All right, I've got a jurisdiction question. Just a curiosity - I did not get a ticket; this is not a cop bashing thread.
I was driving westbound on County Line Road between Johnson and Marion County heading toward Meridian (SR135). I swerved a little as I picked up something I dropped. I knew I had swerved so that was no issue. I didn't know it was a cop behind me.
Anyway, I turned left heading south onto Meridian (SR135). The officer turned his lights on and pulled me over. I pulled into a parking lot so he didn't have to be in traffic. He came up to the car and did the normal spiel: license and registration. I was open carrying so I told him I have a LTCH and it's on my hip. His response: leave it right where it is. So, I gotta give em props for that. It was just that simple - leave it in the safest spot.
Anyway, he took a while and came back with a warning for "left of center". Never mind that I was actually right of center, swerved a little into the right lane. He wrote on the warning "SR135 at County Line". Now, he pulled me over AS SOON as I got onto 135. The swerving did not happen on 135. It was on County Line. He's a Johnson County Sheriff's deputy.
Does the Johnson County Sheriff's office have jurisdiction on County Line Road? I assume they do not, or he'd have written the warning truthfully.
Anyway, just curious.
