So let the local officials bring a case.

If a police officer pulls me over and finds that I was driving without a license, they aren't going to let me drive away and file a case the next day. They're going to impound my car. Following that same logic, if a jurisdiction requires licenses for commercial taxi drivers, then operating as a taxi without that license will result in your car being impounded. Why do you feel these should be treated differently?

[bogositosius]

What does this example scenario have to do with the federal government getting involved in taxi regulations?

[kevan]

Nothing. The comment I replied to was explicitly about local officials, not the federal government.

[TheCoelacanth]

I would be fine with that, but there's no reason that the federal government shouldn't also bring a RICO case for obstruction of justice.

[bogositosius]

There are plenty of reasons that they shouldn't. You may not agree with the reasons but they exist.

[TheCoelacanth]

Well, since you haven't stated what the reasons are, you aren't doing a very good job of convincing me that they exist.

One possible outcome of an FBI investigation is information being shared with local prosecutors on which they might being a case.
