    Default NJ state trooper in PA

    OK so Saturday me and my girl go out to some place for some food that we've never been to before, after about an hour or so we decide to head back to her place which is about 45 mins away, we try to get the GPS going on our phones but for some reason neither of us has any internet so I decided to see if I can get back myself

    Anyways after driving a while I guess i got on the wrong highway because I started getting close to the Delaware river, so I'm getting close to a bridge and I decided to try to make an illegal u turn because I don't want to enter prnj unless I have to

    When getting ready to turn around that's when I see him a NJ state trooper about 100 feet from the bridge so that's when I decided instead of getting pulled over I'll just go in nj make a u turn and and head back into PA and that's what I did I crossed the bridge made a u turn payed the 2 dollar toll and head back into PA and he's still there sitting in his police cruiser, all I have to say is luckily I wasn't carrying

    So what was an NJ state trooper doing in PA? Can he even pull someone over in PA and give them a citation?

    As long as I was still in Pa, I'd have whipped a shitty right in front of him. I hate NJ.

    Could I have done an illegal u turn in pa in front of him and him not be able to do anything about it?

    He was completely in PA like I said 100 feet from the entrance of the bridge

    I question whether he was in pa, or in pa at the line watching only people only going into nj.

    I would have popped a U'ee anyways. And took my chances. Even more so if I was carrying. He can't be in pa and stop pa. He's nj. He has a jurisdiction. Officers being in one jurisdiction and stopping someone as they go into another happens though.

    Depends on what the stop was for and any joint compacts between the states.

    For indictable offenses, an out-of-state officer in 'close pursuit' can enter Pa and arrest.

    Some of the Delaware bridge compacts allow for full joint-state police powers within the property and approaches on both sides of the bridge.
    IANAL

    But cops do stuff all the time that are beyond their powers, jurisdiction and even against your personal rights.

    What makes you think he wouldn't have pulled him over anyways and caused the op a headache?

    What about car chases that go into different states? Do they just stop and say well I guess thats the end for me... Hell no

    I know the Delaware Port Authority Police that cover the Commodore Barry bridge have jurisdiction on both sides, learned that one the hard way unfortunately lol

    According to every movie ever made, yes. Sometimes even the county line is enough to stop them.
    I can tell you've been rady8ed, you have a nice glow about you.
