Comment: Yes, this applies to anyone who is 'currently' receiving a

government paycheck, either local/state/federal on the 1st and 15th of the month.

Even if you are a state/federal employee, those statutes only apply to you while you're on the clock and getting paid.

If you are a police officer, you must follow those statutory rules of the corporate county or state while you are on the clock. When you clock out at night and go home, those statutes no longer apply to you.

Just like working at Wal-Mart; if you are clocked in, you must follow their corporate rules and regulations ... aka ... statutes, but when you clock out at night, those internal statutes no longer apply until you clock back in the following day.
