Posse Comitatus
 

2,147 pages

Posse Comitatus, also known as Sheriff's Posse Comitatus, is a loose knit, nationwide organization established in 1973. The group's objectives include resisting statutory authority related to federal, state, and local taxing authorities; limiting the capability of federal, state, and local law enforcement officers; and limiting access of all law enforcement representatives in trespassing on individual property. The FBI conducted an extremist matter/white hate investigation concerning the Posse Comitatus from 1972 through 1977. The organization was also investigated in 1980 through 1986 on possible domestic security/terrorism activities.
