State Capital Polie probably only patrol the state capital area and the Highway patrol probably stay on state highways and interstates.  As far as police powers go they are probably both state enforcement officers with equal powers.

Well Im a deputy in NC.  The pay is ok, but nobody gets into law enforcement for the pay. If pay is important to you, then go somewhere else.  Shifts are different everywhere, mine for example are 12 hour shifts.  Typically you dont have to live in the county, but if they have take home cars for deputies, than you do have to live in the county.  I have known some Sheriffs tell people they need to move into the county to get the job.  Sheriffs are elected officials and if a new one gets in the rules can change.  Benefits should be the same as a typical county employees. If its a good size county, then the benefits should be good.  Retirement benefots for most law enforcement officers are usually pretty good as well.  Alot of county deputies have second jobs as well or work security for places under the table.  This is mainly when you work 12 hour shifts and have more days off due to this.  Also, in NC and probably other places, Deputies can do more than police officers.  We can serve civil papers and do other things city cops cant.  I hope this helps, like I said if money is a major concern, then law enforcement is not a good choice.  I for one have no problem with my wife making more money than I do, because I know my job is important and I am making a difference in the world.  Oh and one more thing, you have to have thick skin, such as the infants on here that bash police.  This will happen, then only justification you get is watcing them cry and beg when they get caught doing something and dont wanna go to jail.  Then they are not so tough!!

I can tell you the National guard cannot fire unless authorized by the State Governor. so you are wrong The National Guards that are planed to go to the border will do their two week summer tour there and build fences and bridges and give the Border patrol freedom to do their Jobs and they can shoot at will.

US Boarder Patrol are Federal Law Enforcement Officers, they have Federal power of arrest.\n\nUnless they are doing regular road blocks doing spot checks and the such,  they will need "reasonal suspection" to do a traffic stop.  Reasonable cause is what is needed for a search warrant,\n\nBut honestly beleive me as a past law enforcement officer, I can pick almost any vechile that passes and there is something either on or about the vechile that would allow it to be stoped, and if not, within 2 miles of following them they will do something wrong.\n\nAnd of course if the claim you were crossing the yellow line, who is going to not beleive them

I will give you an eyewitness statement. First, I'm not from Texas (I'm a Tar Heel!!! - GO NC!!), second I'm not in the National Guard, I'm active duty. Now the account, I served with an active duty battalion that was assigned 2 National Guard companies - one was from Kansas and one was from Texas. They were truck companies, and both saw heavy action. On a side note, I found both units to be extremely professional in their duties. Neither shirked from any mission assigned to them and had an amazing "Can Do" attitude. If I had any negative comments about the Guard units I have served with - they are minor. I found they had a bit of a height/weight and PT shortcoming, but they more than made up for that with their Mission First attitude. My BC had a board in his office/tent with a collection of all the Guard patches of units we had run into over there. I don't recall a single state missing from his board - we even had a couple territory patches (Guam and PR). So whoever posted that on a Yahoo Board is simply giving into conspiracy BS and once again, as they almost always seem to be - are yapping away and have NEVER spent a day. Isn't it curious how the folks who seem to to come up with this crap have a mysterious lack of service to go along with their tripe?

Yes.\n\n  There is a 1981 Pennsylvania law banning the practice of "directly or indirectly" suggesting that an individual police officer should issue "a certain number of traffic citations." \n\n  However, there has been an ongoing investigation in Pennsylvania for the past few years about the Pennsylvania State Police issuing quotas for their troopers to meet.  The only reason they are getting away with it is that they are calling them "averages" and "standards" to hide the fact that it is a quota.

Actually, the police are trained in identifying plates and expiration stickers from other states.  If you are doing something suspicious or possibly violating a traffic law, you could get stopped and cited.

with the creation of the dept of homeland security, many police depts are getting more extensive training.. however i may be confused in the context of your question... if an enemy was on a mil base.. the military would respond... the military would only assist law enforcement if a state of emergency is declared.. does this answer your question??

In Fl. we have road rangers in the southern part of the state that help out the Florida Highway Patrol with car that have mechanical problems. The best part is that the service is totally FREE. Maybe you have a service similar to this. Call your state patrol office.

I believe the process may be different from state to state. For example, if somebody driving a car with tags from Alberta (Canada) and gets pulled over and is cited by the Florida Highway Patrol for speeding, it's less than likely that the issue will be pursued after the court summons is sent from Florida to Alberta, which is quite a distance, around 3,500 miles. Conversely, if somebody from Montreal is pulled over from the New York Highway Patrol on I-87 (which is only about an hour's drive away), I've read somewhere that certain border states have treaties with border provinces to pursue the offender. \n\nPersonally, I had such an experience, and here's how it went down:\n\nI was living in a Southern state (say, maybe immediately north of South Carolina) and was driving to Montreal, Quebec, to visit some friends. Despite my radar detector use, a Pennsylvania State trooper, using instant-on radar (which pretty much renders your radar detector useless), nabbed me at 87 MPH in a 65 MPH zone. At the time, I had just obtained my driver's license from the afore-mentioned southern state, but I still also had my driver's licence from Quebec as it hadn't expired yet. On a whim, I gave the trooper my Canadian driver's licence, and he used that info to ticket me for $230. The trooper was actually pretty cool about it by telling me that "...if I didn't pay, they weren't gonna come chasing me all the way up there." Well, having little money (and no scrupules), I didn't pay the ticket, which was sent to my Dad's address in Canada. Six months later, an arrest warrant in my name was sent to my Dad's place, which was in effect for 24 months. For obvious reasons, I stayed the hell away from PA during that time, the arrest warrant expired, and my speeding ticket erased from the records of the PA State Police. Actually, I still kinda tighten up my PC muscles as I travel through PA to this day. Please don't tell on me! :)
