    Can an MP issue a speeding ticket to a civilian off-base, citing state code? (Posse Comitatus?)

    I was charged with speeding violation, (VA state code 46.2.820) on a District Court citation. I was driving a rental car, I had spent less than an hour total driving in and didn't realize my speed (I know that isn't a defense - just stating what happened). I was going to the base - but that...

    Can an MP issue a speeding ticket to a civilian off-base, citing state code? (Posse Comitatus?)

    This was helpful. Specifically Department of Defense police - Wikipedia However, the wiki states, "Each jurisdiction [In this case Marine Corps Base Quantico] adopts the surrounding state's motor vehicle laws under the Assimilative Crimes Act (see Federal Jurisdiction). So the...

    Can an MP issue a speeding ticket to a civilian off-base, citing state code? (Posse Comitatus?)

    I don't doubt he was real, but am questioning his authority to charge me with a state code violation. What is the US code that authorizes this? If they are Marine Corps Civilian Police, does this create a loophole for Posse Comitatus?

    His badge was a "Marine Police" badge, and he was a uniformed Marine Police officer. It was a "U.S. District Court Violation Notice". It is a home, but I can post later.

    Yes, they were a member of the USMC. The person was a uniformed Marine Police Officer in a SUV marked as Marine Police. They were not working with a partner.

    Can an MP issue a speeding ticket to a civilian off-base, citing state code? (Posse Comitatus?)

    If there is an agreement in place, wouldn't there need to be US code that would allow that agreement? Because, as mentioned in my OP, per Possee Comitatus, except in cases and under circumstances expressly authorized by the Constitution or by act of Congress, the military can't enforce civilian...

    Can an MP issue a speeding ticket to a civilian off-base, citing state code? (Posse Comitatus?)

    Regarding jurisdiction, this would be immediately after getting off an exit of I-95 (exit 148), but I know that probably doesn't help you. Even if it was their within their jurisdiction, how is the MP, who is not a state official, able to issue a state code citation? If I get off the exit, and...
