Christopher v. State

ON APPELLANT’S MOTION FOR REHEARING

The majority holds that § 153 of Article 6701d, V.A.C.S., grants game wardens au*938thority to arrest a citizen for speeding. But its formulation is such that every person within any classification listed in Article 2.12, V.A.C.C.P., will be empowered, by this decision, to stop and arrest anyone “found committing a violation of any provision” of the Uniform Act Regulating Traffic on Highways, Article 6701d, V.A.C.S.1 Yet there cannot be found a legislative intent to enlist in the battle against traffic violators every single “peace officer” in the State of Texas.
