Hoover PD regularly patrols I-22 and also I-20 west of Leeds. I've also seen Graysville and Adamsville on I-22, but at least they have jurisdiction there, Hoover sure as hell doesnt.

Hoover does fall into the category of this though:

police in cities with 19,000 or more residents can do so

They are, like you said, contracted by the State to be there. Brookside does NOT have jurisdiction on the Interstates, but they will 100% find a loophole to get people never the less.

So unfortunately I live close enough to Brookside that my online taxes actually go to this mafia because of the "2 mile buffer rule" - talk about being furious that a part of my taxes have funded this racked, luckily I never go into Brookside, and now I know to steer clear of it forever.
