Description
Transfer of custody in a DUI arrest. Allows a law-enforcement officer to arrest without a warrant any person whom the officer has probable cause to suspect of driving while intoxicated or committing certain DUI-related offenses in the officer's presence and to thereafter transfer custody of the person suspected of any such violation to another officer, who may obtain a warrant based upon statements made to him by the arresting officer. Currently this transfer authority exists only for arrests made for drunk boating. Read the Bill »
