Um...no. I work for a state law-enforcement agency. You have state laws, with state law-enforcement officers (LEO's), state courts, and state and county jails. You also have federal laws, with federal agencies, federal LEO's, federal courts and federal jails.All state laws are governed by Federal law. So in essence, it's a federal law.
Now, if you have a federal law on the same subject as a state law, the federal law trumps the state law. However, please note that unless the infraction involves a federal interest, it is often resolved at the state or local level. For instance, murder cases are most often tried in state courts.
Of course, I am not a lawyer, but you're just flat wrong.
