can a deputy sheriff pull you over in a different county than where their from?

Answer 1

Because you do not tell us the county and state where this occurred, we can give only general information.

First, in most states, deputy sheriffs ("officers", which includes police officers from cities and deputy sheriffs from counties) have state-wide "police power" and authority. That is, they can and must (they take an oath of office) uphold the laws and maintain the peace within the entire state.

Second, as a matter of "comity" (which means professional courtesy), an officer (a deputy sheriff from a county or a police officer from a city) will not usually perform official acts in a different county or city, unless

(1) The other county or city gives advance approval;

(2) There is an an imminent threat in the other county or city; or

(3) The pursuit of a fleeing suspect continues into the other county of city.

Except in these three cases, as a matter of comity, officers ordinarily do not act outside their assigned jurisdictions, but they certainly have the legal authority to do so.

Hope this answers your question. Please post a follow-up if you need more information.

Answer 2

A sheriff's deputy has authority to enforce the laws throughout the county that employs him or her. There are some agencies (depending on the state and specific agency) that have statewide authority.

Answer 3

AMENDED answer. rather, I stand corrected. numerous the flaws Arpaio is doing are borderline (pun meant) unlawful below federal regulations. besides the fact that curiously he's making a actual looking attempt to conform with the standards that states no longer enforce immigration regulations, and rather finding the thank you to enforce state regulations that grant the same internet result. And the deputizing ICE brokers is astonishing, because of the fact it gets around the subject of enforcement of federal regulations somewhat properly, considering those brokers are legally entitled to enforce federal regulations. So, kudos to an inventive and properly-concept out thank you to handle the subject without making the comparable mistake many different cities and cities have finished.

Answer 4

Did he observe an infraction in his jurisdiction and follow you?
Are you on a county border and he witnessed a crime from one jurisdiction in the other?

Depending on the severity of the crime, yes they can. They will make initial contact and request a patrol from the jurisdiction respond and assume jurisdictional control for citation or other action. The biggest factor is still what the severity of the offense was.

Answer 5

I had a cop pull me over for running a red light then because he wasn't from that city, he called a cop who was from that city to come and write me the ticket.

Answer 6

It is possible, because they are employed by the county, but granted rights to protect and serve by the state.

Answer 7

In certain states, a police officer has statewide jurisdiction

Answer 8

Yes, if he was pursuing you from his jurisdiction, he can cross county lines to arrest you.

Answer 9

In this country, and any other country for that matter, the self proclaimed holy ones can pull you over any time they feel like it. It's the badge and the backing of their govt. that allows them to do so. It doesn't matter if you did anything or not.
The sad truth is, the law has become border line tyrants answerable only to themselves. It's the Spanish Inquisition re-visited. By all means, please read......

Answer 10

It depends on the type of violation.

A law enforcement officer can always act to prevent a violent crime, or any felony, from being committed in their presence.

But other than that, jurisdictional limits prevent them from enforcing non-violent ordinances (speeding etc).
