Can Peoria Police make arrests under the Civil Rights Act?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Gonzales v. City of Peoria, 722 F.2d 468 (9th Cir. 1983):
We therefore hold that federal law does not preclude local enforcement of the criminal provisions of the Act. We must now consider whether state law grants Peoria police the affirmative authority to make arrests under those statutes. See Ker v. California, 374 U.S. at 37, 83 S.Ct. at 1631.
