Can a sheriff ask to see a Selective Service Registration Card?

WHY aren't they checking for those who haven't registerd for Selective Service??? Or is this another law that has been relegated to the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" file???

Who Must Register With The Selective Service?
All male U.S. citizens must register with the Selective Service within 30 days of their 18th birthday.

Male lawful permanent residents (green card holders), refugees, parolees, and asylees must register within 30 days of their 18th birthday or within 30 days of their arrival in the U.S. if age 18 through 25.

Undocumented aliens are required to register.

Why Must I Register With The Selective Service?
It is the law. Willful failure to comply with registration requirements is a felony which may be punishable by imprisonment for up to five years and a fine of up to $250,000.

Failure to register may be cause for denial of permanent residency (green card) and citizenship.

Many state and federal programs, including student financial aid, job training, and government employment, require proof of registration.

BTTT!

LEO's should ask for proof of Selective Service registration.

Is N.O.W. on record as demanding that all women be required to register with the Selective Service Administration?

Thats an interesting question. I wish I had the answer. I see a lot of goatee wearing "I didnt register for the imperial war machine draft" fools running around protesting today and they havent a clue.

I think, IMHO, most of them are attempting to hide a severe case of cowardice in the form of embracing a cause ( however stupid or ignorant it is) to cloak it. I often wonder if responsible authorities ever check to see if one is registered before they get federal jobs or student aid loans.
What they dont realize is all they have to do, if they wanted to serve honorably, is find a job in the military that they have no chance of being injured doing like veterinary tech or something, and off they go.
Of course I was too ignorant to follow that line of thinking, and put myself in jobs that require me to put my tail in harms way. (LOL)
Chalk up another one to the "I am going to have to find out more about that" file. Good point. I havent

regards
