That's how it works, not my fault you don't like reality.
Almost all laws are open to some form interpretation/enforcement from any form of agency. That is why, in most cases, Police/Sheriffs/Highway Patrol won't pull you over for doing a few MPH over the limit. They are all to use their best judgment in every scenario they come across.

Suing a Sheriff for not violating 2nd and 4th amendment rights? Wow, takes a special kind of re re for that.
The suits against them for violating rights will go further than those against them for not violating them.

Political ideology has nothing to do with it, so you can leave that one at the door bub
Law enforcement officers, in all capacity, have a certain level of discretion left to the office/individual. If said officer deems a law/search/seizure is unlawful they can choose to not enforce it.
Sure, they can be reprimanded for doing so. The office can also choose to send another officer to do said enforcement.
That is how law enforcement works, sorry if you don't like it. Not up to you or I

Again, just because you don't like it, does not make it any less true.
So then a cop choosing not to pull you over for speeding on a state highway is crazy? Or does that never happen?

If police enforced every single law to the T, almost everyone would be given tickets or put in jail daily.
It's called discretion. Look it up
To be fair, everyone you know is probably just like you, a gun grabber with little to no expertise on the matter.
According to UNICEF, “The objectification and sexualization of girls in the media is linked to violence against women and girls worldwide.”
The media normalizes the act of dominance and aggression against women by constantly showcasing them as objects of pleasure. Boys and men tend to internalize that message, and it influences their subconscious biases of how they view women. They tend to legitimize violence, harassment, and anti-women views and behaviors.

That's the thing, too many people like you are going to take advantage of a red flag law and deem anyone and everyone "dangerous, sick and/or violent" without probable cause and therefore violating that persons 2nd and 4th amendment for no reason.
You, I, or any other Joe Blow off the street don't get to decide that for anyone but ourselves.

Your "name" and avatar suggest you are a witch or at least interested in witchcraft. Since you are of the devil and believe do what thou whilst, why should anyone believe anything you say when by your own spiritual guise lying is great as long as it benefits you?
You are right and wrong at the same time. I'll go as far as to say that I am probably the most honest person you have wver met.
To dicard my opinion because you are making stories up about my person, just because you are really religiously brainwashed ain't my problem. It just highlights the closed mindedness and nastiness of some religious folk.
I accept and speak anyone who is willing to do so with decorum. Anyone who hates me for no other reason than their masters telling them to dehumanise me, has no self awareness and is not a person I consider worth listening to either.
Yes I am a witch. Now what?
You know nothing else about me and there are a thousand other things about me who make me a worthwhile person.
Things that have nothing to do with my chosen form of belief.
But it's enough to want me dead, suffering forever in a mde up hell. Many elievers are one mind ponies and can't think for tbemsekves.
I've met believers who were able to discuss things without judgement. Those have the right mindset and I call them friends.
So have a nice life.

Here is the procedure that red flag laws "follow"
Someone calls and makes a complaint saying that "Doug" has a gun and has mental health issues
The police now take that info and go to "Doug's" house and proceeds to take his firearm without any due process (illegal search and seizure)
"Doug" is then placed on a list of people that, no matter if he has mental problems or not, cannot purchase/own/or posses a firearm. (taking away his 2nd amendment right without cause)
The "investigation" takes place only after "Doug" loses those 2 rights, if the officers conduct the unconstitutional red flag search and seizure.
All of this because someone had a problem with him. More than likely, not even what was being reported.
6. Guns in the home are used more often to intimidate intimates than to thwart crime
Using data from a national random-digit-dial telephone survey conducted under the direction of the Harvard Injury Control Research Center, we investigated how and when guns are used in the home. We found that guns in the home are used more often to frighten intimates than to thwart crime; other weapons are far more commonly used against intruders than are guns.
