Jurisdiction question.

It depends on the state.

In the case of municipalities and counties it also depends on any reciprocal agreements between the various entities.

Can cities also have such a reciprocal agreement?  For instance, if there is a "city" .2 sq mi big inside of another, lager city?

Yes.  In the case you would cite there is most likely such an agreement.  (Just think how silly it would be for the patrols of the larger city to have to avoid that area.)

Not really, considering the whole entire .2 sq mi that is Remerton is one strip of bars and a few small back roads.  Besides, the Valdosta police wouldn't be barred from driving through Remerton for the whole 2 seconds it takes, they just wouldn't have any power there (provided such an agreement does not exist - I have read that it indeed does not, but I can not find this information from a reputable source).

How do you know he was out of 'his jurisdiction'? They could ahve free reign or they could have agreements.


Also, ALL peace officers take a state credentialing exam and are licensed by the same agency. Doesn't matter if you're in Dearborn or Detroit, Dallas or Houston, LA or San Diego. Therefor they are technically peace officers in the entire state, just get paid by different agencies.

Actually, USAF, all the things he stated were false.

Reds are not ticketed more.
Whites don't bounce the laser from LIDAR off more easily.
Front license plates aren't to reflect the laser.
Slamming your brakes wont mess the reading because by the time the laser is on you, it's too late (which is why laser-detectors are useless)

As for speeding in the highspeed, it depends. Officers do tend to look at that lane more because speeders are typically there, but by your rationale "If you shoot someone infront of a police station you're more likely to get caught". If they see you passing vehciles in ANY lane, they'll look at you more closely.

Your argument about curves is pretty moot, you're also safe from radar next to very large vehicles, as the radar locks onto the larger one. But, if you're speeding, it doesn't matter. As for the slamming on breaks, that's not "beating the laser," like you tried to say earlier. The laser's reading is correct, plain and simple. That's why cops use LIDAR from bridges or at the backside of a hills crest.
