Feds are supposed to follow state law. So if a state bars a right-hand turn against a red light, the fed could be charged for violating that traffic law (exceptions obviously if the LEO was in a pursuit of a suspect).

You also have many feds/LEO who are operating "under cover" and "plain clothes" as part of an investigation. But in those cases, they are usually required to produce credentials for identification. Even in my own agency, all of us had official credentials to show when we went to one of our regulated industry sites (and our investigators had metal badges on theirs).

Normally, municipal/county/state/federal LEO have MOUs and partnership agreements because that benefits all of them by expanding the amount of resources to carry out their duties. But when you have rogues in any of these levels of government, that creates problems.
