The courthouse was the COUNTY courthouse...The land it is on is county property...It is like an island in the middle of the city...
The county cops were out in the county, not in the city...
It is weird, but that’s how it works...
Too bad it wasn’t Jacksonville, FLA...The city limit is the county line....
Jacksonvill, Florida is the largest County East of the Mississippi river if memory serves me correctly?
Sorry, Mr JBW1949, but I’m a retired PD & that’s not how it works...
“Hey, Homer, thar’s a fire a-settin’ off”
“Well, Jethro, caint put it out, we ain’t got no jeerisdiction...”
So if they were witnessing some other sort of felony, like an assault or a murder, they would be duty bound to just stand outside the border and watch?
No. That's just crap.
