You talkin bout when cops collide? In STL? Your link came up to a registration page, here's more on the accident...looks like the bad cop was drunk with a .188 BAC.

I think you hit the nail pretty close to right on the head...Ohio must have a state law or statute. So the officer was able to cite the pilot. Local officers get their authority from the state, so they would have been able to cite under a state statute as well. I know, I just got a seat belt citation and it's under the state statute 347.48(2m)dalegribble said:Actually, in most states, only State Police Officers have jurisdiction over issuing citations involving aircraft. Basically, I am not a lawyer, but if there is a state statute defining aircraft operation a state agency may issue a citation for "violating" said statutes. A total crock of $hit if you ask me.
