And he’s from a town nowhere near where you’re driving

I thought they could pull you over, but can’t give you a ticket. They would call in a local PD car or highway patrol to do that and be a witness.

Where’s Steve Lehto?

That’s what my father, who is a former state trooper said too. He has done it before across state lines no less.

Usually when you see a cop way out of his jurisdiction, he is in the process of commuting to or from home and would be less likely to want to pull you over anyway.

Or is doing a prisoner transport.

I guess they will have the power of arrest similar to that of a civilian arrest but have no power of detention. I live on the border of England and Scotland and get a lot of Scottish police officers pop in for food. Who have the power to arrest someone in a civilian arrest type form but are literally a more trained and credible witness who have to wait for an English police force to make the actual arrest. Same works the other way round. Though in the most part the laws are the same there are differences that come into play such as car accidents (or rather Road Traffic Collisions, as to call it a Road Traffic Accident implies it was an accident).

But generally you should respect the law regardless.
