This is very true, without law there is anarchy. And anarchy is very much like the vacuum in physics, it needs to be filled even if by the first tyrannical entity that comes along.

Where does the Sheriff get his power?
(From the prospective in a citizen in Phoenix, AZ and if you have been paying attention the Federal government has been putting the heat on our Sheriff Joe Arpaio)
I don't know what the Federal Government is going to do about the Good Sheriff. Sheriffs are Constitutional officers, not U. S. Constitution but State Constitution.
The people created the Constitution which empowers the Federal government to protect the people. Also, he Tenth Amendment reserves to the states respectively, or to the people, any powers the Constitution did not delegate to the United States, nor prohibit the states from exercising.
The office of sheriff is created by the Constitution of the great state of Arizona. The sheriff is bound by the oath to uphold the Constitution of the state and answerable only to the people of the county NOT the Federal Government. The office of sheriff IS a part of the checks and balances of the United States of America. It is there to prevent the Federal Government from doing what it is trying to do today.
So what is the Federal Government going to do? Amend the Arizona State Constitution? I think not.
