DNC Convention security

[Nizark]

It has been reported on the news that uniformed Military Police will be working the convention in Boston. I don't know about the RNC convention, but isn't the use of the military for domestic law enforcement purposes against Posse Comitatus?

Since its decalred a 'national security event' does that make the Posse Comitatus law void?

Posse Comitatus Act
Source: G-OPL

"POSSE COMITATUS ACT" (18 USC 1385): A Reconstruction Era criminal law proscribing use of Army (later, Air Force) to "execute the laws" except where expressly authorized by Constitution or Congress. Limit on use of military for civilian law enforcement also applies to Navy by regulation. Dec '81 additional laws were enacted (codified 10 USC 371-78) clarifying permissible military assistance to civilian law enforcement agencies--including the Coast Guard--especially in combating drug smuggling into the United States. Posse Comitatus clarifications emphasize supportive and technical assistance (e.g., use of facilities, vessels, aircraft, intelligence, tech aid, surveillance, etc.) while generally prohibiting direct participation of DoD personnel in law enforcement (e.g., search, seizure, and arrests). For example, Coast Guard Law Enforcement Detachments (LEDETS) serve aboard Navy vessels and perform the actual boardings of interdicted suspect drug smuggling vessels and, if needed, arrest their crews). Positive results have been realized especially from Navy ship/aircraft involvement..

What do they need the security for? Don't forget that there are no WMD in Iraq and al-Qaeda is not a big deal.

Boston doesnt play around with things like this.
its pretty much locked down

Somehow I don't think the Dems are responsible for security for that exact reason.

Either way the taxpayers have to pay for the 13 + millions dollars in the DNC.
