Municipal Police Jurisdiction Act • Vehicle Stop • Drug Task Force Agreement
Commonwealth v. Forsythe, PICS Case No. 17-0947 (Pa. Super. June 1, 2017) Lazarus, J. (11 pages).
The trial court erred in suppressing evidence found on defendant’s person after a vehicle stop since the arresting officer was acting under a municipal drug task force agreement that did not require county ratification and, thus, his conduct did not violate the Municipal Police Jurisdiction Act. The appellate court reversed the trial court’s order of suppression.
