A law enforcement agency (LEA) has powers, which other government subjects do not, to enable the LEA to undertake its responsibilities. These powers are generally in one of six forms: * Exemptions from laws * Intrusive powers, for search, seizure, and interception * Legal deception * Use of force and constraint of liberty * Jurisdictional override * Direction The types of powers and law exemptions available to a LEA vary from country to country. See law enforcement techniques for a list of other law enforcement techniques.
