lkh_lashoutsHiya I'm new and this is my first time posting so I really hope this thought doesn't come to bite me if I'm completely wrong. ^_^;;;
I got curious because I remember in one of the books that Anita said because of her Federal Marshal status she could walk in on any supernatural case. I checked out the official government website and got the feeling that she couldn't do that at all. The duties of a Federal Marshall are as followed from what I got from the government website:
*Judicial Security - protecting federal judicial officials
*special mission, programs- which has a special operations group that's specially trained tactical unit made of Deputy Marshals
*Witness Security Program
*Fugitive Investigations
*transportation of prisoners
*Prisoner services
*Asset Forfeiture Program- managing and disposing of properties belonging to criminals they got illegally.
The only thing that is seems LHK got right is that Anita can go through with Fugitive Investigations across states lines. I just feel that she has it wrong that Anita goes solo through out these. There are teams or units of Marshall and Deputies Marshall. I also couldn't find anything about them just deputizing random people for their needs like she did with Jason and the wererats. I believe they'll ask for assistance of local enforcement. But it seems that Anita is only qualified to do one of these duties of a Federal Marshal. She can't just wave her badge and demand to be let in on a case that deals with her field unless there's a court order.
I'm not sure if all my facts are correct since I only read the page that listed a Federal Marshalls duties. It just bugged me that she kept on waving her badge around or in Incubus Dreams that she was more than willing to go alone into the vampire nest without backup. I feel that just because she's a vampire execution made a F.M. doesn't mean that she shouldn't be on a team or in contact with other Federal Marshals in the state?
I guess I'm just confused.
Another thing off topic, I keep hearing Anita being Catholic. But in one of the older books didn't she tell Manny after the Pope excommunicated animators that she became Episcopalion or some other branch of the religion?
