I was just informed by a friend in Lousiana that about 15 years ago some laws passed with little notice by anyone that when the Louisiana National Guard is activated for an emergency, they have the same power of search, arrest, etc, as LEO. They are considered LEO's during those times. And another law passed at the same time allows National Guard from other states to come in at the request of the Governor, and THOSE out of state National Guard have the same powers as Louisiana National Guard... that is, they have all the powers of LEO's.
