Border patrol

Finally, someone is taking on the Arizona militia border patrols, who heretofore have been operating more or less at will without any apparent concern from officials:

State Asked To Investigate Militia Groups

The organization spent the past two months collection 2,000 signatures which it will present to Arizona Attorney General Terry Goddard next Tuesday. The petitions ask Goddard to conduct an investigation of the militia groups and it they're breaking the law, they should be arrested and prosecuted.

"Arizona has an anti militia law," says Allen, "Which spells out when and how civilians can make arrests and from out interpretation of the law, vigilante groups, civilian groups don't have a right to make civilian arrests."

One can only hope Goddard follows through on this.
