Okay, we're talking a city cop, pulled my friend over out of city limit, therefore he didn't have jurisdiction..He then initiated a search, that my friend consented to..yeah, stupid..I know. Several minutes later they find some rolling papers and a pipe, and about a bowl's worth of marijuana. The officer then points a few hundred feet ahead to the road and says "You see that curb up there? Well that's where my jurisdiction ends, so I'm going to have to call another officer to come sign this ticket." Fifteen minutes later a county deputy comes out and signs it. Did they have the right to pull him over and do a search out of jurisdiction??

The reason I ask is that this happened nearly a month ago, and the court hasn't filed anything yet, and when he went to court they just postponed it to a later date..The cop that pulled him over out of jurisdiction, and the deputy that wrote the tickets have been cruising around following my friend and sitting and waiting for us to leave places. We've had on three different nights since then to call someone to pick us up because that guy was going to pull us over when we left the store...I think they're trying to bust him again, only this time with the deputy with him they can pull us over even out of city limits, if that happens again. Were they wrong to pull him over in the first place? Because I really think that's what it is, and if it's so, then I'm going to tell him to go to the courthouse and let them have it. The fact that we're being nearly harassed by the bastards is quite annoying, and it's probably because they're going to have to legally pull him over to find his stash...I've been busted for it before, and they know I smoke...and since the both of us are hanging out, we're obviously still smoking..thanks for any help guys
