3849 The arrest of a person observed by the arresting officer to cut off several vehicles at a speed in excess of the posted limit, crossing three lanes at once without signaling, and who fled at speeds of 90 to 95 miles per hour when the officer turned on his red light and siren, was supported by probable cause; a local public agency's policy against its officers making misdemeanor traffic arrests cannot override state laws that grant any peace officer the authority to do so; arguments to the contrary were sufficiently without merit to justify imposition of sanctions against the attorney who prosecuted an appeal on the basis of such arguments.CitationJOHNSON v LEWIS (Traffic Arrest) 120 CA4 443 [See: VehC 23103; PenC 830.37, 836; Kodani v Snyder 75 CA4 471; Inouye v County 30 CA4 278, T/AT 12/94]
