Question......

Can regular police pull you over on the highway or does it have to be the highway patrol? I've heard both so I'm really not for sure. __________________ Did you get busted? And if so what for. I think here in NY all cops can do that, even the locals stopping on the side of the road to take a pee on their way to work.

Even if its out of a policemans juristiction they still can arrest you if you look like your doing something suspicious. This is in New York State. __________________ In California, a cop can pull you over on the highway if you are a danger to others (like 100+ mph), but for the most part they cannot and if you do they are pretty easy to fight. I got this info from a retired cop. __________________ im MN they can but ehres the catch the usually wait within the city limits which usually extend quite a way past the town and catch you there once they clock you, they have the atuhority to follow you out of their jurisdiction for a given distance before they have to back off or pull you over but you figure in my area here there arent to many areas where there is so much distance between city limits that a cop couldnt get ya anywhere along there PS traffic tickets suck ass!!!!!!
