Can a cop from a different jurisdiction give you a ticket in another jurisdiction?

In: Law & Legal Issues, US History, Politics and Government [Edit categories]

Answer:

From: katanatac- The answer is no. Unless the Officer's Agency has entered into a "mutual aid" agreement. An example of this would be a Campus Police Agency and the City Police Agency signing an agreement which then would allow the Campus Police to have the same jurisdiction as the City Police. However,most of the Campus Police Chiefs would only want their Officers to enforce State or Local law off of the Campus in only the most extreme cases because of legal problems that could arise (law suits!!) Hope this helps.
