The question is: Do sheriff's have jurisdiction on the state highway's, and could they write a traffic ticket? I always thought that they had jurisdiction just on local roads, not state highways.
The sheriff deputies have jurisdiction anywhere in the county, including state hi ways.
inside the city limits it doesn't matter the sheriffs are the top law enforcement officers in the county.
Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.
