After reading the DMV statutes here in North Carolina, this is what I found:
Quote:
NCGS § 20-114. Duty of officers; manner of enforcement.
(a) For the purpose of enforcing the provisions of this Article, it is hereby made the duty of every police officer of any incorporated city or village, and every sheriff, deputy sheriff, and all other lawful officers of any county to arrest within the limits of their jurisdiction any person known personally to any such officer, or upon the sworn information of a creditable witness, to have violated any of the provisions of this Article, and to immediately bring such offender before any magistrate or officer having jurisdiction, and any such person so arrested shall have the right of immediate trial, and all other rights given to any person arrested for having committed a misdemeanor. Every officer herein named who shall neglect or refuse to carry out the duties imposed by this Chapter shall be liable on his official bond for such neglect or refusal as provided by law in like cases.
with the following definition:
Person. – Every individual, firm, partnership, association, corporation, governmental agency, or combination thereof of whatsoever form or character.
|
So, this is telling me that a man in a blue uniform with a gun cannot even stop me unless I am known personally to him, or until (that means after) he has a sworn statement from a credible witness (which does not inlcude himself) that I have violated any of the DMV statutes.
Am I reading this correctly? Is that you all's take on this?
