the term "legal restrictions" is frequently used here to include bureaucratic regulations, so that might be what he is referring to - trickle-down "laws". Just a thought, but you might want to look into specific MP regulations.

ps. Have you looked at the recently signed bi-lateral agreement between NORTHCOM and CANADACOM?
