Jurisdiction on the Interstate

[charlie12]

Ok people have posted about Livingston Parish so what if say a Livingston PD officer has a LPSO commission writes somebody outside the city limits of the Town of Livingston and runs it through 21st district? Sound like a good bust to me.
How many local LEO's have Parish commissions?

I personally don't know why an officer outside of their jurisdiction would WANT to take action on anything that would not otherwise morally call for action. You are kind of hanging your neck out when you are out of communication. I had to go to a training class in Orlando once, in a marked unit, and actually took great pleasure in NOT having to stop for broken down cars and the like.. :-) If it starts IN my jurisdiction and no rank calls it off though, I better run out of gas before you.

I have often wondered how that Livingston cop writes tickets on the interstate that is at least 2 miles away from the town of Livingston.

Where does the Town limit end?

 

[MOTOR51]

I believe the town limit ends just pass the ramps. I believe all of the Dept within Livingston parish such as town of Livingston,Albany,etc have parish commissions. This is done so they can assist the deputies with calls.

There has to be at least one LPSO on here that can clarify. I h e stopped severalDWI on my way home after I had comm contact that jurisdiction and they have asked me to stop them. It is not wise to pull over someone for a minor infraction like speeding if you are out of your jurisdiction when the violation does not happen within your jurisdiction.

Edit: sorry for all the "jurisdiction".

Most.

If you are stationary and someone passes you at 80+ MPH you can not overtake them right away and the violation was in his jurisdiction at I 12 and Hwy. 63 not where the vehicle is stopped.

Walker City limits covers everything between Satsuma and Denham Springs on I 12.
Basically 14 MM to 21 MM. Walker does not work I 12 as hard as Livingston.
Walker places a higher priority on calls in the City proper rather than traffic enforcement on I 12.

I see walker PD almost every morning working I-12...

Yep Alton is a expert at that, and sometimes it's 100 mph plus

I think JPB55 has posted it before that Walker City Limits go from Satsuma exit west to the Denham limits. So from Satsuma exit west to the Amite River you could have WPD, DSPD, LSP are LPSO.

So is anyone writing tickets for less than 6mph over ?

I would not think so unless you were in a School Zone or the LEO wanted to stop you for another reason and used the speeding for PC.

I'm fully aware of that, but I think you missed my point. The tiny town of Livingston is about 2 miles away from the interstate. In fact, I doubt for all intents and purposes the actual town is much more than a mile wide, yet the older fellow seems to make the town a lot of money with the convenience provided by his jurisdiction being pushed just past the ramps of the interstate. I just think its funny how some municipalities play their games.

If you look at Town/City limits on maps they always look crazy. Example French Settlement they run along La. 16 but only 1000' off the road so if one of those deadend roads that run off it is 1500' long and the call is at the deadend FSPD tells LPSO it's their call.

The new City of Central north limit runs 1000' north of La. 64 until it gets to the trashy trailer park Deer Run then it goes around it. They didn't want that in their City.

So the Town's are just taking the money that the speeders want to give them, that's why they have those big signs with numbers out there.

Here's a news flash... I haven't had a badge in over four years.

And if you define arrogance as impatience with certain... views... then, yes, I'm the same person in person.

Good for you man!

A badge is just like alcohol, some people have a problem with it others don't. You have been clean and sober or in this case badge free for four years. GREAT JOB!
Don't get impatient.

one day at a time brother. One day at a time.
