Is there a proper basis to arrest a deputy constable who is also a private police patrol officer?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Lopez v. City of Oxnard, 207 Cal.App.3d 1, 254 Cal.Rptr. 556 (Cal. App. 1989):
Abbott v. Cooper (1933) 218 Cal. 425, 23 P.2d 1027, does not assist Lopez either. In Abbott, a "rival" private police patrol officer, who was also a deputy constable, was arrested and jailed without warrant; there was no proper basis for doing so. (Abbott, supra, at p. 427, 23 P.2d 1027.)
