HB 2245 Driving under influence of alcohol; law-enforcement officer to arrest without warrant.
Introduced by: William K. Barlow | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE: (all summaries)
Transfer of custody in a DUI arrest, etc. Allows a law-enforcement officer to arrest without a warrant any person whom the officer has probable cause to suspect of driving while intoxicated or committing certain DUI-related offenses in the officer's presence and to thereafter transfer custody of the person suspected of any such violation to another officer, who may obtain a warrant based upon statements made to him by the arresting officer. Currently this transfer authority exists only for arrests made for drunk boating. The bill also provides that a law-enforcement officer may arrest, without a warrant, any person who commits any misdemeanor or traffic infraction, or substantially similar local ordinance, not committed in his presence, if he receives a message, from another officer who personally observed the violation, provided that the observing officer sends the message after he observes the alleged offense and positively identifies the alleged offender to the arresting officer. This bill incorporates HB 1954.
