Thanks for clearing that up, both Stephen G and Sgt hop. This is a photography forum and I shouldn't deviate away from that but I am curious and hope you can indulge me in just one more point. It is my understanding that Bush II abolished Posse Comitatus as part of the Military Commissions Act 2006 but later Obama amended some parts of it. Baltimore predates this by almost 40 years and this doesn't apply here. My simple question is, does Posse Comitatus still stand as part of US Federal Law or not. Thanks.

It has been a while since I had to keep abreast with the changes. I have just looked this up: https://www.rand.org/content/dam/rand/pubs/monograph_reports/MR1251/MR1251.AppD.pdf

The original Act seems to be still intact. What was added were the further definition as to what activities the Federal forces can used. It all applies to assisting in border control actions. From the reading, the Act itself was not repealed. But the functions of the Federal military were broadened. Caveat: I am not a lawyer.

Thanks for that speedy reply Stephen and the explanation. I have to do something for the lady wife right now and will check out the link later. It is good that the original act still stands and that I was misinformed or just didn't understand what exactly had been changed. Thanks again, matey and now back to the photography.

Old joke: How does one know they are using a camera made in Japan? It goes "Crick!"
