The San Juan Co sheriff is threatening a $5000 fine and up to 1 year in jail for offenders. I don’t know the inter-workings, but a sheriff does have jurisdiction if it’s in his county including BLM lands.
Actually, no. We had a vehicle incident on Nat'l forest one time and the sheriff deputy had us meet him in town because the incident happened on Federal land and could not investigate to write a report. He met us in town to generate a report for insurance purposes only.
A sheriff's office would have to be deputized to exercise authority on Federal lands, maybe they are. Just like a tribal cop has to be deputized by the state to issue a citation on a federal or state hwy that traverses across reservation land.
