No, I haven't. But, if a local officer is traveling on a state highway and he sees something that is illegal or dangerous, isn't he at least obligated to notify the state highway patrol officers of the situation so that they can get involved? If what you are suggesting is true, then a police officer from Davidson County, TN. can come upon a deadly wreck in another county or somewhere else out of his "jurisdiction" and simply pass by and not even notify another member of law enforcement who might have jurisdiction?
Sounds screwed up to me.
No. What I am saying is a local PO cannot cite a person on a state highway for speeding. It would lack jurisdiction.
I'm from the England UK, and I find what you mention very puzzling, As we get alot of TV show from America, also we get made for cable movies, But this thing you mention about juristriction, rings true, I thought it was just in the movies and shitty TV shows, One exception would be Smokey and the Bandit, that was cat and mouse. Ermm my point being .. I don't know how your coppers work over there, but it seems like if someone wanted to commit a crime all they would have to do is cross the state line, depending on what you did you probaly wouldn't get caught. We call them lazy people 'wankers'
