Once had a guy try to convince me that if the police officer wasn't in "hot pursuit" (i.e. you weren't speeding or running from them when you crossed the line) then they couldn't follow you into the next jurisdiction.
If the fictional person crossed a state line I doubt the officer has jurisdiction to make a stop. That doesnt mean he couldnt call it into the adjoining state however

Can a parish cop issue a ticket in a parish that isn't their jurisdiction?

Fiancee got a ticket in St. James issued by a St. John parish cop.
Sounds like a "yes"

She doesn't know exactly where she was. He wrote location on ticket as : U.S. 61/St. James.
Well, I'd think she might have an argument there. If you show up in a St. John Parish traffic court to appear for a ticket written by a St. John Parish deputy and the ticket he wrote says the violation occurred in St. James parish...
What's the judge going to do when the deputy testifies in court that the violation happened in St. John Parish, but the ticket he wrote says it occurred in St. James Parish and you ask the judge to dismiss because the deputy presented two conflicting pieces of evidence?

I will give you an actual answer even though this is the OT.
If a local LEO sees a traffic violation in his jurisdiction but the offender doesn't stop until they are in the next jurisdiction. He can stop the offender and write the ticket. The ticket is valid and will be adjudicated in the jurisdiction in which the violation occurred.
If the local LEO is out of his jurisdiction but witnesses activity which is placing the public in danger (i.e. someone swerving all over the road), they may initiate a stop and detain the person. But a LEO who has jurisdiction at that location will need to respond to write the violation. The responding LEO will list the out of jurisdiction officer as a witness.
If a local LEO is out of his jurisdiction and decides to stop someone for a minor traffic violation and write a ticket then the ticket would be invalid if sent to the court where he is commissioned. As far as him trying to write a ticket and send it to the court in which the violation occurred but he doesn't have jurisdiction, I have never heard of this happening and have no idea.
JB is the Esquire but as someone who commutes this stretch erry day, I see it a LOT and my assumption matches his explanation of Da Law.

Most bordering states have a agreements to keep pursuit till an escort(from the state the bad guy is entering) comes when it's a felony stop(now THAT i'm not positive on what it means).

Doesn't La. provide a deputy with a State Commission? In which case deputy would simply bring the ticket to the proper court jurisdiction without needing a "local" deputy?

I'm pretty sure LSU PD can write you a ticket if they catch you off campus even though it's not on the LSU campus.

When LSUPD was created by the state legislature, it was given statewide investigative and arrest authority for any crime that originates on LSU's campus. I don't think they can just post up in Vernon Parish and start writing tickets.

Actually, those guys were given a commission from the Legislature that is equivalent to a state troopers. I have no idea why but they can do just about what they want in the state. Only state equivalents are LSP, Attorney General, Wildlife and Fisheries and a couple of other agencies like ATC. You are correct about them only handling cases that originate on campus but that is an agency guideline / rule and not a result of their commission from the Legislature. If some LSUPD guy got caught running radar in Golden Meadow he would be fired with the quickness. They aint got time for all that.
As far as Sheriff's deputies they do NOT have statewide authority. People get that confused. What often happens though is that a group of Sheriff's in a region will get together and sign an agreement to issue Commissions good within all of their respective Parishes. Usually to narcotics, investigators and other special units as opposed to regular patrol deputies.

I'm not talking about going in another parish.
LSU PD responds to wrecks and things right off campus that is technically not the LSU campus

Agreed. I was responding to the poster that said the crime had to originate on campus for them to have jurisdiction. It doesn’t but they just use that as policy.
