I know in CA it is a violation of election law for an armed law enforcement officer to enter a vote center unless they are responding to an incident or there to vote.

And what are the consequences if they do it anyway?
That, in my opinion, is the question of the era for the USA. We were taught that the rule of law prevailed and there are "checks and balances" but it seems like there is no prescibed way to enforce the rules inside the system.
USA is trending towards right is might.
Whose gonna call the cops on the cops?
Different cops. We had sheriff’s deputies out for some other issue, my impression was they took the law pretty seriously. They may not arrest them on the spot, but I think they would get ID and tell them to leave, and later file a report.
aka "who watches the watchmen?"
Exactly
are the cops gonna do anything? just start a mini civil war in someone’s garage?
These days, I would guess a "tsk-tsk" is said to them.

The States need to grow a pair and start arresting these agents who break the law.

“Grow a pair” presumes the state isn’t actively achieving its goals through these actions.

It’s a big club, and we ain’t in it.
