Bill Summary
An Act To Amend Section 63-3-519, Mississippi Code Of 1972, To Authorize The Sheriff And His Or Her Chief Deputy In Any County To Use Radar Speed Detection Equipment Upon The Public Roads And Highways Within A County That Are Outside The Limits Of Any Incorporated Municipality; And For Related Purposes.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing Mississippi law to allow sheriffs and their designated deputies to use radar speed detection equipment on public roads and highways within their county, provided these roads are located outside the boundaries of any incorporated municipality. This new provision expands the authority to use such speed detection devices, which are tools used to measure vehicle speeds, beyond the previously limited scope that primarily included municipal law enforcement within certain population thresholds and campus police. The bill specifies that the deputy authorized to use this equipment is one who assists the sheriff in their official duties.
