Re "criminal" speeding.

ss_stealth wrote - Title29-A
Chapter 1, §105. Enforcement

1. Authority to stop motor vehicle. If a law enforcement officer has reasonable and articulable suspicion to believe that a violation of law has taken or is taking place, that officer, if the officer is in uniform, may stop a motor vehicle for the purpose of:

A. Arresting the operator for a criminal violation; [1993, c. 683, Pt. A, §2 (new); Pt. B, §5 (aff).]

You need to verify whether speeding, without more, is a crime. If not then where has the Legislature AUTHORIZED the cop to make a "warrantless arrest" for NONcriminal conduct?
