2/7/07-A bill has died that would have given law enforcement officers more power to arrest people caught speeding.
Sponsored by Delegate John Cosgrove, R-Chesapeake, HB1772 remained in the House Courts of Justice Committee at the deadline to advance to the chamber floor, effectively killing it for the year.
The bill would have allowed officers to arrest people for speeding even if they are out of uniform. The only requirement would have been that they display a badge.
