State v. Meyer

OPINION

GORDON W. SHUMAKER, Judge.

Appellant challenges the stop of his vehicle, arguing that because the officer was outside of his territorial jurisdiction and performing only “ministerial” activities when he observed the alleged violation, the officer was not acting in the course and scope of his employment and did not have the authority to stop his vehicle. Because the officer was acting within the course and scope of his employment when he observed the violation, he was acting within his jurisdiction and had the authority to stop appellant’s vehicle. We affirm.
