Troopers have jurisdiction throughout the state as long as they identify themselves as a trooper. No officer should get involved in a situation that involves a friend or family, in my opinion, but there is no law that prevents it.

this is absolutely not true. I do not know of a Louisiana code of criminal procedure or revised statute that prohibit LSP from being arrested by any officer commissioned under the laws of this state/municipality. The swath of an officers jurisdiction does not trump anyone operating within their respective jurisdictions.

DA doesn't set booking policy.

I go into a bar, announce that I am a trooper, then beat down some dude without repercussions. Seems legit.

Yes it does. The state can take over ANY investigation it chooses anywhere in the state at any time. This is generally not done if the local department is competent and does not request assistance but it can still be done. If the trooper identified himself as such and said he was taking over the scene there is nothing BRPD could do about it except file a complaint. I am not sure about the laws applying to the arrest of the trooper, as I stated above.

Absolutely not. Troopers would be called out to make the arrest or the local PD would detain until the troopers arrived. I am assuming this is how it would be handled as, again, I have never seen such a thing in all my years.

news to me, can you cite the statute or code of criminal procedure sating such? i like being informed and knowing what I'm talking about for future discussions.

Should have controlled his brother or minded his own damn business

It would cost the taxpayers more to lock him up.
So now all of a sudden BRPD is all about saving tax payers money?
Everybody knows what it is man, preferential treatment for a fellow cop, the whole reason this is even an incident is b/c BRPD didnt know he was a trooper until after they tazed him.
At that point is was a "oh hey my bad, but look I tazed you so I gotta do something."
You, I and everybody else in the thread knows it, you're just looking at it through blue glasses.
If it was myself, or any other Joe that "pushed a cop" and was then tazed we'd have gotta an knee to the kidney, our dog hunted down, and arrested.

Best I can do is Wiki as I don't have the time, or patience
, to go through my books. If you are an officer this should have been taught to you in your academy. State has jurisdiction everywhere within the state. I, again, have no idea how the arrest of a trooper by a non trooper would or should be handled if he has taken control of a scene. quote:

I agree. This would have been the most sensible thing to do.

If he had a brain in his head (and everyone here that knows him says he does) then he should have given his brother the beat down instead of going after the officer.
A simple "I am a Trooper, that is my brother, please stand back while I whip his arse" would have saved both of them an arrest. ManCode clearly states you never intercede in a brother on brother fight.

This is if you go by BRPDs account, Lord knows they would never tell a lie.....

The sherriff's dept can also "kick out" troopers from his/her respective parish if he so chooses. Troopers aren't above being arrested by a deputy or PO, and an off duty trooper can't take over an investigation in teh heat of the moment from a local.

That is not true. Are you sure you were a cop?

I was under the impression the sheriff himself could do it, not the department.
There was an incident years ago with prisoner transport by the state police through iberville parish.
The sheriff met them with a veritable army of deputies and made them go around. Strictly to pull rank.
