It read it as him asserting his jurisdiction over the county, and this whole case seems to boil down to an implied conflict between the county and the state over that jurisdiction. I’m not a lawyer, but it doesn’t look like there’s a very strong mens rea component to this accusation. I imagine they’d have to prove that the accused acted negligently, supposing it is in fact true that the state didn’t have the authority to authorise the test. But then who else is also culpable? Coalfire? The state of Iowa? The particular state official involved in this engagement?
