The Posse Comitatus Act is a United States federal law (18 U.S.C. Hayes which limits the powers of the federal government in the use of federal military personnel to enforce domestic policies within the United States.

The Insurrection Act of 1807 is a United States federal law that empowers the President of the United States to deploy U.S. military and federalized National Guard troops within the United States in particular circumstances, such as to suppress civil disorder, insurrection, or rebellion.

A civilian has the right to sue the military under the FTCA for negligence. The right extends to veterans and military dependents. The Feres Doctrine is from a 1950 U.S. Supreme Court case in which the court ruled that active-duty service members are barred from filing negligence claims against the government.

Article 92 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice makes it a crime to disobey a lawful military order or regulation. You can be considered to be in violation of Article 92 if you intentionally violate or fail to follow an order. This means that you can be guilty under Article 92 for an intentional or negligent act.

Military members disobey orders at their own risk. They also obey orders at their own risk. An order to commit a crime is unlawful. An order to perform a military duty, no matter how dangerous, is lawful as long as it doesn’t involve the commission of a crime.

Judges can also issue special kinds of court orders, called “writs” which are a direction to a law enforcement agency generally to take certain action. The judge can’t physically force or threaten law enforcement to do what they are told to do by a judge. The cops have the guns, not the judges.

Generally speaking, a lawful order is one that a police officer can legally issue and enforce. That’s very circular logic, but it’s the easiest way to explain it. Let’s start with the process, without getting into any details: You and a police officer are in the same area.

Law enforcement officers are unique in that they have the power to issue lawful orders to the population at large. These orders may be necessary to preserve public safety or maintain order during an emergency situation.

The terms lawful and legal differ in that the former contemplates the substance of law, whereas the latter alludes to the form of law. A lawful act is authorized, sanctioned, or not forbidden by law. A legal act is performed in accordance with the forms and usages of law, or in a technical manner.

Direct orders are essentially any command a commissioned or non-commissioned officer gives to his/her subordinates. Direct orders are given daily in the form of instructions for the general functioning of the military.
