New Law Would Give Tribal Police Extended Authority

The Oregon Senate approves giving Tribal Police officers some arrest authority off of tribal lands. Eugene Senator Floyd Prozanski says this will not be a cash cow for tribes, because any ticket they issue off tribal lands will be payable to the State of Oregon. Prozanki says tribal police will also have to be certified by the State. Thise opposed say it gives an unfair advantage to Tribal Police; that they will have arrest power inside tribal ands and without, but other law enforcement will not have the same power. The bill now moves to the House.
