I was an MP, he would only have jurisdiction on a Military Installation, while on duty. The only exceptions I have run across were at Fort Riley, KS where we would go out and ride along with the Manhattan PD. While out there, we acted with the same authority as the PD. I once had to fly to Benning to pick up an AWOL solider, got to fly armed, good times. Other than that, your buddy is asking to be arrested a could face Civil liabilities.

Without proper certification of the state of which he is trying to do this, (Peace Officers Certification) he is no different than anyone else.
Law enforcement if off duty and out of their jurisdiction are sworn to uphold the law and if they don't react can have their State Certification taken away. A robbery, wreck, or first aid they are required to act.

But I belong to the state of Georgia. If Obama want me, there is a process to go through.
They can sure stop you (civilian) for speeding, happened to me on U.S 520 (major 4-lane hwy) while going thru Ft. Benning. Nice guys, could have gave me a ticket but instead just a warning and had a ball BSing with each other for a few minutes.
You were on Army property.
You are subject to the UCMJ and Obama is CINC.
Yep, Army property.
That's true...but I still belong to the state of Georgia. I have to be on Title Ten orders to be considered "federal" military. Regardless of how it's organized, posse comitatus does not apply to me.
They explained it as Federal Property, Federal Hwy (U.S 520) on Federal Property (military Post) not just Army property. Same thing though and they got no agrument from me. Just thinking, maybe they have arrest powers on any "Federal " property ??
