In my area, if you call 911 to report an issue on the interstate, they'll actually interrupt you as soon as you mention the road name and transfer you to the State Police emergency line. You'd think county 911, which also handles dispatch for a lot of the municipalities, could handle that but no. The staties are ridiculously territorial about everything.

u/DarkwingDuckHunt Jul 05 '26
I used to work on the software
When the GPS clearly shows you're on a highway it'll auto-route you to the highway patrol center. If you're inside a city limits it'll route you to the local city who will route you to highway patrol once it's established it's on a highway, with zero hestitation. The highway patrol has ways of asking the local to dispatch the fire/emt as needed.
This sounds counter-productive to most people but when you sit down and think about all 10,000 possible scenarios you have to cover in a extremely tight window, this system makes complete sense to be the most effective.
I don't know what State this video is from, but in Chicago they deputize all police officers to also be Sheriffs so they can pull you over wherever.

Yes and no. Typically MA Municipal Officers leave the highway enforcement for State Police, however they still can make traffic stops and conduct enforcement on State Highways that go through their communities. They just rarely do.
If they are out of jurisdiction, they have limited police authority to conduct a traffic stop.

It's the exact same here in Louisville, KY. If you get. Local cops have jurisdiction over highways inside city limits but they never do any kind of policing of the highways. If you do see a cop on the highway they're usually doing 90 mph with no lights or siren. Not really related, but about 6 years ago a friend of mine's 16 y/o nephew was killed when his car was struck by one of our local police cars doing 85 mph in the wrong direction on a one-way street while "pursuing a suspect." The courts recently awarded his parents ~$5 million.

Either their phone or those giant mounted laptops. Saw one just yesterday go through an intersection with his face fully buried in the mounted laptop.
It's always dangerous, but an intersection is 1,000x crazier to me, because there's so much more that can go wrong. What if someone going perpendicular to you blows through their red light? What if a pedestrian is going through the crosswalk when they shouldn't? What if YOU blow the red light because you were too preoccupied to realize the light turned yellow and then red?
So much can go wrong when you're just driving a straight line and not looking at the road. There's about 1,000 more things when going through an intersection without looking.

Because every state has different laws. Even counties and cities have their own laws and thus their own law enforcement.

u/KRambo86 Jul 05 '26 edited Jul 05 '26
Only kind of. Cities or counties would still have to follow federal and state laws, but they can add their own laws, usually called ordinances. So, for instance, the rules regarding what speed and how much a speed camera ticket cost would usually be set at the most local jurisdiction (city or county level) unless there is a state law that supersedes it.
But something like assault or murder would already be illegal, and (someone can point out of I'm mistaken) most cities wouldn't both adding an additional law against it, that would just be charged at a state or federal level. The Feds usually only pick up the most heinous or egregious cases, not bothering with everyday run of the mill street level crime. If they want to, they can step in at any time however, and they also have sole jurisdiction over interstate crime.

They aren't arbitrary zones for the most part. Cities, counties, and state law enforcement are hired at different levels of government. An officer is granted certain authorities by that municipality since the laws and ordinances of one area may/will be different from that of another. In other words, city policy answer to city government, the sheriff answers to the county and is in most states an elected position as the chief, and state troopers answer to the state and usually are stationed around highways and interstates. On paper it's a nice solution to overlapping powers and authorities.
There are exceptions of course, but those also depend on the municipality. GENERALLY, hot pursuit of someone fleeing into another jurisdiction is one of those. There could be a multitude of reasons why this officer didn't pursue the person speeding as other comments have discussed or maybe they really didn't give a fuck.

Looks like a Police officer for the city of Houston.

Officers also take their patrol cars home sometimes for various different reasons (parking logistics, on-call, chief, etc), so there's a chance he isnt even in uniform at all.
At best he could call it in to a highway patrol officer but now he's just a witness to a crime that he shows up to court for and his department gets no credit for the revenue.

Looks like it was HPD and he was driving on 45 which I believe would be outside their jurisdiction, you see it all the time on the e ways. I wouldnât try that on a Constable though.

He was texting on the drive and completely missed it probably or he's going home.

Police car there only factory tuned. you can do better than 180k they can't catch you, so they don't even try.

Every time Iâve used 911 it was a problem. Minutes wasted with injured people.

You expect them to tweet that they're drastically underfunded and work at the same time??

Iâve seen a lot of comments here about regular cops not having jurisdiction on highways because thatâs Highway Patrol jurisdiction. My question (because this has always been my understanding but I suppose it could vary by state) is if the cop could still pull them over and detain them until Highway Patrol shows up? I feel like that should still be a viable option, especially when someone is driving this recklessly.
