It will depend on what HS was doing it,  most medium and large police departments have Homeland Security officers appointed in it.  All of the state police units I know, including some of the larger college police units all have homeland secuity officers also.\n\nIf the officer has been sworn in as a state, county or city police yes they may.\n\nMany times the vechiles have specific names and the officers assigned to varouis units, but this will not mean they don't have other powers of arrest.\n\nin general those that work at the Federal level would not be doing traffic stops

Yes they should.  They are officers to, no matter what their position is. They are still wearing a badge and they are still there for our protection. They have to know the law to so shur they should be able to give out tickets.  Be easy on them, just imagine being outside in the strange weather to give out tickets because of people parking wrong. Sorry to hear about the ticket. At least it doesn't show on the driving record.

You got me for Michigan.  In PA it is around $120.\n\nThey moving violation is either for "Failure to Stop", or "Failure to yield right of way".\n\nYou have to stop, and you have to not get in the way of another car that has the green light.  Don't do that and that turn was not legal.

yes. any moving violation will add points.  go to traffic school and get rid of the point.

speed limits are set by state law.\n\nany police jurisdiction in which the interstate runs though has police jurisdiction.\n\nif it runs though a city, city police can radar there,  in the county, the sheriff can patrol there, and of course highway patrol can patrol there also

Normal driving speeds should be acknowledged during transport.  However, if the officer is in proximity of another 911 he can exceed the speed limit in order to respond.\n\nDuring a routine traffic stop I was once arrested for "not having drivers license on person."  Which is a discretionary ticket.  I had left work on the night shift for lunch and left my purse in my locker?   I was hand cuffed behind my back and placed in the car.\n\nThe officer received a call to respond to a possible drug related incident?  He flew 120 MPH to a house in the country.  I sat in the back seat while they busted a house.  The officer came to the patrol car and told me to lay down.  I asked if he could loosen the cuffs because they were cutting into my wrists?  He said he couldn't do that.  The officer put the drug dealer in car with ME.\n\nThen he drove like a bat out of hell for 20 minutes to get to the station.  I even asked the officer if he had to drive so fast, and could he legally do that?  He said "I can in this case".\n\nI mentioned this when I went to court?  The fine for my misfortune should have been release upon ICS or ISS or what ever they call into?  My court fine?  $900!\n\nI would say that the officer can validate his speed by any means of responce and/or immediate call for assistance.

Yes it is law that you MUST pull over for emergency vehicles that are running red lights and sirens. The part where you are getting the suggestion that you pull over is for volunteer firefighters or emts in the thier personal vehicles while running lights (in NY its blue lights, same in CT). That is the reason emergency vehicles have lights and sirens. Police have been known to push vehicles out of the way with thier cruisers while in traffic for this reason. Regardless of what the law says it is a good idea to pull over and stop, police, firefighters and Emergency Medical personel do  not drive lights and sirens for fun (although tons of people think they do) it is dangerous for them, so make thier job easier and the F*@% out of the way when you see them comming down the road!

I do, I had to follow them when I entered the US.  I can not understand why everyone is up in arms about enforcing a law?  That is like the cops stopping to pull over people for speeding?

A vehicle that is classified "off road" shall not\nbe driven on a public road.\n Depending on what it is, it may be towed at your\nexpense. You can get a ticket. You also pay \nstorage charges for the vehicle.\n You could go to any Highway Patrol office and\nask, but don't drive an off road vehicle to their office.

Yes, they can take your car, your house, and any thing else associated with the crime. It is part of RICO Anti-racketeering law.\n\nOh, and you still have financial responsibily for the confiscated items.

the pretruding ends shouldnt be more than a little over cars length i guess but as far as i know as long as you got the flag on and the lumber/pipes are tightly sercured you should be okay. if you get pulled over blame it on your bos or take the ticket to your boss and show him it and have him reimburse you because he told you to do it and if you didnt he wouldvve writen you up or tried to fire you make sure you tell him that and be like "what was i gonna to do say no to you so you could write me up or fire me?" to your boss if he gives you crap about reimbursing you for a ticket he caused you to get

Immigration enforcement is now handled by the Office of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, a branch of the Department of Homeland Security. Contact your nearest office. The source below has a list of them.

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.

If the Officer was driving around in his vehicle it would be illegal. The officer is subject to the same laws as we are not to mention that this is dangerous for anyone else on the road. However if he is parked offside the road of course he can have his lights off while radaring people. \nIt is not entrapment the Officers lights off is not forcing you to speed. I'm sure if he had is headlights on and was offside the road alot of people would still speed by.

The military is not allowed to step in and deal with law enforcement unless Martial Law is declared.  It is called the Posse Comitatus Act .  It can only be done if the Pres deems it in the very best interest of the people.\n\nThere are a number of situations in which the Act does not apply. These include:\n\nNational Guard units while under the authority of the governor of a state; \nTroops when used pursuant to the Federal authority to quell domestic violence as was the case during the 1992 Los Angeles riots; \nTroops used under the order of the President of the United States pursuant to the Insurrection Act \nIn December 1981 additional laws were enacted clarifying permissible military assistance to civilian law enforcement agencies—including the Coast Guard—especially in combating drug smuggling into the United States. Posse Comitatus clarifications emphasize supportive and technical assistance (e.g., use of facilities, vessels, aircraft, intelligence, tech aid, surveillance) while generally prohibiting direct participation of Department of Defense personnel in law enforcement (e.g., search, seizure, and arrests). For example, Coast Guard Law Enforcement Detachments (LEDETS) serve aboard Navy vessels and perform the actual boardings of interdicted suspect drug smuggling vessels and, if needed, arrest their crews. \nUnder 18 U.S.C. § 831, the Attorney General may request that the Secretary of Defense provide emergency assistance if civilian law enforcement is inadequate to address certain types of threat involving the release of nuclear materials, such as potential use of a Nuclear or Radiological weapon. Such assistance may be by any personnel under the authority of the Department of Defense, provided such assistance does not adversely affect U.S. military preparedness. \nThe United States Coast Guard is not affected by the act during peacetime.
